My Toyota Tacoma is a great truck for what I need. When I purchased it used, it had the check engine light on and was running in limp mode. Since I got the money issues fixed it had served me very well! I find the ability to go off-road very useful. I can drive into a field and not worry about getting stuck because I have four wheel drive. The only time I got it stuck was when I tried to buck an 18 inch snow drift and got pushed off the track into even deeper snow. I had to dig a lot of snow away before I was able to get it out. I have not used it to pull anything so can't comment on it's towing ability. I did overload it with bricks once and loaded them back too far causing the steering to be very "floaty" and dangerous. Fortunately I didn't have far to go and it was on back roads! Overall I find my truck to be very useful for small hauling jobs with the ability to do medium jobs well and capable of heavy hauling in a pinch.

This truck was just what we needed. We wanted a vehicle to add to our fleet that could help us with moving larger loads. This truck was nice looking and compact so it was easy to maneuver and park. We got many compliments on it and the gray color was really nice. It did pretty well in the snow but we added snow tires to help with traction and would just put bags of salt in the back to weigh it down. We never had any engine problems and it was not expensive to upkeep. The regular service schedule was enough to keep us running with confidence. We had the truck for 10 years even though it was used when we purchased it. Toyota built a high quality truck tha5 was affordable to a family that just needed a vehicle for large loads. We would highly recommend it to anyone else looking to add to their personal fleet. It got good mileage despite being a truck and never left us stranded. We would have kept it longer but tot AOTA had a recall and took great care of us as we navigated that process. We never had an issue but they made sure we were taken care of.
