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.

  toyota truck - 2001 Toyota Tacoma
  By Biker - December 9 - 2:00 am

  very good reliability, it feels a little cheap compared to american builders. 4 wheel drive system works very good. The body could be stronger and seats should have more support and comfort for us big guys.

  Toyota for Life - 2001 Toyota Tacoma
  By Jason Wheat - November 26 - 1:36 am

  This is the third toyota truck I have owned. Had my needs for room and transmission types not have changed I would still have the first one. I have been extremely pleased with every one. Not once have I had to put it in the shop. Tacomas have excellent street reputations among sensible drivers looking for quality trucks.

  4 Door Taco Driven Hard - 2001 Toyota Tacoma
  By Kris - November 11 - 7:50 pm

  Most versatile vehicle Ive ever owned!! Huge back seat for a mid-size truck. Im 6 tall and I fit back there. Very, very reliable!!! I abuse this truck and it takes every bit of it. 118,000 miles only work done is new brake pads, tires, and o2 sensors. Very usable truck. I drive it on the highway every day, go off-road on weekends, and tow my boat regularly. Great truck period.

  I LOVE WHAT YOU FOR ME.... TOYOTA - 2001 Toyota Tacoma
  By KuTeAzn1 - October 4 - 2:00 am

  I use this truck for everything... Daily driving... work and fun... I am a big time outdoors person... So I decided to lift the truck and change the suspension... because it came stock with the Tokiko shocks... Put Sway-A-Ways in the front and Blistens 5100 in the back and this thing is great off road... never had problems with it at all... Also upgraded the stock radio and cd to a 7" DVD/CD Player and it is great on long trips...

  Toyotas Fly - 2001 Toyota Tacoma
  By heavy weight - August 26 - 2:00 am

  This was actually my dads truck. He was in a serious accident, he flew about 100 yards off a canyon.He cleared oak trees. (to tell how high in the air he was) The truck was totalled beyond repair but the inside of the cab was undamaged. If he had been in any other kind of truck he would be dead!

  Best truck to date for ownership - 2001 Toyota Tacoma
  By Southerngator - July 20 - 9:00 am

  Fun truck to drive, great gas mileage for the horse power to weight ratio w/ the 2.7 four cylinder engine. Wife would love to steal it from me if she had the chance! Best investment for the reliability & quality, only had to change out the org. set tires w/ normal maintenance. I purchased the truck second hand from the local dealer, (after searching the web), got a great deal! Third door would have been nice addition, missing fm my model, but I still would recommend it!

  Red Toy - 2001 Toyota Tacoma
  By First Time Owner - May 10 - 2:00 am

  I have been very pleased with my Tacoma 2001 Prerunner Extra Cab 2.7 liter 4cyl. 2wd. Have had some problems all under warranty and fixed to date, rattle in the dash was the most annoying found there to be a service bulletin on this and had it repaired turned out be the defroster box under the dash on the passengers side had to tear apart dash insulate it and put new defroster box in and some foam padding problem taken care of. have had both seatbelts replaced and a big problem after just 6,000 miles somthing with the bushings were worn in the front and it caused premature wear on one of the tires which was replaced after alot of grief.

  Best truck money can buy - 2001 Toyota Tacoma
  By Best truck out there - January 13 - 6:30 am

  I have drove tacomas all my life and this is the best to date. I do a lot of 4 wheelin and this truck will beat any jeep. I never have to worry about anything mechanical, ever. This truck is solid. I have big tires and a lift and it still runs strong at 103,000 miles on the clock. I had a chevy truck that was a pile of junk at 100,000. You cant even compare the two. Toyota is in a league of its own. I plan on driving this truck for decades to come. Great truck.

  Disappointed. First and last Toyota. :( - 2001 Toyota Tacoma
  By 909george - January 1 - 2:00 am

  Purchased at 18 sold at 19 years old. Toyota needs to learn a lot from these trucks. Underpowered gas hog comes to mind. Dash rattles and poor dealer service are the norm. Truck is overpriced and overated. Constant small "non toyota-like" problems occur. Water gets in lamps and windows. Fix your mistakes Toyota.
