Great car
|
Solid and reliable car. Comfort is
exceptional. Just returned from
vacation, driving 18 hours straight
with 5 people. Rear seat comfort is as
good as front. Averaged 30 mpg.

A true trouble free car that is a
delight to drive. If you want to get
away from a stop sign fast, this is the
car for you. It has good looks and good
fuel edonomy.

Larger than a Lexus ES300. This car
is a dream. Everything fits together
perfectly (made in Kentucky, btw). No
problems in the 89000 miles on my
car. Still runs like new.

Avalon built in USA - No good
|
This Avalon was
built in Kentucky with good 'ol union
labor...and it shows! The dealer
delivered the vehicle with the rear
middle seat belt BEHIND the rear seat
backrest! The front seat belts have to
manually
feed back into their slots.
The front armrest was replaced
twice under waranty. My wife was
injured by
the parking brake foot lever when she
was in a minor accident ? her shin bode
hit the peddle which bruisded the bone.
The drive train sometimes jerks in stop
'n go traffic or
taking off from a dead stop.
Finally, the tire noise is so bad...rear
seat occupant ALWAYS complain about the
noise! What a lousy car for $28 grand!!

we brought this used with 37K miles
from toyota dealer. Car's paint is
terrible, looks like mircobubble on the
top. Paint chip easily.
Had to replace strut plate at 50K miles
at $900.
trunk leak water due to bad gasket in
tail lamp.
air conditioner had to be recharged
last week at 65K,
car drives great, but everything sucks.

I love my AVALON
|
I love this car and would have to say
that bringing it home reminds me of
when my father brought home his
ultimate car- a 1962 Cadillac(the one
with the big fins)- he was so thrilled
and excited and so am I. It is
stylish, posh, and comfortable as well
as practical and fun to drive. The
ride is like floating on a cloud with
no sound. It drives like a dream and
all you hear inside is the great sound
system. This is my ultimate car and
will probably be my last car as I plan
on keeping it for a long time.

What a car!
|
I never really thought that we would
be able to afford a car as luxurious
as the Toyota Avalon. Well, it turns
out we can, although the car we
bought was pre-owned. The
amenities in this car are fabulous. It
has everthing, at a price that was
truely affordable. I hope that we
continue to be as happy with it as we
are now.

Muy Bien!

My 98' xls is the best car i have ever
invested in. I enjoy the performance
the most by far. I have taken it to
speeds exceeding 140 mph and it rode
great! i floor it everywhere i go and
it drives the same as the day i bought
it. It has 110,000 miles and the only
problem i had was the front strut
towers. I think thats from the off road
adventures.

The car is spacious reliable and well
built, yet the styling is plain. I
dont like the buick style bench seat.
But the back is spacious and the car
is of good quality. good trunk space.

Toyota Losing Touch
|
This was my 4th Toyota, and a real
dog. Extremely poor design, fit and
finish. Interior body panels coming
apart (have never seen that in any
vehicle). Heavy driver side door
pulled the hinge screw off the
chassis! Brake's failed at 30,000
miles. etc. etc. Also avoid Montclair
Acura, they had the gall to ask for
$880 for a set of 4 tires!

Avalon: Like Cruisin' on Catalina
|
I really enjoy the Avalon. This car gets a solid 25 mpg without sacrificing
performance. I can turn off overdrive and step on it going up mountain
passes and around slower traffic and the V-6 responds really well. The ride
is smooth and the interior sits six adults comfortably. I've taken road-trips
with four other adults without any complaints about space or comfort. The
only problem I've had is that the brakes have a pernicious squeal on this
model that was not corrected by the new brake pads that the dealer
installed. I think that this was corrected on later models. Overall, I think my
Avalon is an excellent cruising sedan.

The Good and Bad... mostly Good
|
This car excels in being reliable, dependable, and performance. It has good visibility with no measurable blind spots. Seats seem to be made for smaller framed people. Feels like I'm sitting on a stool. Right elbow doesn't reach the armrest in the drivers position. I rated the quality a 7, even though I think the engine quality is excellent, the exterior quality of the metal is weak. A slight tap on the panels will create a dent.

Great car bad seats
|
I have enjoyed my Toyota Avalon 98 for a couple months, and then I discovered that the seats are getting progressively less comfortable. Finaly, I was in pain. I opened the seat to find a steel seat pan underneeth the foam. My bottom was hitting the edge of the steel.

