    Overall I'm happy with my truck, but if I had to do it again, I'd probably get one with a tow package or at least a hitch installed.

    I like the base model SR5 because I'm going to mod it, anyway -- but getting one with a tow package and maybe a locker would have been preferential.

    After six months of owning it, I still look forward to driving it to work everyday. The only way I'd get rid of it would be to upgrade to a newer Tacoma.

    I hate haveing to constantly go in for a new blower motor and I hate the squeeks and creeks in the cabin. Love the fuel efficiancy, love the room, love the looks, and I love that because i was the first owner I can expect 200k+ if I maintain it well

    i had an older toyota pickup that i built had 380,00 miles on it. i was convinced i needed a bigger truck. 97 chevy long bed extended cab lifted on 35's 8 miles to the gallon. sold it and figured i would give toyota another go. 96 tacoma modded out and i will never go back, might upgrade in a few years to newer one but will never get rid of it :)

    I have always owned one of the (Detroit) big three in my life but this is my first Tacoma. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles that my previous trucks have had but I have "modded it up" and I can truly say that I love my Toyo Taco. I can whip it in and out of a parking lot or I can put it in 4 wheel drive and mud it out. The stereo is the basic one but it beats all the previous stock stereos (even the "mighty" Bose I had in my GMC Sierra) by far. I even get two more miles to the gallon than my old GMC so a fill up is less expensive each time. I've gotten lots of compliments on it to boot...

    If only they would recall the blower motors and install a better manufactured one... Under warranty, I'm on my 3rd one in just over a year. Same damn cricket noise. (yes, I've seen the do-it-yourself forums on this).

    The fixes on here are only a temp fix... mine keeps coming back. It's a real design flaw... by that I mean the entire assembly is retarded. Honestly I'm disappointed with the entire A/C unit...
