Toyota Tacoma Change Vehicle

"Poor acceleration - somewhat under-powered with the 2.4L engine."

"It is a 2003 and it does drive like a truck. Acceleration if poor compared to the Rav 4 as is handling."

"A little underpowered for towing, but otherwise good. I'd like to see better gas mileage."

"Acceleration is fine. Traction isn't so great. But I understand that Toyota improved it i subsequent Tacoma models."

"On dry pavement this vehicle is a joy to drive. It's acceleration and handling are thrilling and all you need for the street and highway. I also use it for utilitarian purposes,hauling wood and stone, and it pulls its weight. Nevertheless, the concentration of the vehicle's weight is up front which makes wet weather handling relatively poor even with the stock wide tires. Especially in hilly areas this vehicle cannot be safely driven in snow or ice."

"jus great"

"The Toyota Racing Development package makes for a very stiff and bumpy ride."

"Seats need more padding. Ride is punishing and road noise is loud"

"Top value of everything in its class"

"Recalls must be performed or the frame will become unsafe"

"Overall, great value, including resale value. The mileage (18-19 early, now 17, with the 3L V6) is lower than I'd like. A small diesel in the same truck would be fantastic."

"Best small truck I could have bought for the money. It is still holding its value well."

"Alot of solid service from this vehicle. Had no trouble with it since i gouht it 2nd hand."

"very reliable car"

"Good value or the money."

"The truck was expensive compared with other new trucks at the time, but it has been very reliable. At that time Toyota Tacoma's were so popular that there was no negotiating on the price and there were not many available in BC so we didn't have a choice as to color."

"I have always owned full size trucks previously, because I sometimes tow trailers and campers. I occasionally miss the full size bed ant the ability to tow larger items, but I don'w miss the much higher fuel bills. For its size this old Tacoma been a great truck to own. I am thinking about getting a Tundra."

"Reliable truck with good gas mileage"

"The Tacoma doesn't seem to depreciate as quickly as other vehicles. Maybe 10-14% per year with average miles"

"Consider it to be the Best Compact Pickup by far"

"Good urban truck"

"Pric on high side even though I was able to do some bargaining."

"The best thing about this vehicle is how it has held its value. We've been told we could get/offered $15K. It has a manual transmission which you can't get any more. And it's just a solid utility vehicle. Everyone in the neighborhood borrows it when they need a truck."

"Enormous utility for my lifestyle. Great gas mileage. It helps if one doesn't over-expect; I didn't buy this truck for comfort, I bought it for its utility."

"It is 13 years old and all I've ever had to do mechanically was to buy a new set of tires and reline the brakes - once. There's a tiny bit of surface rust at the bottom of the doors and the rear bumper top surface has surface rust ight through the chrome. Other than that the vehicle looks new. Its fast, gets decent mileage for its age and purpose. Most of all it's a TRUCK."

"Popular size and style. Current Tacomas are about the size of the 2003 Tundra. All the pickup styles have gotten too big! Not all of us a farmers and ranchers!"

"Very functional."

"Plenty of room for guests in the back seat"