In love with this car
|
I bought my 99 Avalon XLS for $800 with 214,000 miles and put about 15,000 on it in a year and I love it. I have only replaced the front strut mounts (common issue) and front sway bar links and bushings (parts are $48 all together) amongst regular maintenance items. The interior is all leather (door panels and all) and I always keep it clean because it's so good looking clean. It has a soft ride at all speeds, handles incredibly well for having such a soft ride, accelerates pretty strong (1MZFE V6 non-VVT) and the trans is also strong, still shifting like new at 232,000 miles. For entertainment it has the 7 speaker Harman-Motive system. 2 tweeters, 4 mids and 1 8" package tray mounted woofer and I believe all that is also on a factory amp. I upgraded all that with a JVC touch screen, Cerwin-Vega tweeters (I added two in the back), JBL mids, Audio Pipe crossovers, and a Power Acoustik 15" sub on 3200 watts. All easy to install and the car has well laid out audio placement. Cold AC and hot heat with great MPG. The only downside is you will get really attached to it and you won't be able to come up with a good reason to get a new car. Parts are plentiful and very affordable.

Forever friend

I bought my 1999 Toyota Avalon Platinum XLS in 2006.It had 99000 miles on it and this did not cause me alarm since I have had a Toyota Camry before.My Toyota Avalon now has 187,000 miles on it and is still running strong!I have had to put routine maintenence items, such as brakes, battery, tires, but other than that it is running like the day I bought it.I am looking at trading it off for something newer, not because I need to, just maybe wanting something newer.Trouble I am having is when I test drive other vehicles I am comparing it to my Avalon, so far all the "competitors" have lost. Gas mileage is still 24/28 hwy.Excellent choice and great car!

Too Reliable?
|
Incredible car! Soft ride, low maintenance, good mileage. Only complaint - after 13 yrs of a gray 86 Camry and 11 yrs of this silver 99 Avalon, I feel the need for a change. Could be midlife issues. I need something bright and irresponsible. But seriously, GREAT CAR! Fits all sizes of people and luggage. Surprisingly good mileage for its size and comfort and I highly recommend it. That's what makes it hard for me to give up.

Excellent car
|
Purchased with ~98,000 miles on it, put ~20,000 more on it over two years. In that time, I had no mechanical problems with it at all- the car might as well have been new. It's not the most exciting car to drive- I nicknamed mine the 'boringmobile'. Pros: extremely reliable, good mileage, Cons: suspension feels a little mushy and the handling is only adequate. But it's a sedan, not a sports car, so that's okay. Unfortunately, the car was totaled in a collision with a Chevy Tahoe. The Toyota engineering team does good work, I was not injured (nor was anyone in the Tahoe). I start looking for another Avalon this weekend.

So good, you will be bored...

There is no doubt this is an incredible vehicle. It is smooth, reliable and fast (for a daddy sedan). It has many creature comforts and even gets 26 mpg. hwy consistently on 87oct. I drive a Platinum Ed. XLS and mile for mile this car has been the best used vehicle I have purchased (read- least expensive to maintain for the ride quality). Purchased in late 08 for 5900- w/113k miles. Clean as a whistle this is proving to be quite the deal. The mid-life crises sport coup-loving man bemoans the dull exterior looks and cushy drive. This inner teen wants to buy an RSX or TC, but I can not justify selling such a great car. The practical man in me loves every boring bit of this machine.

Avalon's a Keeper
|
Bought this car for my wife (5k-10k miles/year). Now it's my commuter car (25k+ per year; mostly highway but hard-driving miles). Getting high 20's gas mileage. Comfortable, very reliable, very stable (once I had struts & strut mounts replaced) - even at 70-85 mph. Perfect size (smaller than new Avalons) - small enough to get in & out wherever I need to go, big enough to be comfortable & feel safe. Currently 125k miles; I expect 200k+. The car is worth more to me than trade value. Back seat not huge, but not cramped. Large trunk. Strut mounts were the only significant non-wear repairs I have made. If you can buy a well-maintained one for cheap, do it. It will hold up.

