1999 Toyota Tacoma TRD 4x4 xcab review from North America
"This truck is relentless!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Starter went out at 220,000 miles.
Alternator went out at 190,000 miles.
One of the two tailgate support cables snapped due to rust.
General comments?
I have put 150,000 miles on my Tacoma since purchasing the truck with 100,000 miles on it. I pull an 18 ft Ranger bass boat that weighs nearly 2000 lbs when loaded every weekend with no problems. Several times each year I tow my boat throught the Ozark mountains, pushing my Tacoma to the requiring that I keep the gas pedal to retain speed of 70mph while going up hill.
I always take advantage of off-road opportunities when available and have never been stuck. In snow I have pulled a Chevy Silverado 4x4 out a ditch. The tacoma gives you a sense that you will never be stranded no matter the weather condition or mileage on the vehicle.
