2001 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab SR-5 4x4 review from North America
"The truck has turned out to be my ideal vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Paint started to chip off of the front bumper. My dealer did not have an in-house body shop, so they sent me to a local shop. I spent many hours on the telephone and driving to different shops. The first place did horrible work. The second place did good work, but painted it the wrong color. I finally demanded a new bumper and threatened the dealer with a lawsuit. I had other dealer related problems also. The dealer gave me a new bumper off of a new truck and paid for half of a tonneau cover to satisfy me. It took a year, but I'm happy now. The bad thing was that they took the old bumper, which was the wrong shade of silver, and placed it onto the new truck for some unsuspecting buyer.
General comments?
I love the truck. It looks great and handles very well on and off of the road. It has also been very reliable.
