    I love my truck but there is some things i would change about it. The intermittent wipers could have more speed settings. Rearview mirror could be mounted higher but other than that its awesome.

    I like my taco but let's be real ! It's a lightly duty pick up!
    It's not the best 4x4 in the world !
    It's not a Baja race truck!
    It's just the best truck in its class and at this point there are only 2 trucks in that class !

    Are you kiddin me? I frickin love my Taco!
    That's how I voted.

    When I first bought it, I didn't like how low to the ground it was; and how small the tires were. So I fixed that.

    Fuel mileage sucks - half of what my Corolla gets.
    BUT I DON'T CARE - because I love my Tacoma! :D

    This is my first non 4x4. And I haven't been in a situation to need 4x4 for years. I wheel when necessary and not for fun.

    Besides my girlfriend has 4x4.. :rolleyes:

    love my truck, has never failed me. or given me any problems. i definitely miss my benz. but you couldnt take the benz offroading.. not sure if i made the right choice trading in my paid off benz for my tacoma, making payments on it. just crossed over 100,000 miles and i still have three more years to pay off.. not sure if i made the right decision or not.
    my trucks my baby just not loving the seats they arent the best for traveling long distances.. just my opinion

    I love my 2002 4X4 taco. Is it percect no. I wish it had a solid front axle instead of IFS. But I bought it just to modify and off road. Its not my daily driver so I don't drive it all the time. But it is a solid little truck.
