Toyota Tacoma Experience

[Rob Rockcrawler]

No personal experience here but my cousin has one, and tows a pretty big camper with it without any problems, says it could use some more power but cant we all. I thin his camper is in the 20' range, no idea how much something like that weighs. And its a pretty good beach truck as well.

My wife had an 03'.......she had it for 2 1/2 years....loved it.....and after she traded it in.....it only cost her about $2,000.00 to drive that truck for the 2 1/2 years!!!! Great resale value for sure!!!

Bought the 2005 and loved it. Drove it everywhere and towed my boat (rated for 6500 with tow package). Put 100k miles on it and never had any major repair work done, just the usual/recommended maintenance.

Just picked up a new 2009 a few weeks back. Same model/accessories. My only complaint is that they discontinued the navy blue color so I settled on the metallic grey.

Sure do. I have an 08 with 4WD, and I added the limited slip diff in the rear. So that would help on ramps, both back wheels get power if she starts to slip.

I pull my 21 footer no problem, although i only go to the ramp once in the spring to splash and once in the fall to pull.

But it is a great vehicle, I sold my F150 just in time (before the 4/gal) spike. I get about 20 mpg on the high end.

So far I am loving every minute of it not the tinest of problems and I have had it 1 1/2 years so far....

Hope that helps, feel free to ask or PM any more questions.

You should watch where your driving, if you look closely at your pic there is a dead guy under your truck!

Still driving my 4 cyl. 2000 4WD. Replaced an alternator and battery in 9 years and I tow a 17' CC and drive on the beach. I was hoping the buyback program was going to claim her because of frame rot. They would have given me $11k for a truck I paid $15k for many moons ago but Falmouth Toyota said "keep driving it, no perforation yet". 1 more year.

I have the exact same truck as Moses, bought 2009 bought in March. Absolutely love it so far. Still waiting for nauset to open, and will report back with its off-roading capability.
