Toyota Tacoma

"Added a TRD Supercharger to get increased mileage and acceleration."

"Very Peppy when needing to pass and maneuver"

"This is a 4 cylinder and has no pick-up, using the cruise control on the highway causes the engine to over work do to the hilly nature of my area."

"I choose the bigger engine for power, and its acceleration is fantastic. The gas mileage sucks. Also, when carrying any weight it looses all power. Today, big trucks get better gas mileage than I do and can carry much more."

"peppy motor, fun to handle on short trips"

"Four-cylinder engine is grossly under powered for this vehicle. Acceleration from a stop is slow and unpredictable."

"Good: smooth power and shifting bad: numb handling"

"Not much power in my model but this was a conscious choice in order to get optimal mpg in a pick up"

"This is the worst, roughest riding vehicle of all of my cars."

"A 6-cylinder would have been better for acceleration and load carrying."

"Although only a six cylinder I've used it to pull a dual-axle trailer 600 miles at highway speeds with no adverse affect. The truck just keeps on going."

"2001 vehicle and have had very few issues after 179,000 miles. Radio and clock no longer work but that is to be expected. For a 4 cyl it does fine getting on the freeway. Only issue is the mph (19) and the fact I am constantly being asked to assist in house moves."

"Good acceleration"

"Great 4WD performance off road."

"I use the truck to haul product for outdoor landscape projects. with a manual transmission, I have adequate power control and acceleration when needed"

"Even after 17 years the Tacoma still has good acceleration from the V-6. Handling is good for a truck - it's very easy to maneuver in traffic and in a crowded parking lot."

"The engine still has no issue. It handles well, and it accelerates as it did when i first got."

"Great acceleration. Handling is very good for a truck"

"Handles well with light, or heavy loads. Remains stable in buffeting winds. Engine adequate for heavy loads, but not enough H.P. when entering onto heavy Interstate traffic, even without a load. The 4 cylinder engine is a bit too small."

"It is a 5 speed manual transmission and has excellent acceleration It holds the road well and is comfortable on the highway."

"This truck is a 4 cylinder and has no problem on hill or with a full load. However, acceleration is nonexistent. Handling is terrible due to the tire selection on this truck. It literally bounces on the road and a pot hole could throw you into the next lane."

"Acceleration slow. Handling good. Dependable no major repairs"

"This is a small truck and does ride like a truck. Still the ride is not too harsh. I've taken this truck on numerous drives of over 500 miles in a day. I even used this truck to pull a dual-axle rental trailer 600 miles when moving. The truck was able to handle the move without difficulty."

"For a 2001 Tacoma it's got some get up and go and handles well."

"acceleration is acceptable for the size of engine, handling is very good"

"it bounces a lot the ride is rough and does not accelerate good at all."

"Easy to get in and out."

"Cab is noise. Can hear the radio very well."

"Good seats for 380,000kms. Reasonable ride, radio died after 5 or 6 years but was ok when it did work, cruise is accurate, extremely reliable and durable, suitable fuel consumption (2.4 engine)."

"It could use leather seats, seat heaters and coolers and more sound deadening."

"This truck has a very stiff suspension and rides accordingly, very rough! Interior is very basic. Lots of tire noise."

"It has a harsh ride. Most bumps feel like jolts. It is a truck."

"The 2001 Toyota Tacoma SR5 Extracab features the roughest ride of any vehicle ever ridden in."

"Seats should be higher."

"It's a truck. You sit more upright than in a sedan but that is more comfortable to me. It's not a Mercedes but then I don't expect it to be. It gets the job done reliably."

"The Tacoma interior has last quite long. The seats are still comfortable. I've had no issue with the interior."

"The seats are uncomfortable on a long ride."

"The truck rides rough."

"Toyota should make these seats adjustable for a smaller person, back, forward, up, down, etc."

"The truck is awkward to enter. You climb up and duck to get into the seat. Once in you're ok. The ride is rough and noisy on a gravel road, lots of bouncing. It is truck and when I need to haul stuff and when the weather is bad I am glad to have the 4 wheel drive and low transfer case. The 4 cylinder automatic is great on long trips getting 23 mpg. So a trade off."

"This is the roughest riding vehicle I ever drove."

"Very comfortable seats, bumpy ride, but it is a truck. Biggest complaint is noise. It is a very noisy, loud truck at any speed over 50mph. Very annoying."

"the truck is uncomfortable to ride in it has a bench seat you can not adjust it at all"

"Be sure to rust check the frame, rusting problem, excellent value."

"Toyota'sl over all depenablity"

"I never had aproblem from day one."

"It's lasted 15+ years and still looks and drives really well."

"I bought my Tacoma truck new in 2001. It has been extremely reliable and virtually trouble free over the last 16 years. A great investment!"

"Bought vehicle used from an acquaintance. Vehicle had very low miles and was a bargain. Never regretted decision. Have used truck to pull a 16 foot rental trailer from Houston to Oklahoma. Never had a problem."

"no major problems in the 13+ years I have owned it. Great truck!"

"Purchased through Costco's automobile purchase program, which worked VERY well."

"You have a car for a long time, never give me any problems."

"This truck has been almost problem free for almost 16 years. Only a few small items have had to be replaced."

"It is dependable again a nb do again"

"It has been one of the best vehicles I have ever owned, especially in terms of how little maintenance it has ever required, even now that it has well over 100,000 miles on it."

"This was a used car at a very good price, given that these types of pickup trucks are fairly rare in this area. It a robust vehicule that is very versatile."

"The Tacoma may not be the best handling and most comfortable of cars -- but it is tough. I take it off roading through the mountains, and it continues to be incredibly reliable."

"I have not had any issues with the engine. The downside is the vehicle is starting to rust, but it's lasted a long time."

"Purchased used and it has been well worth the money. Very happy with it overall."

"value"

"I have poeple all the time asking me to sell them this truck. I have only had a couple of problems with this truck since it was new. Very reliable and paid off for 15 years thats value."

"The truck looks new and is 17 years old It seems it’s going to last forever"

"The 2001 Toyota Tacoma has held a high resale price for many years, better than any other vehicle that we have owned."

"It has 164000 miles and has cost very little in the way of repair or replace cost. Fuel mileage could be better for small truck."

"Still running great at almost 200000 miles, with few maintenance costs."

"It's a 17 year old car with aver 285,000 miles that still runs great with little to no repairs."

"This truck just keeps going & going. I bought it new and have gotten more than my money's worth after 17 years. No real problems with it, just basic maintenance keeps it running well."

"Has stood the test of time! No mechanical problems at all. Only problem is battery light stays illuminated & not error code shows up when put on a scope"

"17 years and still going strong. Does what I need it to do."

"this truck has been very reliable"

"I have 192000 miles with no problems except for the front end failure that costed $3000 to repair. all other costs are normal maintenance. I am very happy with this truck"

"Best quality vehicle I have ever owned."

"The price is very fair for how good it performs and how reliable it has been. Only a couple little things have had to be repaired over the span of 16 years and a quarter million miles"

"It's got 180000 miles on it and it runs like a top. No major repairs, just new tires and battery. I hope it runs forever."

"Real work horse. It just keeps going with a minimum of upkeep. Dependable. Only problem not much power when fully loaded perhaps a v6 if carrying heavy loads. Would buy it again. No major repairs and have over 170000 miles."

"Maintenance costs have been limited to oil and filter changes, brake pads and rotors."
