2003 Toyota Tacoma SR5 review from North America
"Unacceptable level of annoying rattles, we're very disappointed in our 4th and last Toyota"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The dashboard rattles in several places.
The seatbelt connection or the arm that holds the female end of the connection clicks with every bump or curve in the road. We have had both parts (the seatbelt and the separate connection part) replaced and this has not remedied the problem.
General comments?
Uncomfortable on long trips.
Poor gas mileage. 20 mpg at best.
Nice power in the V6 model.
