Anyone drive one?
Looking at truck possibilities once mine gives out(215k and never had problems so hopefully no time soon.) The Tacoma's seem like well built little trucks that are fun to drive and hold value. I know their MPG isn't great compared to a 1/2 ton.
Anyone have some insight?

I still have my '99 ext. cab. 245,000 miles on it, and it has been in the shop once because my tail lights went out, and I couldn't find the broken wire. A guy came by my house yesterday to see if I was trying to sell it because it sits in the back now. I'm giving it to my BIL when he can drive. All i know is they are mighty proud of the newer ones, and can't be found for cheap. Great trucks though

I've got an '05 and it's been a good truck. I don't think I'll get another one just for the fact that I just want more room. Otherwise, I'd say go for it!

I own an '09 Quad Cab 4wd TRD Off Road Tacoma. Love it.

97 ext cab 4x4 here with 178K. The engines are excellent and mine has held up well. I will drive mine until it needs another engine and seriously consider a retrofit at that time.

I've had an '05, '08, and now a '12 and absolutely love them. I'm getting right around 20mpg with mixed driving (including off road) which isn't bad for a 4 door 4x4 IMO. I tow a 19 ft bass boat with a 200hp motor with no issues. If you don't need a full size truck for heavy towing you can't beat a Tacoma.

They are the standard for longevity and will smoke any full sized truck off road that doesn't have rockwells and 44" boggers

2001 205000 miles love it!

My next truck will probably be a Tacoma. I'm driving an 03 silverado with almost 200k now, but it is bigger than I need since my kids grew up.
I plan to hang on until the 2014 models come out because they will have improved engines with DI and better mpg. Co worker had a Tacoma and I love the way the little trucks handle and they will haul anything most people need to haul/tow.

Loved my 2008 but got rid of it because my 2011 F-150 Ecoboost gets way better gas mileage. Why own a mid size when you can own a full size and get more power, room and better gas mileage?

I've always been a fan on the tacoma. After driving a 2002 single cab for 10 years, I thought I wanted another one until I actually looked at it. The four door's bed is miniscule. Might as well not even have it and the back seats were very crampped. Ended up with a tundra crewmax. Big difference

I have the 07 doublecab.
120,000 miles on it and still rolling with the factory serpentine belt.
