2000 Toyota Tacoma consumer reviews

We are still driving it in 2022. Can I really say more? It never lets us down. Do we look hot tooling around town, no, but there is no car payment, insurance is low and we don't have to worry about where we park it. LOL

JNM Auto sales sold me this car with massive frame rust disguised with thin coat of epoxy and paint. Not safe to drive, won't take car back, won't return my phone calls. I am screwed out of $7,800.

I bought mine off the lot with 3 miles in 2000. I still own it, 19 years later. It has 292k miles and with the same engine. I replaced parts and kept up with the maintenance. It still drives like new and I love my baby. If I had the money, I would Linex it and do more customs on it. Next year, I'm purchasing the antique license plate.

I love everything about my Tacoma “Tonka” PreRunner chariot. It’s a stout rugged, dependable little powerhouse of a light duty truck. The saddle utility box in the back is perfect for what I need to carry with me. PERFECT

I'll start with the downside of owning this truck. At the price point there are a lot of other types of vechiles available. The interior is cramped for a tall person. The engine is sluggish. However, this truck is extremely reliable. I've owned two of them and put over 100,000 miles on both. Both Manuel transmission, both 4x4. Both had the 2.7 liter. Never had a hiccup on either. Not even a battery change. Put BF Goodrich A/T on both of them. Truck was so light that it never really wore down the tires. When I sold it there was still plenty of tread. Used the 4x4, never abused it. Only reason I sold it was I had 3 boys. No room.

I bought mine off the lot and it had 3 miles. Now it has 285k miles and still going strong. It needs a paint job and new interior carpet but the engine is still the original. People around me keep getting new vehicles and I'm still with me truck.

I feel very happy and lucky to own this Tacoma Pickup truck. I bought it new in 2000. So far, I have driven 221K miles. It still looks and drives like a new truck, actually better, and it is not an over statement.

I think it would have been a bit more hp on a automatic. But truck feels a bit light well so far so good .

A great truck for hauling, towing, getting through bad weather, and really all around driving. In demand for a reason.

I test drove several used Tacomas, but given the very high resale value of Tacomas, I ended up buying a new one.