Great Vehicle
|
Great and reliable vehicle. I drive 40k miles per year and only mechanical issue was to replace a starter once. I expect to get another 150k miles. One negative is I have had to replace the struts twice . I wish I had seen this page years ago as I had front noise for years that turned out to be the front strut holder that I finally had diagnosed and replace. Also the only safety issue is that the vehicle does not require you to put it in park first before you remove the key so that the vehicle could roll if you forget to put it in the park position.

I'm 6'7", needed lots of head and leg room, and got it the Avalon. It has all the get up and go I ever needed. Now that it's broken in at 140,000 miles, it gets 30 mpg on the highway; what a nice surprise. Maintenance costs have been half of our other vehicle, a 2003 Chrysler T&C.

As good as any new car
|
Bought when 9 months old with 13,000 miles. Now have 118,000 and runs like new. 25 mpg commuting, 31 hwy. Replaced struts at 75,000, front brakes 75,000 and front brakes 115,000. That's the only maintenance besides timing belt at 90,000. I cannot get excited about paying $35+ for a new car that isn't any better than this. Hope to see over 200,000+ before I would consider changing.

This 99 Toyota Avalon has been a joy to own. I purchased it with 29,000 miles. In the 1 1/2 years that I have owned this vehicle I have experienced a wonderful ride, no problems and great to handle. I am very satisfied with my Toyota.

Hope Toyota fixed flaws in recent models
|
Overall a pleasent car. Looking for a mechanically quite reliable midsize car. Very comfortable for long trips. 1. Leaky trunk-spot welding at the factory in the trunk area is the culprit. Fixed the wheel well area water leak, but still water collects in the left (under the tool container). 2. Front rattle relates to bad shocks and mounts. I will change them summer. Rear stabilizer bar link is making noise as well, needed to be changed. 3. Exhaust pipe on the front (flex pipe) is designed too low & combined with bad shocks on the front caused repair. 4. Cheap headlight. Cheap clear plastic. Wheel well s/b larger to take larger tires. I do feel tire width s/b 215.

Best Car I've Ever Owned!!

Purchased used with 49000 miles, I've had no problems except a bad O-2 sensor. Wonderful ride, exceptional interior comfort, and a great sound system. My model is the Platinum Edition that came with a few extras including perforated leather seats,custom mats, and custom wheels. Looks better than most newer versions and a whole lot better than the current model. Reeks of quality.

Great mileage for a big car
|
Great car except for the springs and
struts.
At 25k miles the ride started to become
very hard. Felt every bump.
Complained to dealer and toyota.
Their solution was too much air in
tires. This while under warranty.
Having springs and struts replaced at
55k miles. This should solve problem.
Toyota will not be my choice to do the
work. Taking to independent garage.
Really believe the spring problem was
known and ignored by toyota, since it
only affected ride comfort, not
handling.
Also bought 2004 Avalon XL and the ride
quality between the two is laughable.
2004 rides on air, 1999 inspects all
defects in the road.

Simply the best
|
Purchased new in 1999, this car has been totally reliable. Have over 100,000 miles and uses no oil and engine is quiet. Had to replace the front struts at 70,000 (a common problem with Avalons-$600). Repaced front brake pads at 80,000, rear still good. Amazing. Easy to drive, quiet, roomy, and lots of power. Make sure you replace the timing belt at 90000 and car should run well for a long time. This is our fourth Toyota and one of the best.

Toyota Avalon 1999 XLS
|
This vehicle has been my best auto
purchase to date considering I paid
$15900 in the summer of 2002 with
approximately 48000 miles after it came
off a lease. It is very roomy and
luxurious plus it gets decent gas
mileage in Southern California traffic
@ 23 mpg! On the freeway with no a/c
it gets 29 mpg. The construction is
very sturdy and it has only required
normal replacement of 4 tires,
battery,platinum spark plugs and brake
pads. The only unusual replacement item
was the coil pack which I installed
myself becuse the dealer cost was
outrageous. I'd recommend buying the
Haynes repair manual to all!

Should have stayed with Honda Accord

Very disapointed with the value for
the dollars spent. Have had numerous
trips to dealer for faulty airbag
light, driver window failing several
times and dealer unable to diagnose,
suggested fix was to replace motor in
door with no guarantee that this was
the true problem, now right rear
window won't work, struts are bad,
door molding fell off, side molding
came loose, trunk flooded from rain,
cost $200 to replace gasket at dealer,
heated seats work poorly, wonderfully
riding car but not worth the money,
would not buy another Toyota.

