Overview & Reviews

Toyota releases the Double Cab. A new StepSide version is available, and the S-Runner sport truck debuts. Revised front styling and new alloy wheels give the 2001 Toyota Tacoma a more rugged look. New exterior colors and option package content shuffling sum up the obvious changes for 2001.

• Powerful engine choices, attractive styling, competent off-road capabilities, crew-cab configuration.

• Uncomfortable seats, high prices, aging design, no third or fourth door on Xtracabs.

  Still solid as the day I bought it - 2001 Toyota Tacoma
  By MCJ - February 1 - 4:26 pm

  This was my first pickup and I was drawn to it by the practical mix of "clean" and "dirty" space. Its big enough for most tasks, but still easy (and extremely fun!) to drive. Even though it has over 100K miles, it still feels as solid as the day I bought it (used with 15K). Im still amazed at how well it has held its value. When I got it, I found I had a lot of new friends which proves the saying: "The only thing better than having a truck is having a friend with a truck."

  2001 Tacoma Xtra Cab 3.4L 4x4 5-Speed: Best Truck Ever - 2001 Toyota Tacoma
  By lucas2718 - January 13 - 7:33 pm

  My Tacoma, which I bought on September 11, 2001, and named Liberty, interestingly enough, has been the toughest and most reliable vehicle of which I have ever known. It has nearly 170,000 miles, and aside from the usual replacement of tires, filters, and brake pads, the only maintenence Ive ever had done was preventative (timing belt, water pump, drive belts, and spark plugs at 100,000 miles). Aside from that, EVERYTHING is original, including the clutch, which Im hard on, and even the freon for the A/C! Unbelievable! In short, the truck still drives like the day I bought it, it hardly burns a drop of oil, and if this old girl doesnt make it to 250,000 miles, Ill eat my hat!

  Great Toyota - 2001 Toyota Tacoma
  By cst010 - November 12 - 12:10 am

  Purchased new and now have over 170,000 miles. Dealer maintained with the largest expense being a catalytic converted replacement. No other issues. Have not experienced the dash rattle others have spoken about. Is a great truck and hope to get another 170,000 miles out of it. I have always had great experiences with the dealer maintenance departments.

  Great truck - 2001 Toyota Tacoma
  By kevin - October 5 - 1:53 pm

  I bought my double cab tacoma new in June of 2001. It has never been in the shop for a repair. Currently have 85000 miles on it. The seats feel a little flatter than they used to, but other than that, I love it.

  Love my Little Filly! - 2001 Toyota Tacoma
  By Cher - July 17 - 8:00 am

  My Tacoma can go just about anywhere, in any kind of weather! :) Tacomas are the most eye-catching small pickup available, with an outstanding reliability record. I have hauled heavy loads of furniture and appliances with no problems. Makes for an outstanding second vehicle. Not very family oriented though...

  145,000 Miles and Going Strong - 2001 Toyota Tacoma
  By Rod - July 11 - 7:00 am

  Original Owner of my 2001 Tacoma, 145,000 miles no issues at all. Oil changes every 4 to 6,000 miles always used Valvoline 10/30. Live in ABQ so no rust issues. Pre-runner (TRD) with rear locking differential, great for snow and mud. Had some early issues with the front brake rotors but went back to Toyota original parts and issue was resolved. This is a GREAT truck and would recommend it to everyone, they are however very hard to find ($8,000 to $12,000 price tag) now since the 2004 and newer Tacomas are having the accelerator problems with the Toyota recalls. 300,000 mile old school Toyotas will live forever!

  2001, another fine year for a Tacoma - 2001 Toyota Tacoma
  By Jordan S - June 10 - 11:23 am

  I have had this Tacoma for almost a year, it is solid, so far I have noticed that rubber strips around the wheel wells are coming loose, other than that, the body has held up well.

  2001 Tacoma Long-term review - 2001 Toyota Tacoma
  By OKHunter - May 21 - 10:00 am

  Bought the truck new in 01, at a price well below sticker. Added a bed cover, nerf bars, Flowmaster muffler, and most important, a K&N Cold Air Induction kit. The FM and K&N gave it a measurable performance boost. This is the most reliable vehicle Ive ever owned. Has been to the shop once for replacement of fender flares, covered under warranty. Spend a considerable amount of time off-road, truck does everything asked of it, which is a lot. Towed a buddys 24 Crowne ski rig 200 miles when his BMW SUV crapped out, and it pulled like a dream. Ill likely never own another truck, cause this one will probably outlast me.

  Cant buy a better truck - 2001 Toyota Tacoma
  By Mark - May 11 - 4:20 pm

  One solid reliable truck. I had an 89 2dr toyota truck with 180K and only changed a fuel pump. When I upgraded to the 2001 I couldnt be happier. I could use a little more leg room. Ive take it out in some heavy snows and tried to get it stuck, cant do it!
