2003 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab review from North America
"High marks with future design considerations"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
What a vehicle, I couldn't be happier. I'm not easy with my vehicles, but this one can handle me the best. It drives like a car, feels like a truck, does what I ask of it. Also agree with other comments from Tacoma owners-regarding comfort- I'm 6'4" approx 220lbs, and the front seats need more support, a higher and firmer back, and possible elevated seat from floor position- which means possibly heightening the ceiling. Fuel economy could be better- waiting for the hybrid model- will a diesel be an offered choice someday? brake pads in the front need to be stiffer-wear+ stopping distance- Toyota, I am otherwise very pleased!
