  Best truck on road - 2008 Toyota Tacoma
  By Kristen Ohler - September 2 - 11:43 am

  I owned a 1990 2 wheel drive Toyota extra cab for 18 years. Best vehicle I ever owned. I sold it with over 300,000 miles on it. I wanted a 4 wheel drive new p/u. I love this pick up more than any vehicle I have ever owned or driven. It is a fast and good looking p/u. I love the stereo system/cd player. It has a lot of pick up and contrary to reports Ive read my pick up is very quiet. Ive had no problems at all in the 14 months Ive owned it. Although the running boards look great, they are in the way trying to get into and out of the p/u. I would never own any other kind of mid- sized truck besides the Toyota. To me it is the best truck on the road. Bar none!

  Good not Great - 2008 Toyota Tacoma
  By Vantrader - May 10 - 1:10 am

  Overall, a good truck, but not great like Id thought it would be. Anti- lock brake system makes a "doosh!" sound when the vehicle is initially started and begins to move. Brought it to the dealership and was told it was the brake system doing a "self test", hmmmm. Annoying more than anything else as it was a 30k vehicle. Find myself keeping the tranny in D4 around town as it is quick to upshift into the highway gear but slow to downshift. Should have gotten the limited slip option as it slips pretty easy in loose gravel or greasy hard-top after a rain. Have not towed with it yet but have used the bed and it performed well.

  By Me - April 23 - 10:00 am

  I bought this truck and it only had 15,500 miles on it and i love it. It is very stylish and their are so many great add-ons that you can buy for it. I love it being that its not to rednecky like the other trucks. It has class.

  Did I get a lemon? - 2008 Toyota Tacoma
  By Jim - March 27 - 4:03 am

  Ive been looking forward to getting this truck for some time. I am pleased with a lot of it except the automatic transmission. Been told that Toyota is "looking at the problem". It hangs at 1000 and 2000 Rpms - and the engine continues to race harder and harder but it doesnt pick up speed or shift. Very disappointing.

  Great Truck! - 2008 Toyota Tacoma
  By Kyle - March 8 - 7:56 am

  Just bought this to replace my 01 Jeep Cherokee Sport. While it has the TRD Off Road package, it still rides better than the Cherokee did. I love it so far and cant see that that changing anytime soon.

  Best truck I ever owned - 2008 Toyota Tacoma
  By Cody - February 23 - 5:46 pm

  I got this truck about a week ago after being on deployment in Afghanistan for around 7 months and am loving every second with it. Its fun to drive, and surprisingly good on gas. Its a gorgeous truck, and I have gotten many compliments on it. I got the TRD Sport Package, and the added hood scoop gives the truck a tough, offroad look. The 4 wheel drive is more than capable, and it rides really well on the street. The included Bilstein Suspension, makes potholes and bumps feel pretty much non existent. I dont think I could be more pleased with it, and look forward to driving it for 10 or more years, since of course it is a Toyota.

  Its a Truck - 2008 Toyota Tacoma
  By King Zhong - December 7 - 1:10 pm

  I bought the truck in Greenville, SC. Moved 2 kayaks, boating & camping gear, coolers, etc., from our van into the truck at the dealership. My son and I headed off into the NC mountains in search of whitewater. The 4x4 system worked great. The truck had enough room for our 2 week trip. The double doors made the Access cab useful. The cab has great storage areas.

  Its HUGE!! - 2008 Toyota Tacoma
  By nancyk - November 1 - 7:00 pm

  Owned a Tacoma extra cab previously. Bought quad cab site unseen- its enormous! Toyota blew up Tacoma like a balloon. Love the power and room, but feel like Im driving a dump truck. 57 y/o lady and its much more truck than expected. Hear the vibration that others note. Drove the same model at dealer, and vibration was worse than mine. Everything else is usual Toyota quality. 23mpg hwy-comfy/roomy for husband, me & dog on long trips. We have trouble with visibility on right side. Gorgeous and feels very safe- would love to have had this when kids were young. Hope I get used to the size (mammoth- not the Tacoma Im used to!) and hope to keep for many years as with other models weve owned.

  My Little Red Truck - 2008 Toyota Tacoma
  By Becki - October 16 - 12:56 am

  This is an awesome truck. The new body style is very handsome. I also like that the truck is bigger than before. Fuel mileage is wonderful, especially due to gas prices these days. The dashboard is very nice in appearance & functioning. The interior is quite roomy, and comfortable. The truck handles well and responds nicely when need be. We purchased the LWB and it is very handsome on the truck. The ride is like you are in a cadillac. This is the only vehicle Ive ever had that has the audio controls on the steering wheel and I must say thats a good place for them. I most of all enjoy the fact that I can sit in the drivers seat and reach whatever I need without having to stretch.