Excellent value, comfort, performance
|
I bought this car with 10,000
miles...now it has 85,000. Only repair
was the A/C compressor replaced by the
dealer - I paid labor only (after the
warranty expired). Otherwise car is
flawless, solid, comfortable and fun to
drive. I have it serviced at the dealer
(oil change $26.95) My only question is
how long this will last. I might get
200,000 miles out of my Avalon, and I'd
be happy to drive it that long. Why
pay 1,000's more for another car? For
what? Having BMW written on the hood
just isn't worth it.

According to the dealer they were not
warrant or extended warranty items.
They were replaced about 50,000. I
can understand the struts, but not the

Glad I Bought It
|
Bought the Avalon XLS new in 1999 and
drove it 3000 miles soon after. It is
comfortable, gets 28 miles/gallon on the
highway, and has had no mechanical
problems. My family and I have plenty
of leg room and luggage space. I enjoy
driving it in the city (Los Angeles), as
well as on long trips. It's a great
family sedan with all the comfort and
reliability I expected fro

1999 AVALONS ARE THE BEST
|
This car by far is the best car for
under 30,000 fully loaded, this car is
a toyota, which is the maker of Lexus,
which is the maker of the ES400, This
model Avalon is the same exact
car...but $10,000 less!

A wonderful car to drive each day.

Excellent build quality, both inside
and out. Very smooth ride. Good
acceleration for a large car. Large
backsear with lots of legroom. Trunk
large enought to accommodate a family's
vacation needs or four sets of golf
clubs. Comfortable seats. This is what
fullsized Buicks, Mercurys, and

XLS Platinum Edition
|
Oh, baby - if you're thinking about a
99 Avalon, take a long look at the
Platinum Edition - I've never seen a
better color on a car!
Oh yeah, the rest of the car ain't bad
either! Just as a basketball team
works best when there's great
chemistry, the Avalon's combination of
attractiveness, safety, comfort,
reliability and resistance to
depreciation really come together in a
great package.
I thought about buying an Avalon in
1998 - instead decided to save money
and get a Sable. What was I, nuts??

not good for this price car
|
I have had an oil leak, emergency brake
that sticks and never has been fixed
properly, in fact it has to be adjusted
again after they installed a new one, I
have a side mldg falling off, the
windshield motors and linkage had to be
replaced, I have had the air bag light
stay on and come on while riding in
the car. Right now their is a metal
clanging noise in the motor. The car
has only 27,000 miles on it. For the
price paid for this car I would rate as
a picece of junk. My problem is not
with the dealer, it is the quality of
the car, they talk about Toyota
quality, not with this car.

Not nearly as well built as a Camry!
|
We own a '96 Camry and a '99 Avalon
XLS. In spite of having paid lots more
for the Avalon it's pretty much a piece
of junk compared to the (older!)
Camry. The Camry is still tight and
rattle free while the Avalon is a
complete rattle trap with only 52,000
miles. The front door locking
mechanism fell apart after 40,000 miles-
out of warranty and cost $530.00 to
repair. The right front rotor is worn
out... we are trading it in on a Saab
wagon next week as I'm tired of paying
the repair bills. I am a stay at home
mom and the car is driven back and
forth to school, the grocery store, and
church. Needless to say, we are
extremely gentle on cars. I will never
buy another Avalon.

I've had this car for approx. two years and I haven't seen one problem with it. I even got in an accident where someone rear-ended me at about 40 MPH. I noticed that the damage was fairly minimal. The acceleration is pretty good except I don't like how the car is approx. 300 pounds heavier than the Maxima. I also don't like how there is no available manual trans. with this car like the Maxima. Overall I giv this car a good rating.

It does everything
|
I have hauled 110 gallons of water, firewood and pulled a trailer with a commercial mower with my tacoma. Bought a 5200 pound camper and thought I should get a bigger truck to move it (only have to move it about 300 yards). I had a spring shop add an extra spring to each side. The tacoma moved the camper but she knew that she was pulling something very heavy. I have 127000 miles on it and the air conditioning has failed . Additionally, the cd player plays a few songs and then quits. Very good in the snow. Cannot complain about the dealership service department because I have not had to have repairs done. Update: still going strong. No realiability issues. Had an alignment done for the first time and the shop said that it was not out of alignment that bad. Almost 145000 tough miles.

