Worst Year for 2nd gen tacos ?

2005...149,987...changed battery...still rolling...

 

I had an o5.Issues with clutch pedal squeeking and trans coming out of gear.windshield squeeked when hot.the factory left alignment tabs under the molding,after they were removed windshield noise went away. I traded for an 09...same issue with clutch pedal,just had it fixed for the 3rd time.radio was replaced also. the 09 at least runs on regular gas. I am not sure if I will buy another Toyota product. My 1986 4x4 pickup lasted 17 years before the frame rotted out

 

I have had ZERO problems with my 05, granted it only has 50k on it. But still not a problem one.

 

How are you getting that kind of insane mpg with a V6 DC? I've got a 2010 V6 DC and averaging 18.6, with the stock prerunner 245 tires for now.

 

The TSB work got rid of my crickets...

 

I like this thread and it has been viewed a lot; can you add a poll for us to vote on the worst years?

 

The general consensus is to stay away from the first year of any vehicle after a model change to allow them to work the bugs out. That being said, my 05 has 84,000 on it and it is rock solid.

 

My 05 as 104k miles. Runs like a champ.

 

I have an '05 with 93k on it, and not a single issue.

 

I think you're mistaken. Tacoma was it's own creation. The T100 became the Tundra and the trucks that Toyota was offering in place of the Tacoma before "Tacomas" were a thing were Hiluxes without the Hilux badge. That's why there's a 95 (first year Tacomas were sold, in the USA at least) Tacoma and a 95 Hilux. Pretty sure the Tundra came out in 1999, and the T100 stopped being produced in 1998. I could be wrong though.

 

pfft haters

 

Did you really bump a thread from 2010?

And are you encouraging this?

 

"quietly walks away to check motor mounts"

 

I like you, you can stay

 

fuck lol im actually worried now considering how hard I drive my truck. and after searching failed motor mounts this looks like a serious issue my god

 

2012 seems to be a bad year. That's when the whole limp mode came up due to an unneeded addition to the engine.

 

I love a good thread revival. I think this has a lot of potential.

 

2005, because of the head gasket issue in #6 cylinder.

 

2005 148,000 miles no problems, first thing to go was the a/c compressor

 

Everybody hatin on my 05

130k+ with none of the "common" issues.

My vote goes to the 2012 just because of the air injection crap, but I'd take those potential issues for the updated front end.

Actually I take it back. I don't think any one specific year is any worse than the next.
