I had a 2004 tacoma and loved
I had a 2004 tacoma and loved it except for no power seats lack of options and out dated rear drum brakes which still hasnt changed till this day unless you get the limited package you can get power seats .I had no real issues with it and sold it with 200k on it .I am now looking for a new truck and i agree chevy and ford have better gas mileage and bigger beds,higher payload and better towing standards but i cant bring myself to buy them do to reliability trumps all.I wish the tundra came with push button start and better fuel economy because i would so buy it .i also wish the new tacoma came with disc brakes in rear and better trans and lose the atkinson motor its weak and sub par .i guess i will go with honda ridgeline for now and if i need more bed space i will buy a trailer .It has all the bells and whistles plus fuel economy .I wont be going rock climbing so iam not worried about ground clearance.i do agree it looks alot like a car from the front but that can be altered with lift kit and new grill etc etc.I also understand its not a full frame but if something happens i do have insurance lol.