Not Bad, still probably the best
|
This truck was purchased new in March of 07. It sees at least 8 miles of washboard roads daily, sometimes up to 40, in a very rural, desert environment it has performed well. The only failures have been the horn, and the radiator bolts fell out before 2300 miles. I replaced the horn with an aftermarket unit. The radiator was fixed by the dealer. When it is cold, the transmission is a little clunky till it warms up. Lots of gear noise from the transmission and rear end. The engine works fine, and has done well with 3/4 ton of stone in the bed. The stock Firestone tires stink The Speedometer/odometer is off by 4% this was remedied by replacing the sock 215/70/15 tires with 235/75/15.

Spunky little truck
|
I've had this truck for a little over two years now. Traded in a horrible piece of GM junk (2000 Pontiac firebird), needed a truck as I lived in a very rural area where trucks are a necessity. Reliability has been through the roof, especially compared to all of the GM cars and trucks that we have owned over the years. I went with the absolute base model with auto trans as the only option but fit and finish is still excellent along with a plethora of standard features. It doesn't even feel like a truck with the elegant but tough looking interior and almost car like handling. GM should've taken note long ago or they wouldn't be in such dire straits. Overall I am very pleased.

Very tight, well built truck. Extremely comfortable and capable. Runs a lot quieter than my old Ranger. It was like going from a room at Motel 6 to a suite at the Ritz-Carlton. This truck is perfect for me in this configuration and I plan to get many, many miles and years out of it. It's a real head turner on the road, too! I really love it.

Quality truck with better gas mileage
|
My first truck! I test drove F150 FX4, Nissan Frontier, and Titan but decided to get Toyota Tacoma in the end. I liked the F150 and Titan but I just couldn't buy either one because of gas mileage. The Frontier truck was good also but didn't have many configurations. Tacoma was built like a truck and runs like a truck too. If you want to get a truck that runs like a car, stay away from this one. However, if you are after quality, this one is for you. It lacks (4cyl 4X4) horsepower to accelerate fast on the highway but it handles sharp curves like a car. At high speed around 70 mph, the truck makes quite a bit of engine noise. The exterior is very stylish and interior is well designed.

Quality Truck
|
I traded my defective Chevrolet Colorado in on a new Tacoma after GM wouldn't stand behind their product. I wish I would have looked at the Tacoma 2 years ago. The interior quality beats Chevy hands down, as does the ride and lack of road noise. There is also no comparison of the stereo system, Toyota beats Chevy without question. The mileage on the 2.7 4 cyl. 4X4 Tacoma has been fantastic. The mileage during the first 3000 miles has been 23 - 24 mpg with about 50% highway driving. I am very happy with my Tacoma.

Love this truck
|
After having a Chevy S-10 and always wanting a Toyota, I can not be happier. I recently pulled a U-Haul trailer from PA to Florida, it made it seem like I had nothing on the back. My bud, pulled the same with an S-10. I pretty much could have dusted him. He had problems with hills, and I didn't. I also got better gas mileage, which is always a plus. I just like having a truck, even though this is the smaller model, it still rocks, has great power for a little engine. This is my second Toyota, I will never again own anything else.

Great truck but Toyota replaced the frame.
|
I love my Tacoma and I love the fact that Toyota replaced the frame of the truck under warranty even though the truck was 9 years old. If you are buying one of these trucks you need to find out if the frame has been replaced, if not the frame needs to be carefully inspected. Toyota had a issue with the frames but they stood behind their product and made it good. Just be careful you don't buy one with a rusted frame.

