1998 Toyota Tacoma SR5 Extend Cab review from North America
"The truck drives like a car yet works like a truck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I needed to replace all four shocks at 75,000 miles. A handling problem was immediately corrected.
General comments?
The truck travels on the highway like a car, quiet and low engine revs, however the low seat comfort is terrible. This small truck, even with extra cab has the largest bed space of any small truck. I tow a 19 foot bass boat in fourth gear without any problems, but braking can sometimes be lacking.
