2003 Toyota Tacoma X Cab 4X4 review from North America
"Very reliable, but flawed"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Cheap, annoyingly squeaky dashboard.
Some engine fittings already prematurely rusted.
Recalled for lower ball joints.
General comments?
Bought my first "new" vehicle after several used Toyotas. Seems this Fremont assembled not as quality fitted as previous Japanese assembled Toyotas I've owned.
Power train, suspension, paint finish though are all quality manufactured.
Still great value for money.
