Truck For Life - 2006 Toyota Tacoma
By Bryan - November 20 - 8:06 pmIve always been driving a car, but when Toyota made a bigger Tacoma, I told myself, it is time. I usually drive this truck in the city, but I have taken it to the beach, mud, and dirt roads. Let me tell you, this truck can handle it all. I even helped a Ford F150 that got stuck in the sand. I may have lost my 3 series BMW, but I got this new TACOMA. This bad boy handles very good. Its so smooth, you will think youre driving a car.

I Waited 20 years for this truck - 2006 Toyota Tacoma
By Kelshm - October 25 - 1:46 amI have wanted a Tacoma forever. I never seemed to be able to find one when it was time to trade however. This time I just went all out and bought a new one. I should have done this before! This truck is phenomenal! I have never felt so secure in a vehicle in my life!

The best I have found - 2006 Toyota Tacoma
By Bill - October 6 - 2:10 pmAfter having a 82 SR5 for 260,000 miles with no real problem I was looking for a new vehicle to replace it as there wasnt enough room for the family. I looked atother trucks and setled on the Tacoma 4 dr V6. Unbelivable power and a turning radius better than my old SR5. It also is the most comfortable ride for long distances I have ever driven. I do not recomend lightly, this truck is perfect.

Awesome truck! - 2006 Toyota Tacoma
By toyotaman - August 16 - 2:36 amI previously owned an 04 Nissan Frontier, which I immediately regretted buying, so I traded it for an 05 tacoma 4cyl. PreRunner. I loved that truck so much that when it got taken away from me by my father who was the cosignor, I had to have another one. So I bought an 06 PreRunner, this time with a v6. I absolutely love this truck! I wouldnt trade it for anything except maybe another Tacoma. wouldnt change anything as far as design goes. I just wish Id spent the extra for a double cab long bed 4x4. Otherwise, I love my truck. Unfortunately so does my girlfriend, and we often argue over who gets to drive it.

TRD Sport - 2006 Toyota Tacoma
By skysharks4 - August 9 - 2:36 amThe styling is awesome and aggressive. I like the whole mid-size truck concept. The ride is a little stiff but thatÂ’s the way a truck should feel.

What a great truck! - 2006 Toyota Tacoma
By adpinc - July 30 - 10:13 amI turned in a leased 2005 Chevy Avalanche Z71. I had discovered that I really didnt need a full sized truck, and with gas prices where they are, I decided to buy a compact pick-up. I needed to have 4x4 and a double-cab design for seating for 4. I wanted reliability, but most importantly higher gas mileage. I quickly discovered that the Tacoma topped the list as far as meeting these minimum requirements. It has the best gas mileage in its class, very comfortable ride, and with the SR5 package, more than enough standard creature comforts. I have never owned a Toyota before, always opting for Hondas, but I have to tell you, I now understand "Toyota loyalty." What a great buy!

No Brainer -- - 2006 Toyota Tacoma
By MTB - June 23 - 1:50 amBest mid sized truck out there. Fit and finish are top-shelf-- best interior quality of any truck out there. Good power and excellent, though firm, ride. At least as comfortable as my 2002 Maxima. I looked at used Tacomas to save a little cash, but they seem to hold their value so well it made sense to just get a new one. Also considered Ridgeline and Xterra. Ridgeline was very nice, but pricier. Xterra was less expensive, but not as comfortable or as well done inside- plus I think Ill get more than the price difference back via resale value with Toyota. Frontier back seat was far less comfortable, thus eliminating it from consideration.

Excellent truck, on and off road - 2006 Toyota Tacoma
By AZDriver - June 19 - 9:13 pmI have had my Tacoma for a year and half and this truck is great! The truck is comfortable, spacious, and has excellent power. I use the truck to take me on my trips camping, snowboarding, fishing, and many other adventures and this truck seems to handle them all with ease. It also has a great ride on the road.

Your best bet! - 2006 Toyota Tacoma
By wilbret - May 18 - 1:50 pmHighly recommended. After owning 3 Chevrolets, a Nissan, and a Mitsubishi, I can say that the Toyota takes the cake. This truck is meant to be a truck. It doesnt have all the frilly features you will find on other brands, but you wont need them, trust me. You are buying a truck. The ride is sturdy, noise kept to a minimum, the seats are comfortable and both front and rear seats have ample leg and headroom. If you are considering a pickup, Tacoma will satisfy your needs even if you are hunting a full-size. I wouldnt recommend it for towing anything over 5,000 lbs, though. It can handle the PULL, its the stopping that becomes tough. This is my first non 4x4, and I can say so far so good.

My First New Vehicle - 2006 Toyota Tacoma
By Kelly - May 2 - 1:13 pmWaited 44 years to get my 1st new vehicle & after driving a 93 Reg Cab 4x4 the last 5 years... couldnt have made a better choice. 19/23 mpg lol, I averaged 25.2 MPG the 1st 2 tanks of gas (87 octane). Im 6-1, 210# and I cant believe the interior room. Only gripe I have is if I put my left elbow on the door rest to "push myself up" in the seat, it collapses & dimples in, very cheaply made. Not crazy about the Dun-rock tires (old tire salesman). A set of Michelins or Bridgestone Alenzas woulda been nice for the full size truck price I paid. Other than that, I love this truck and have NO regrets.
