Overview & Reviews

The 1999 Toyota Tacoma gets new front seat belt pre-tensioners and force limiters. Optional on Xtra Cab models is an AM/FM four-speaker CD audio system while 4x4s get 15-by-7-inch steel wheels. The PreRunner adds a regular cab option to its model mix. Natural White, Imperial Jade Mica and Horizon Blue Metallic replace White, Copper Canyon Mica, Evergreen Pearl and Cool Steel Metallic as color options.

• Like most Toyotas, the price rises quickly once you start adding options that most truck buyers would require on even a basic truck.

  Best Truck for the Money - 1999 Toyota Tacoma
  By Pete Philippis - March 2 - 10:00 am

  I have 110,000 miles on this truck original owner. Ive done nothing except oil change, tires, and changed the front brakes (original clutch). Rock Solid and I do not drive or treat this truck kindly. It has many dents and dings but it gets me from point A to B without ever letting me down. Highly recommend. F150 cant touch this truck.

  Bullet Proof 1/4 ton - 1999 Toyota Tacoma
  By tacomasta - January 21 - 3:53 pm

  Its like owning a half ton that gets 30 mpg on a good day and can parallel park better than some cars. Doesnt get stuck (within reason). If you can fit it in the bed then you can carry it. This is a rock solid reliable truck, just change the oil every 5000 or so and youre set.

  Great Reliable Truck - But Dull to Drive - 1999 Toyota Tacoma
  By handsomerob1 - October 21 - 7:59 pm

  I bought this truck brand new 15 years ago and now have 72,000 miles - and shes a garage queen. Finally replaced the original tires at 66,000 and still on the original brake pads! Shocks got squishy early on so replaced them with KYBs at 51,000. The only repeat problem is with the Idle Air Control ("IAC") valve which tends to go out on these trucks. I replaced it once and now need to replace it again. The part is about $350 at Toyota and, with a couple hours work, I can install it myself. This is a great looking truck - white with the TRD package - but like most Toyotas, it drives with all the personality of a dial tone. Just plain dull, like you might as well be driving a Camry.

  prerunner - 1999 Toyota Tacoma
  By delawaredrew - April 2 - 10:00 am

  Great truck , but has persistent shake at highway speeds. No work has ever solved it. Still hauls loads, and runs reliably. Sucks on bumps until its moving fast (70 mph +) Never left me stranded in 80000 miles

  Best Truck on the Market - 1999 Toyota Tacoma
  By redstar24 - February 5 - 10:00 am

  Great truck, I havent put any money into since Ive owned it, other than oil changes. I have it serviced by Waite Toyota in Watertown, NY. Unbelieveable service Dept., I think finding a dealer like this makes owning a Toyota the please that it is. Ive averaged 22 MPG with this truck, which is good considering I have 265/75-15s for tires.

  My Yoda may last forever - 1999 Toyota Tacoma
  By NAgreenComa - December 10 - 7:23 am

  I bought yoda new in 1999. Aside from a major accident in 2007 ($16,000 in repairs), all I have done is routine maintenance and I am at 135,000 mi. Regular oil changes at every 5k and new breaks at 90k. I dont have a 4x4, but I take it muddin sometimes, and it makes we work hard to get it stuck (using the winch is half the fun). Aside from its stunning good looks and how fun it is to drive, it is extremely reliable. It always starts on the first turn, even in the cold.

  Great Little Truck - 1999 Toyota Tacoma
  By Deadgirl1 - October 14 - 7:40 pm

  I bought this truck in 2002 used w/ 36,000 miles. Its been a very reliable truck. I have but over 120,000 miles on it and Ive only had to replace the brakes, an O2 sensor, and the battery. Everything else has held up and it still runs great. I used to commute over 600 miles on weekends and the truck never gave me any problems. Great gas mileage for a pickup and does well in winter weather despite having no weight in the back. I would buy this truck again in an instant!

  99 PreRunner Taco - 1999 Toyota Tacoma
  By Jesse A - October 13 - 3:43 am

  I bought this Tacoma thinking I would only use it a few years but this baby with the 2.7L motor is rock solid! I did add Bilsteins/headers/Cat-Back exhaust and this baby purrs. The biggest plus on this vehicle is that its reliable and keeps on going. My only wish is that more aftermarket items would be available for the 4 cyl. Right now I have 150k on mine and it runs like it was brand new. Great vehicle and worth every penny I paid for it.

  Excellent!! - 1999 Toyota Tacoma
  By Heathcoat - May 25 - 2:00 am

  I bought this truck because I knew that Toyota was very reliable and I wanted a truck. I am very pleased with its performance so far! I have put almost 70,000 miles on it, and have not had any problems with it thus far!
