2002 Toyota Tacoma review from North America
"Solid and Expensive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Break light went on after 12 months
Recall for gas line problem
Front brakes wore abnormally and had to be replaced at 19,000 miles Not covered by warranty.
General comments?
Feels solid and great pickup.
Ease of Use isn't nearly as good as the Honda. The clock, for example, can't be read by driver (it's hidden behind the steering wheel) and the door lock toggle isn't intuitive which way is up.
