1999 Toyota Tacoma TRD review from North America
"Great truck, but loosened up a little to quickly"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Truck has loosened up substaintially, there are bad rattles in the cab expecially in the dashboard.
Clutch wear seems to be premature, I replaced the 1st clutch at 59,000 miles.
Front bumper is extremely weak.
The rack in the steering has already been replaced.
General comments?
Overall the truck is a great package.
The front springs on the TR D's is a little to soft, tends to bottom easily.
The Tacoma is also geared a little to high in the four cylinder models.
