1999 Toyota Tacoma SR5 V6 Ext Cab 4x4 review from North America
"A reliable truck with excellent performance-The Best"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear suspension was a little wimpy when we purchased the truck. (we upgraded the suspension, and no further complaints)
Stock CD player slowly grew more and more sensitive and skips even on the slightest corner or bump. (no biggee, we listen to tapes or radio. CD's on highway hardly skip)
General comments?
We have taken this truck to our mechanic for regular maintenance. Truck has never left us stranded. We can always tell when something is going bad before it does and we get it fixed right away. This truck was fairly pricey, but worth every penny. Still receive compliments on it to this day. If you treat these trucks with respect, they will last forever. We have quite a bit of miles on it, and even our mechanic is amazed at how "young and fresh" it still looks and acts. Well put together and a nice solid unit. Gas mileage in our V6 is about 24 MPG.