Rust Rust Rust - Recall Recall Recall
|
Year after year we hear how reliable the Toyota brand is. I challenge anyone to look at the facts and not the hype and find another company with more recalls than Toyota. For Tacomas specifically, more than 10 model years have had the same recall: rusted through frames. That's not just a design flaw --- that's flagrant negligence. To the 2007 model year they also added broken rear leaf springs. I can tell that a breaking leaf spring at 70 miles per hour is VERY scary and dangerous. The entire rear of the truck jumped several feet in the air and although I was able to maintain control, it turned out that half of the bottom spring fell off and in the process damaged my rear break lines and the fuel tank (not punctured).OK you may say so they will fix it - it's a recall. Yes, I was told that this would be repaired on my 2007 (there are several years that were not included in the recall although many people reported similar problems. In either case, it has been more than SEVEN MONTHS since I dropped of the truck at the dealership in Boston. S E V E N M O N T H S ! ! ! And nothing to report.It's hard to argue with the fact that Toyota Tacomas have a following and name recognition, but I urge you to look at the facts: Poor reliability, frequent and dangerous recalls, poor gas millage, and behind the times on technology in the cabin, but also drivetrain and engine...

Worst mistake I made was selling it.
|
The title should say it all. I got antsy and sold my Taco for a sports car. Huge mistake. This truck was near perfect. That transmission rattle you hear? Don't let some whack job mechanic tell you you need a whole new clutch a flywheel. It just sounds like that. In town I'd get no less than 22-23 mpg. And that was usually 16 miles round trip at 40 mph or less. I drive a Challenger R/T now and if someone said they'd swap me for my Tacoma again, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

Does Toyota quality still exist? Not my Tacoma..
|
I recently traded my tacoma, so now I feel I can give an unbiased review. I also own a Toyota Camry and after owning the Tacoma and talking to Toyota customer service I swore to myself I wouldn't buy another EVER.The first thing that went wrong.. a HIGH pitch whistling noise from the front end, Toyota could diagnose the problem, customer service told me "your truck was designed that way".. I figured it out finally, there was a TSB out on the internet for a weak seal on the windshield. Good job Toyota for the help.Next.. The temp/compass thing broke, the HVAC Fan switch broke, only HIGH or nothing. Rear end feel like it has resistance. Strange clunks and bangs. Continued below..

I *hate* this truck.My '97 Taco got better mileage.I have an up/down hilly commute of 7 1/2 miles per day, each way.I hypermile by coasting down hills, and still, the best I can eke out is 24 mpg.They took the same spec. 4 cyl. engine from the '97 Taco and put it into the huge, bulky body of the 2007 access cab.This thing labors up the slightest of inclines.I don't need a "full size pickup" to compensate for something else.The smaller truck was fine for going to Home Depot or the transfer station.My manhood was not threatened, yet for some reason, it seems that Toyota's masculinity was somehow called into question.I want my old truck back!

This is my ultra reliable work truck. I clocked 127,000 in less than 3 years. I only change oil, did not even get a tune up. Changed front brakes, rotors and a set of tires. Will change tires again soon. Hows that for reliability. In 2 more years, will change this truck with another Tacoma.

fuel mileage
|
I am a Canadian, and my window sticker said 29.0 mpg highway. After having several repairs done and two years later my best mileage achieved was approx 20.0 mpg highway. The dealership looked into it and said nothing was wrong even though I had black soot all over the rear quarter panel and all down the side of my boat when I towed it. After furthering my request to fix the lousy mileage I was receiving to Toyota Canada, I was informed the vehicle ran fine and they would not pursue the problem further. I sold it after just two years and bought a full size Sierra and now get much better mileage. Toyota didn't give a damn about me as a customer. P Beyrodt

It looks great. It's fun to drive. It's not very comfortable. It gets awful gas mileage. It has junky breaks. It has cheap paint. It doesn't offer an Mp3 adapter...even 5 years after its introduction...come on Toyota, what's the problem? No sunrooof option, that's a no brainer. Ok, that's enough. I still like my truck but next time around I'll be a little more picky.

Little Hauler/Commuter

First Toyota truck I've owned. I've owned a Frontier and a Ranger in the past. The Tacoma is a little better than the Frontier and a lot better than the Ranger, if you can get over the price difference. My Access Cab 4 cyl. is good on gas, but is underpowered even with a manual trans. First gear seems to be geared too low and hard to find at times when rolling at lower speeds. The exterior design is OK, with the stock wheels and tires too small for the well area The interior is nicely laid out with plenty of leg room for tall drivers. The radio is a little weak and the access cab area seating is too straight up for a comfortable ride. Overall, quality is good, just needs more 4cyl power.

