Will never buy a Toyota/Lexus product - 2000 Toyota Tacoma
By Dissapointed - September 18 - 2:00 amI bought this truck believing that it was superior to all others on the market, man was I ever wrong. My Toyota ownership has been nothing short of a nightmare! I have had a rattling dashboard, squeaking clutch pedal, leaking transmission--enough to have the truck in the shop over 16 documented times. Have been through two arbitrations with Toyota. Buy something else with Your hard earned money.

It is a Toyota, all you need to know - 2000 Toyota Tacoma
By BobWegotababyitsaboy - February 14 - 2:23 pmIt took me over 6 months to find my truck. I think it was the manual transmission that made it hard. It is MUCH more comfortable than a Silverado, especially the new body style. It has 5 less HP than the 4.3L V6 in the Silverado and S10. I havent had any real problems. The gas mileage could be better, but I have a lead foot, so I cant complain. I didnt buy the truck for rear seat comfort, I rarely sit back there. It would have been nice to have more than 4 places to strap stuff down in the bed. I bought the Toyota name, and I will do it again.

Want a truck the rest of your life? - 2000 Toyota Tacoma
By Donald - January 1 - 7:10 pmDo you want a pickup/truck that, with maintenance will last you for the rest of your life? Do you like having a bond with your vehicle? Well if you dont get board with having the same vehicle, this truck (can only speak for 1995 up to 2000) will last the rest of your life. Its not invincible, and It still is a machine. But a very well made machine. The 2RZ (2.4L straight 4) is a solid engine. A Toyota Master Mechanic once told me from his experiences and what he has seen, he feels that this engine is in the top 10 best engines in the entire world. Not just Toyota engines. If you love this truck, it will love you back. This truck will always start for you. Unless the started dies, but if you have a manual you have an easy way around that to at least get somewhere to get the new part. At the very least, this engine with maintenance it will always be capable of turning over. This truck (2.4L) is not a maintenance free truck, but the maintenance is consistent (other words you wont have to many surprises), fairly cheap and easy to do most of the time. Buying a truck like this saves you money driving it. It does not wear tires unevenly, with the 2.4L you can push 30mpg if you dont drive it hard (trying to push 80 on the freeway, hard acceleration from stops, etc...) Almost every part on the car can last you to at least 200K before needing replacing (specifically ball joints. DO NOT go past 200K on upper Ball Joints). This truck (2.4L) can take a beating and will happily do it, because it wants to see you succeed. It wants to help put you in a possession that someday you can pass it onto a Son or Daughter. This truck will help you work hard, or at the the very least get you from point A to B consistently. It doesnt try to be the fastest, the strongest, the best looking, the most luxurious, the smoothest, it just tries. and tries and tries. It may not get an A++ in school, but it tries. and its participation bumps its grade up. This truck (2.4L) will be around a long time, and its a damn shame they dont make them with kind of personality like this anymore. If you are in the market, and happen to be reading this. 5/5, 10/10, 100/100, what ever you go buy. This truck (2.4L) has and always will have my recommendation.

the perfect vehicle for me - 2000 Toyota Tacoma
By jack martinez - October 31 - 10:00 amI traded in my nissan pathfinder for my toyota pre-runner pick up, what a relief, i love the 16-20 mpg and the interior is fun and comfortable, i get lots of compliments on the looks and style of my truck, i have not had any major problems with my pre-runner just routine maintenience and had replace the battery after 3 years, i also enjoy the sound system and the extended cab. this is a great vehicle for commuting to work, weekend projects, out door activities, and you can still go out for a night on the town and still look stylish.

Great Truck - 2000 Toyota Tacoma
By JG1968 - October 23 - 2:56 amExtremely reliable truck. Also, the truck is the most sure footed vehicle I have ever driven in the snow. The looks of the truck from the outside are classy and from the inside simple and straight forward. The stock seats are torture devices. Also, the cup holders are poor.

Love my truck but... - 2000 Toyota Tacoma
By Adam_M_P - October 17 - 10:00 amI have had my Tacoma for almost 2 yrs. now and after 42,000 miles and a few anoyances I still love my truck. On occasion the driver side door pannel vrates at highway speeds. The worst problem I have is the engine knocks when accelerating or climbing a hill at high speeds. The dealerships only recomendation was to run higher octane fuel, so my Tacoma now requires mid- grade gas & still knocks on a rare occasion.

timmytumbo says: - 2000 Toyota Tacoma
By tmartin - September 13 - 2:00 amThis is everything you should expect from a cheap 4X4. It gets the job done, but it is uncomfortable as hell. I have ended up driving it long distances from time to time, and I didnt intend to do so when I bought it. Still, I knew what I was getting, and have no complaints. Come on, its a Toyota truck!

Reliable Small Truck - 2000 Toyota Tacoma
By isotope200mev@msn.com - June 29 - 3:09 pmPurchased this vehicle new in 2000. 15 years later I only have 119,700 miles on the vehicle and plan to drive it for at least another 100,000 miles. Very reliable, performs well in mud and snow, high clearance....good overall off-road vehicle. Just replaced the front and rear struts/shocks (original equipment lasted close to 120K miles, not bad!). In addition to routine preventive maintenance, I have replaced the tires 2x and the battery 3x. I have been tracking my fuel economy since I purchased the vehicle and have received a15 year average of 21.43 mpg. Interior space is lacking (did not purchase the extended cab), however, I did put a camper shell on the bed. This is a sharp looking small truck and is fun to drive. Toyota reliability is outstanding!
