2007 Toyota Tacoma SR5 review from North America
"Not really a truck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rattle coming from intake air box in engine compartment. There is a TSB for this defect, but dealer refuses to fix under the certified warranty.
Tailgate bent the first time I loaded lumber into the bed. There is also a TSB on this defect, but the dealer refuses to fix this under the certified warranty also.
Truck bounces all over the road with load in the bed; anything over 400 pounds and the truck sounds like it is bottoming out.
General comments?
If you want a truck, do not buy a Tacoma. It will not haul a load or pull a load without damage to the vehicle.