This is my third Toyota truck. I've had an '86, '99, and this '07. It rides well, gets the same gas mileage as my last one and better than my old '86 four cylinder, but with more power. Engine is smooth, quiet and powerful. Transmission shifts smoothly. Very comfortable inside. Fold down rear "seatlets" work great for holding ice chests for camping. On the down side: The rear end bottoms out easily under load. Can be remedied with add-a-leafs or air bags. Not much ground clearance, I may get a lift kit.I liked the old lever-type 4X4 range shifter better. New electronic dial type range selector works reliably, but not as smooth and predictably as an actual lever did.

Nice truck
|
Nice truck, with excellent off road capabilities. This truck will get you and your gear out and back without a problem. It can climb steep inclines, narrow enough to get through the trees, light enough to get over the mud, and a great turning radius for a truck. I've yet to get this truck stuck in the deserts of Utah or the mountains of Colorado. It's certainly not a luxury vehicle but comfortable and fits well.

Trans. Rattle

Trans. Rattle
|
Bought the reg. cab 4x4 for utility and reliability. The truck has lived up to my expectation except for the 5 spd manual trans. The trans. has rattled when in neutral since day one. Rattle is tolerable except when A/C compressor is running. Had dealer inspect, but they claim it is normal. If I wanted a truck that rattled I would have saved some money and not bought new. I would not buy this truck again do to this problem. If you are going to buy a Tacoma don't get the 5 spd. I haven't heard anything about the 6spd or auto. There is no point in spending extra money for a Toyota if they are going to build them like Fords in California.

Good Truck Tacoma 2wd V6 6m/t
|
I think the Toyota Tacoma V6 is great strong Motor and the 6 speed m/t works fine (I find the oil changes very easy to do, I love the location of the oil filter). But, I have had some problems with chipping paint also. Furthermore the seating position is a little low. Also no iPod connection, my company work van has one. Also I wish the Tacoma had pop out wing windows (my 2004 Tacoma did). The Tacoma has great looks and it will be easy to sale. I suggest getting the tow package (6500lbs), the Tacoma is strong and can handle towing and off road driving. Its easy to beat up any truck, but in 10 years this truck will be still on the road (reliable).

Excellent overall value
|
Having owned Ford long beds, this truck is far superior in every way except power on hills. I chose the I4 Prerun for value reasons and it's lived up its name. Hauling a motorcycle on a hill with the manual tran at 70 was not a problem nor has getting 22-27 (26-7 if you drive speed limit; my overall avg. is 23.5) on the highway for my daily commute. I've driven 8 hours straight (one stop for gas) and enjoyed comfort comparable to the Accord; cruise control is a must! Also, the midrange power from 70-85 has been surprisingly responsive for those days when you're in a rush. IMO, this truck is a long term keeper.

Unpleasant Toyota Experience
|
Purchased this truck to get better mileage than my old 1999 Dodge Dakota. So far gas mileage has been terrible ( I am a careful driver!), the engine is under powered and the rough downshifting on even slight inclines makes the cruise control useless. Ride is spongy, steering is loose, lots of noise from the engine and road.

Everything has been upgraded from what I was used to. Coming from my previous 1999 version of this same truck, the 2007 version is longer, higher, wider, stronger and smarter. I am glad that they have made standard the 4x4 mode being switchable from the dash and also improved rust preventation under the chasis by using thicker steel, other alloys, and rust inhibiting paint. Standard features I would of thought would be extra (bedliner, CD, AC, etc.) There is no comparison out there. Nissan, Ford, Mazda, Dodge, and Chevy can only hope to ever match the quality, dependability, durability, and plain sleek/smart design of the Tacoma. The Toyota Tacoma continues to define the small truck genre.

13,000 miles, no problem

The truck was delivered with everything working correctly and not one mark on the finish. 13,000 miles later everything is still working, no warranty issues to date. The finish does have a few nicks now.

I absolutely love this truck, although it does lack in some areas for me. Despite having the performance engine and upgrades for a Tacoma, it just doesn't have enough power for me. Also, when I bought my truck the windshield wasn't sealed correctly and it produced very loud whistling at interstate speeds. The local Toyota dealership replaced the entire windshield for free though and now the truck has no problems.

Excellent Small Truck
|
This has been an excellent small truck to own. No issues to date. Looks better than most of the new cars in work parking lot. Has surprised friends and neighbors (who own larger trucks) IRT how much it can haul. Getting about 20 mpg.

