2000 Toyota Tacoma SR5 XCAB Prerunner review from North America
"Stock, right out of the box, this is the best truck on the market hands down."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My differential gasket started leaking at approx. 30,000.
Also too much fading has occurred in the headlight lens plastic, however hardly any to the rubber trim i.e. around windows.
Bumpers too week for "parking by touch" in a tight situation. The front bumper bends down to easy, the chrome rear bumper dents, with no damage to any other vehicle encountered. (I live in San Francisco).
The seats are a joke, new ones on order at 55,000 miles; not from Toyota this time!
General comments?
After some after market seats this truck is awesome! Really, I've owned plenty of vehicles and the quality of the working parts is much better than expected; even for a Toyota!
I am very happy with my purchase, which was a dealer demo (highly recommended).
The engine, (2.7) is better than I even need. Acceleration is always there when I need it, and with an exahst its sublime.
