The plastic bed has held up well although a little slick.

Cons

This was the first Toyota I was disappointed with. I don

Pros

"TOUGH" when off roading,Great street ride

Cons

Has Drive shaft issues but told by many that its no concern, Its a taco thing

I love the truck,and it has great power. The only thing i wish is that it had a MP3 inlet in the dash.

Pros

Beautiful truck handles great

Cons

Over revves poor gas mileage

I love toyota trucks. I have had three. It has all been good. My 2007 is all that I hoped it would be except for this hi revving between shifts. If I coast to a stop in 2nd it will rev to 1400 rpms until I hit the break and come to a dead stop. As you go through the gears the rpms remain high and come down slowly when you take your foot off the gas. It is driving me nuts and I will hopefully get this fixed at my 10000 mi. service....read morehide

Pros

Nice looking truck. Very comfortable, quiet and smooth ride. Roomy interior.

Cons

Poor fuel economy, high price.

My double cab 4x4 TRD has got 17,000 miles on the odometer. No problems so far. The ride and steering are car-like. The truck is very stable on the road, even in the 2x4 mode in poor road conditions. I am happy that I ended up with a double cab instead of an access cab as I initially planned. The double cab has way more room and seats three in the back against 2 in the access version. I can say the same about the bed length. I purchased a truck with the long box, and I am glad about it. The long bed is much more practical, and the truck looks better with it, than with the short box.
The main disappoinment is poor fuel economy. Even when driving on highways, the mileage has never been above 20 mi/gal....read morehide

Pros

Nice looking, interior is nice

Cons

first gear short, gas mileage is horrible

Overall the Tacoma is a good truck the main problem is the gas mileage especially with gas so high. Even with the manual there is not difference in fuel milage. Tough truck so far on bumpy rough rodes, rides pretty smooth. Though rode noise can be loud when on highway.
Able to upgrade to leather interior at dealership and made a world of difference to interior look.
Basically a good little truck just need to work on fuel economy...read morehide

Pros

Great in the snow, 4x4 excellent for my needs, comfortable ride

Cons

none that I've found

I needed a 4x4 truck, many recommended Toyota. I did a lot of researching and found this truck to be within budget. I have a 2-dr, 4 cyl -- it can tow a couple of snow mobiles and the composite bed is the best! It gets me on and off the hill I live on in the middle of winter with no problems. I feel very safe. Its one good-lookin' little truck with a smooth comfortable ride. I have absolutely no complaints...read morehide

Pros

smooth and quiet ride, fit and finish inside, out and under superb. Extreme ease of maintanance!

Cons

only down side is leather seats are not offered had to have outside company upgrade with Katzkins

My previous vehicle was a 99 Ford Ranger 4x4 with 9 inches of Fabtech susp, and body lift, 36 inch Mickeys and a ton of extras. I recently traded it in at 178,000 miles for my new 07' Tacoma 4x4 Double Cab Sport model. I spent about a month test driving and poking around every new truck I could possibly think of before making my purchase but in the end the Tacoma just "outtrucked" all the others. Everything from the wide wheel base to the short poly/fiber non metal bed with the wall outlet and drug smuggle compartments j/k to the 6,500lb. tow package, multiple under body skid plates and superb underbody/frame finishing, bilsteins, 17 in. alloys, all x-joints lubable on propellarshafts, oil filter relocated to top of engine, non-functional but sweet looking hood scoop..... Interior that is beyond beautiful and extremely functional- test drive one and check out rear seats- they fold down with hard backs and have compartments. i'm rambling.

I have over 10 car dealerships that are my business clientelle ranging from domestic to all types of imports. I was at first given a slightly hard time by my domestic dealership managers- little ribbing "are you hungry to drive a new truck every hour...? does it give happy endings..." but after everyone had a chance to look the truck over and sit in it they agreed it's most likely the finest truck out there not counting the Tundra. I've parked this next to brand new Chevy 1500's/sierras, Colorado/Canyons, Chevy F150's, 250's, Rangers and any Dodges- snicker.. and there is no possible way they can size up in options, fit or finish for it's price range. I've had PDI managers and salesmen comment that they'd take it any day over the previously mentioned vehicles just don't tell their GM!

I must admit that buying a Toyota was a difficult choice due to the fact my aunt is employeed by Ford MC Corporate and my uncle sets up networks for GM. My father even was dead set against Toyota because "we're giving away America!" however aren't the majority if not many American vehicles already part sourced or built altogether outside of North America? Last time I checked Toyota is American built. After a ride around the block and a chance to kick the tires my father completely reversed his opinion on Toyota products now just to get him to sell all that stock in Ford.

My only gripes would have to be that Toyota doesn't offer any leather options on the Tacoma besides the steering wheel and shifter and I had to find a hard tonneau cover from an outside company. However my dealer was extremely helpful with what I wanted and sent my truck out to be fitted with leather and a hard tonneau cover which was all worked into the price of my vehicle with Toyota financing. By the way.. they rock- you can call at any hour to see if your payment was received, remaining balance, etc. Also if you make extra payments they forgo your due date for next payment to the amount you paid....read morehide

Pros

Power, seating / room, looks and super easy to perform oil changes

Cons

at 15,000 miles the truck has been perfect

The Tacomas may be a bit more expensive then the competition, however, you get what you pay for. I tow a 6500lbs Crownline boat all around the Chesapeake Bay area and the truck does so perfectly. Spend the few extra dollars, you can't go wrong.

Pros

decent priced truck

Cons

a couple of rattles or squeaks, wind noise quite intrusive at highway speeds, mediocre mileage.

this truck is an over-all good vehicle that lacks refinement. It'll get you by, but you may wish for more. Toyota definitely puts more emphasis on their cars than on their trucks.

Pros

looks great, lots of power

Cons

16mpg highway,very weak tailgate,12 volt outlets don't work with key off

on my second tailgate, first one collapsed when trying to load my motorcycle, fuel mileage is 16 mpg no matter how you drive.
