1999 Toyota Tacoma SR-5 review from North America
"A nice small truck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The clutch/transmission has never operated smoothly.
The air conditioner smells very foul.
General comments?
I've got the TRD Off-Road package, and use the 4wd every day. It's a very good 4wd vehicle.
This truck is the best vehicle that I've ever had in the snow, and I've had jeeps, 4wd pickups, etc.
I would opt for the 6 cylinder if I had the choice again. The 2.4L is not strong enough for mountain driving.
