Absolutely no problems at 8500 miles, truck is still just like new.
Excellent economy 4x4 truck. 4 cylinder has plenty of pep, gets good MPG with the smooth and easy to shift 5 speed manual. Fit and finish on the truck are the best I have seen on a new vehicle, everything has a quality feel to it. Extremely satisfied with this truck. A little more expensive than the domestic brands, but as I found you really do get what you pay for. Looking at resale, it also looks to be a wise investment compared to other trucks.
I completely agree with this review. My uncle bought a 2005 Tacoma V6 (one of the first builds of the new design), and has since put 90,000 miles on it.
I drive it every few days, and it still drives like it is new, and with the TRD Sport package and hood scoop, it looks pretty mean.
It also averages 23 mpg, which is great for a truck with this much power.
My 2005 Tacoma just hit 30,000 miles a few days ago and it still runs like new. I still get compliments on the looks, also have TRD Sport Pkg with hood scope.
The only thing I disagree with on this review is the mileage. Dude if your truck only has 8,500 miles on it, then it is still new.
I wrote the original review and yes although it is still new at 8500 miles, there have been no problems to report with it. No initial problems is great, and gives me confidence in the truck lasting a long time. My previous truck, a 2002 Ranger, had a multitude of annoying problems even before it hit 8500 miles that made it feel not-so-new very quickly. As hard as I would have liked to have bought another "domestic" name truck, I'm glad I made the switch to a Toyota thus far. Of course time tells all :)
I agree with most comments: But I could not get 23 miles per gallon if it fell off a cliff. Also, it is the noisiest truck I have owned. Very disappointing.
