Does anyone love their Tacoma 8 years later

2000 Tacoma eight years later new frame new wiring harness new brake lines new brake fluid New anti-freeze might as well say I got a new truck for free what's not to like

 

I've loved both of my Tacomas, and my Landcruiser and both 4Runners. There's a reason I've owned 6 Toyota made trucks/SUVs, the RX300 and Rav4 were good, but I didn't love them.

 

any frame rust issue?

 

Out dated over rated get yourself the 3rd generation and you will be even happier

 

Buncha fanboys

 

I found the best cure that Truely works for the rust issue, just lease them.

 

I bet the stealership loves to see you coming
Haven't had a payment since 2010!

 

It's been a 12 year love fest with my 2nd gen!

 

Mine is a 2007, and after 10 years, 148,000 miles, I guess I can say that the gen 2 was a fairly good "platform" to build a truck on that I can use. It has been very reliable and that is it's saving grace. About all you can hope for these days is to find a good platform. It wasn't my intention to buy a "platform" however. I actually need a truck that can haul, tow, and deal with some adverse conditions. That used to be the definition of a "truck". That is what I thought I was getting from a company like Toyota. So the bottom line for me is that after spending a good 10K to replace the entire suspension, make significant changes to the drivetrain, install such trivial things as bumpers, and fix a laundry list of little issues like the heater resistor then yes, I'm pretty happy with the truck. It's a real disappointment to me that after 10 years in production, Toyota still hasn't taken care of problems that they know existed from day one. They are great at band-aiding a problem while never admitting that the problem ever existed. I definitely would not buy another one unless I had the coin up front to fix everything that is wrong. My faith in Toyota is pretty low. I've finally got mine fixed, after years of work and a ton of money, and I'll drive it till it won't go another mile. Hopefully that is a long way off.

 

I have only had my 08 tacoma for 2 years and i love it more everyday. i dont think I'll ever buy a different vehicle. If something happens to this I'll be buying a new one the next day from the dealership

 

Love my 08, none of that worthless technology crap that goes bad in a couple years. Keep it simple!

I'll keep it till it dies.

 

I bought mine brand new in 2007 and hit 200k miles last week. I love it more every day.

 

4 yrs but yup

 

Meh.

 

My single cab has power nothing and that's how I like it

 

Regarding the OP's question - ask me next May, only have 7.5 years ownership right now.

 

Agreed, they need to fix the stuff that matters and back off the worthless gingerbread.
