I now have a 2000 model Tacoma 4x4 extra cab that I love the dependability of. I just had my first kid last week and need q bigger truck. I found a 2002 4 door Tacoma 4x4 in great shape. Who has one that they use as their small family vehicle and are u happy with it?l for that use?
Also, wife has SUV so wouldn't be full time use.

I was in the same boat last year and jumped off the boat recently. I bought a new 2013 four door Tacoma on 12-31-12. We had our first baby on 2-13-13. I traded in that vehicle A few months ago because it simply was not big enough for me transporting a car seat, baby gear, etc. Every time I put his car seat in there, I would have to fold down the front seat. This was a pain in the arse not only doing the first time, but also raising it when the seat was out.
I'm now in a four door F150 and have room for all the Dugar children in the back seat. The Tacoma was a great truck, just not big enough for my needs. I'm more of a portly fella (6'-2" and waiver from 215 to 225 most of the time). The day I had a new employee riding with me was the day I decided it was going back. He was 6'-1" and 265 or so. We were riding shoulder to shoulder that morning and the truck was then dead to me.

I drive an 01 four door Tacoma. Have a 3 month old son and the car seat fits fine. Plenty of leg room.
I've had this truck 9 years now and can't imagine ever owning a better vehicle.

4 door yota sr5 series but 2006
Love it. Have a 6 month old and no issues.
Of course that's my wife who's been hauling her around the past 6 months.
Either way, love that truck.

I used to have one and loved it. Wish I would have never got rid of the thing. Truck was solid. I once got in a wreck with an army hummer leaving tiger stadium after the Fla game Katrina year. Truck did well.

IMHO, it's all going to depend on the type of rear-facing car seat you use for the baby.
Some of them sit way "forward" which requires you to push your seat up a good ways or fold it down.
Some sit further back into the seat and may not require that.
Those Tacomas are good trucks, but speaking as a guy who has two sons, one of them still in a rear-facing car seat, get a bigger truck...
And, as previously mentioned, a newer 4dr Tacoma isn't big enough either.

I have a 2004 prerunner 4 door. The last year of the first generation. It is good for what I want, drive to work, haul small loads or pull a utility trailer. The back seat is ok for little kids but not adults.

I had a four door Tacoma. It was great when I was the only one in the truck, but after 2 people that thing go tiny real quick. I drive a 2008 4 door chevrolet ck2500 duramax diesel. No comparison between the two.