Tacoma 5-Speed SR5
|
This is the first pickup I've owned and I generally have high marks. I imagine it's as capable as any other in its class, and IMO it rides extremely comfortably. One major disappointment is the chintziness inside. My gearshift knob swims in place, while the gearshift itself shimmies endlessly in the front gears (1-3-5). There's also a cheap plastic compartment next to the steering column that doesn't shut properly (and I've never used it). I've also been disappointed by the fuel efficiency. While it reports 23/28, I have yet to get anywhere close to 20 mpg from a tank. From a drive standpoint, the manual 5-speed seems essential for responsive on hills, turns, tough on-ramps, etc.

Great Truck
|
I love everything about this truck. The v6 is a great engine has plenty of torque,and I am getting 20mpg combined w/ mobil 1 in the crank. The ride is good even w/the TRD sport susp. I think the long W/B helps. I have 9k on it and it has not been back to dealer yet. I get compliments everywhere I go. It is a fun truck to drive.

Changed my religion

I have been a Nissan guy for over 20 years , I decided to give this little Toyota Taco a try. I must say I am very impressed with the all around quality and I am glad I went with a Toyota. Well built, very tight, smooth on the road, not bad pick up for a 4 cyl. getting good mpg.

Problems with Tacoma 4x4 from start
|
Makes clunk noise as you pull forward every time (sounds like transmission) and several times we were told that was normal. Now it is being looked at. Brakes squeeled and entire neighborhood laughed at new truck when backing up. Now has squeal in steering when turning either direction and car only has 7200 miles on it. Hate it already. Don't know what will happen next.

Awesome Truck
|
I bought my 07 Prerunner Access Cab after stepping down from a Chevy 1500 Z71 and I couldn't be happier. While I loved my full size, I love the improved fuel economy and the great pickup my V6 has. It has all the creature comforts you need and is comfortable. I am 6'4" and have no problem being comfortable in the front seat, although I wouldnt recommend the jump seats in the rear for any adult over 6'. Could use a little more padding on the seats, but I love the fold flat feature. Makes it easy to load groceries or bulky items. I love the track system in the bed. Makes it easy to find the best tie down spot for my load. Altogether an excellent buy. Will not be disappointed with this truck.

2007 Tacoma PreRunner
|
I've only had it a few days but after driving a 6 cyl. manual Ford F150 for 4 years this is a godsend. I bought an '07 Tacoma PreRunner with the TRD off road package. It has been an exceptional truck and I've had several of my neighbors/co-workers comment on it. I think I made the right decision. The Indigo-blue looks outstanding. It beats the Ford F150 6 cyl. into the ground for power.

Reliability but not much style
|
Toyota Tacoma offers a reliable vehicle, but option packages were not flexible. Wanted cruise control but that only comes with extended cab. Color and other options very limited. Design is cookie cutter. Lots of extra holes in the dash for accessory switches that will never be used and so on. I4 engine is underpowered making it necessary to manually shift between 3rd gear and drive. Cruise control is useless on roads even with slight inclines. The transmission downshifts constantly with a very jerky motion. Driver and passengers are constantly being thrown back and forth. Even slight side winds whip truck around on highway. Fuel economy not even close to what I thought it would be.

This is the truck I wanted!
|
Having spent over a decade in an S-10 Blazer, I was amazed at the quality of materials, quietness and smoothness of the Tacoma. My son-in-law has an '02 Tacoma that he loves. Driving my '07 is a pleasure. It has a great view of the road, ample power, a smooth-shifting manual 6 speed and ice-cold AC. The seats are comfortable and all of the controls within easy reach. I found the stereo to be more than adequate for my tastes, I'm not an audio snob. The locking rear differential is a nice bonus. I'm looking forward to many years of service from this truck!

A good small truck
|
The acceleration for this 4 cyl auto (SR-5) is very good. I had no trouble, without a heavy load, getting on the highway. The top speed I was able to get it to was 95 mph. I like the overall layout of the vehicle with the small storage area under the rear seats and in the cargo area. The seat and steering adjustments made the vehicle very comfortable to ride in and I had no trouble seeing out the vehicle in all directions. The vehicle's controls are all easy to get to and the radio was simple to operate.
