1997 Toyota Tacoma LX X-Cab review from North America
"Dependable truck that loves gas and leaves you with a sore back"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No major problems with the truck.
Brake were replaced at 60,000.
General comments?
This was the most uncomfortable truck I have ever been in. Toyota seats are like rocks. I could not drive in it for more than 15 minutes before it would hurt my back.Tacoma's do not ride very well.
The gas mileage stunk I was getting about 12 miles to the gallon.
This truck was very dependable, but it had a poor ride and gas mileage.
