  2000 Tacoma SR5 TRD Extended Cab - 2000 Toyota Tacoma
  By dh - January 31 - 12:20 am

  This is the 2nd toyota truck Ive bought. Mechanicals in this truck are far better than my 1988, but interior materials are too cheap. Driver arm rest falling apart, various plastic parts are breaking. Driver seat is built for 58" and Im 62".

  My Best Truck Yet! - 2000 Toyota Tacoma
  By jazzbone - January 9 - 2:00 am

  I bought this under the premise that these vehicles are excellent and reliable. So far, all of the accolades seem to hold true. The ride is very truck like but the seat is comfy for my 6 250Lb frame. The cab could use more room, but is sufficient. Econmy is good for the roads I. I avg 19-20 on these roads, and get near 25 mpg on the valley flats. 4WD is exc and treads excellent in deep snow and very good on ice. The motor purrs and the 5 sp trans shifts smoothly. Im real happy with this truck, this lil Tacoma is doing more than I expected.

  190K and still running great - 2000 Toyota Tacoma
  By clloyd - August 23 - 1:26 am

  I bought this pickup used and have put 160K on it. Ive replaced the U joints- the only thing ever done over routine maintenance. I live in the country, lots of hauling and dirt roads. I love this truck and will never be without a Toyota!

  High marks for 2000 Tacoma XtraCab 4WD - 2000 Toyota Tacoma
  By Hunk - August 8 - 2:00 am

  Have had no problems with this truck since new except a water leak (wet rug) which the dealer managed to diagnose & fix on the first try (a grommet located on the fire wall was leaking.) I previously owned a 94 Tacoma (hilux) Reg Cab 4wd and found it to be a nice little truck; but Ive found the 2000 to be much more refined and comfortable, by a long shot. The 2.7L 4 cyl has surprisingly good pick-up with the automatic trans, just dont plan on moving too fast with the bed loaded.

  Fantastic Little Truck!!!!!!!!!! - 2000 Toyota Tacoma
  By Matt - January 27 - 5:36 pm

  Great truck! Kinda small, but I bought a standard cab so its my fault anyway. 2.4L 4Cyl has as much power as most domestic V6 models (at least it feels that way). Get the stick shift, much more fun to drive and easy to shift. Light clutch. Gas mileage could be better but isnt worth griping over. 24mpg is the best youll get. Has hauled a couple fairly heavy loads (well, heavy for a 4 cylinder!) quite well. Upgrade your headlamps with Sylvania Silverstars. I abuse mine and it doesnt care. Great little truck. Easy to work on (general stuff like plugs and wires, etc...). Highly recommended.

  happy not elated - 2000 Toyota Tacoma
  By joe driver - January 21 - 10:00 am

  This 2000 SR5 V6 x-cab has taken a beating! The reliability is fantastic! With 215k and climbing fast, it has never stranded me and has required only minimal maintainence and repairs. The power is terrific and mileage is 22-23 ave. I have had exactly 1 tuneup and it still runs beautifully. All that said the comfort level leaves a lot to be desired. It bucks like a bronco on bumpy LA roads, the cab gets fumes or exhaust smells frequently, and the rattles, squeeks and whistles are numerous. Being a professional driver(courier) the reliability and low maintainence outweighs the comfort problems and high sticker.
