  Completely Over-rated - 2003 Toyota Tacoma
  By mhan - December 15 - 2:00 am

  Within two weeks a puddle collected under the driver side carpets. This truck looks rugged but is built like a Coke can. Its basically a raised Corolla with 4 wheel drive. Chintsy interior - cheap plastic controls, door handles, center console and lousy sounding 6 spkr CD stereo. Being built in Fremont, CA is part of the downfall. They couldnt even include a lock on the gas lids. This truck is way too expensive with little real value.

  Boy toy that doubles as family vehicle - 2003 Toyota Tacoma
  By goatboy - November 28 - 10:00 am

  Very well built truck. The pros in my opinion: super reliable, great built quality, very fun to drive, the look of 4x4 without the downsides (bad mileage, maintenance, insurance). A great poser 4x4 look/feel for yuppies wholl never leave concrete. I get up every day and enjoy driving this truck, its just fun to drive. Note: It also has a lot of room in the backseat compared to other extended cab full-size trucks. The cons: short wheel base makes for bouncy ride, its a smaller interior, and pretty spartan inside. Overall Im happy with this truck and it also works for throwing the kiddos in the back- seat.

  Good looking, Stiff ride, Over Priced - 2003 Toyota Tacoma
  By Motaco - November 28 - 10:00 am

  Good strong V6. Good exterior design, possibly exellent reliability. Overpriced. Seats are cheap and uncomfotable. Designed by midgets. Very uncomfortable for a midsized man. steering wheel, Shift lever, gas and break pedals are not well placed. The ride is too stiff and the seats are not cushioned well, bumpy on freeway. The steering is is too hard + poor positioning making it laboring to turn. Uncomfortable long distance ride. Occational rattling noise in the dash board area (nothing new here). Stupid clock position. High wind noise. Worthless cruise control: bad, bad location and jack up the speed when accelerate.

  Great Small Truck - 2003 Toyota Tacoma
  By Pilgrim - November 22 - 2:00 am

  For a small truck this is really comfortable to drive and easy to get into for large people. Your passengers are comfortable and at ease while riding in this truck.

  Great Truck - 2003 Toyota Tacoma
  By dennis - November 21 - 3:36 pm

  I have owned this vehicle for over two years. I bought it for myself, but it has now become my daughters primary vehicle. I feel good knowing that she is in a safe vehicle that is unlikely to cause problems for her. Whenever I take it in for routine service the techs comment on how good of shape it is in mechanically.

  Surprising MPG - 2003 Toyota Tacoma
  By John - November 20 - 4:10 pm

  Just purchased a 2003 Tacoma Prerunner 4x2 SR5, 2.47L. I was pleasantly surprised that on a trip from Boise, Idaho to Lompoc, CA I averaged 23.5 mpg using the cruise control as much as possible and the Power ECT on long uphill grades.

  Typical Toyota - 2003 Toyota Tacoma
  By R. P. Petersen - October 16 - 10:00 am

  This is my 9th Toyota purchase and the quality and appearance is second to none. I briefly owned a Honda Pilot and with less than a year ownership I was more than glad to rid myself of it. Regardless what others say about the Honda product Toyota is still head and shoulders above them. Attention to detail, reliability and resale value will keep me a Toyota customer for quite some time. Good job Toyota!

  long time toyota owner - 2003 Toyota Tacoma
  By altoona - September 18 - 10:00 am

  Over all it is ok for the money. Drive train is very noisy at slow speeds or when climbing hills. I have owned toyota trucks for many years and would not even consider any other type of maker. I would like to have had a clock somewhere on the dash.

  One tough little truck. - 2003 Toyota Tacoma
  By autow - September 4 - 10:00 am

  I traded an 02 tundra 4x4 for this 03 tacoma dbl cab 4x4 w/trd and i couldnt be any happier with my decision. It fits me a little better than the tundra but i do miss the v8 pwr. The truck has plenty of room and my wife can drive it much easier than the tundra. I have always been a toyota truck person and will continue to be in the future. Only 1 issue i have with this truck is that it does need a bigger v6 with at least 225-250 h.p.
