A General Overview of Toyota Tacoma 2002
It's very small. Best for only one occupant. Truck should not be driven when there is any snow on the ground. It is very dangerous. No traction in the front of the truck at all. The truck has needed few repairs besides minimal general maintenance.

Single cab seating and the bed holds everything I need to haul
The car runs great. I bought it used and had to fix some minor details. It has miles on it but still runs great.

2002 Toyota Tacoma review.
Everything is great on it runs great has 170, 000 miles only issue is a weak tailgate. The 3. 4 motor is a great strong motor. Change the oil and it just keeps running. Great little truck that is a do everything kind of truck. Mine has a small lift with mud tires and does great in the snow and off-road.

2002 Toyota Tacoma off road
We just need new front shocks and the air conditioner leaks a little but we just got it about five months ago and we love it for our little family of three!

My 2002 Tacoma and its qualities good and bad
It is getting old and is now on its last legs. I think the motor needs to be replaced. Tires are good and body not bad

The body would go bad before the engine does.
I have a 2002 Toyota Tacoma, this is the best reliable vehicle I have ever owned. I have never had problems with it, just basic wear and tear. Its an extended cab, has a cassette and CD player, it's an sr5 plenty of room to carry 2 kayaks in. The only problem that I had with my truck was the dashboard there was a rattle so I had to take my truck in a couple times to get it fixed. They could not fix it for some reason, so they ordered me a new dashboard and put it in. My truck gets about 25 miles to a gallon.

The emergency brake on it is not the best, it works, but no one knows how to use it and the is always on
I bought it when in 2002 and it has never broken down on me and I drive it pretty hard. It still has power and I love it.

Small, compact, but great for its size
Honestly this small mid size truck is actually amazing it's small and fuel efficient like a regular car or sedan but the power of a truck when you really need it

My truck may be old but it runs like new.
I purchased my truck used. It seems old when considering it's from 2002, however I'm nearing the 200,000 mile marker and it runs amazing. I do regular maintenance on it such as oil changes, brake replacements and things like that on my own. I've only had to take it into the shop for one minor issue that was caused by something I did to it myself. The truck has been so reliable and fun to drive, I hope to have it for another 100,000 miles.

A greatly engineered product.
The pick-up has always started right up. It responds to my every action always accelerating with vim & vigor and stopping when it is supposed to. Its speed declines at an accepted rate then its brakes respond to my foot's pressure with precision. It handles like an exact wireless mouse on a clean mouse-pad. Simply put it is a well engineered vehicle. I just love it!

Comfortable light duty truck.
The truck has been very reliable. With only two wheel drive it does not do well in the snow and ice. It drives and seats comfortably, but the version I have is not equipped with latch for car seats. I would prefer a longer truck bed if I were to purchase another truck.
accountCircle Ron b on June 18, 2020
Extremely reliable. Sits higher than most mid size truck. Seats are just OK not really that comfortable.
I don't like that you cannot turn off the daytime running lights. It has been extremely reliable with only the minimal maintenance. Door handle has broken twice.

Toyota Tacoma is an amazing vehicle with a great resale value.
I love my Toyota Tacoma. It is very dependable and I have very few problems if any. It is value stays up as long as you take care of it. The Toyota dealer takes really good care of their customers. Reminding them of maintenance needs on a timely basis. They have great trade-in value. I would recommend anybody to buy a Toyota Tacoma.

I love my amazing red truck.
I love my Toyota Tacoma pickup truck I have never had a problem with it. All I have had to do is keep it maintained regularly at the dealership. And have had no major engine trouble over all these years. The back seat is very large. Which is important because I am tall. And the pickup truck bed is extremely long so it is easy to haul things.

My 2002 Toyota Tacoma trd.
I bought my Toyota brand new in 2002 and never had any issues with it since I bought the trd addition making it heavy duty and rugged. I use it to go fishing on the beach where the 4×4 is needed and no problems getting stuck or stranded. It never let me down. I also use it to pull my 20 foot boat as well as launching and pulling it out of the water, again no problem with those tasks having the 6 cyl plenty of power.

It's a 100% reliable never has failed me
Love the looks,gas mileage. Simplicity, reliability, and dependability. I have 155k on the truck and have had no major issues/repairs/failures. My only dislike is the power is somewhat lacking in the 2.7l and the trucks bed is shallow compared to newer gen trucks which can sometimes make hauling large loads a bit hard.

I've owned it since it had 9 miles on it in 2002 and it still only has 68,000.
I love having a pickup. You never have to worry that it won't fit in your car. I wish my dogs could ride more comfortably. There is a crew cab but they don't like it much. Nice for being able to lock up smaller items.

Reliable truck with a good quality engine that lasts
I love this truck! Runs great and has a good quality engine. Is comfortable to drive and I also feel safer driving a higher vehicle because of better visuals. Love the look of the truck & the extra cab for space. Would like it if there were 3 seatbelts in the extra cab to have the ability to put infant car seat in back.

Dependable, Cozy Little Truck is Great for Driving Around Town and Longer Trips for 2
We were given this truck 6 years ago by extended family members. It is a 2002, and they had only put eight thousand miles on it! Yes, that's right: 8,000. In the subsequent six years, we've added approximately 50,000 to it, and it has been such a good, dependable little truck. So far, no major issues beyond the usual upkeep. The bench front seat is fairly comfortable. The back seat has two fold down seats. If we had kids, it would be okay for short trips. Any more than that would be a little claustrophobic, I would think. The bed is large enough to haul medium sized furniture. For us, it's the perfect size. We've taken it on long trips in addition to about town jaunts. Our engine is a little underpowered. Steeper inclines take a bit more gas, and moving to the slow lane is a must. That's really the only drawback we've found so far, for our needs anyway. As long as we keep up with maintenance, I'm sure it'll last us a long, long time.

Toyota Tacoma 2002 silver.
I've had the truck for quite some time now and have had very few problems. The truck has almost 225k miles and almost no issues have occurred while driving it. I think the only thing we have fixed on the truck is replacing the spark plugs. Obviously it isn't the biggest truck so if you are looking for a big bed, or a truck that can fit a lot of stuff this probably isn't the right one. It has a decent sized bed that can fit enough for normal use. The one downside is the truck cannot pull very much weight. It can pull a little, but a big camper would not be able to be pulled by the Tacoma. The backseat is a little tight on size for someone that is bigger or taller, but it can fit people comfortable for the most part. The truck is very reliable and holds its value pretty well.

Great reliable truck with great dependability for high mileage!
My truck does not have any problems, zigs been able to maintain it well. It performs great for a small pickup truck and it is very reliable. It is not the most comfortable vehicle because it is a single cab but it leaves a lot of space for the truck bed.

It is a small truck that drives more like a car. A very comfortable ride.
It is a great small truck that drives more like a comfortable car. I have had it since 2002 but it only has 67, 000 miles on it. I can haul small loads and it has a crew cab so I can carry things like groceries and keep them in a locked environment. It is a great economy in miles and has a pretty straight body for it is age. It is held up very well over the years. I will keep it until it dies.

Do the regular maintenance and this truck may last forever.
It's a very basic small pickup truck. We got it as a secondary vehicle before we had kids. It has served me fantastically for a long time. I've had it 16 years, have had very few problems, and it still runs great. Now that we have kids, a 2 seat truck is not as useful as it once was, but this truck has been great for us.

Toyota Tacoma: most reliable truck.
There are little to no problems with the truck. It is now about 16 years old and only started having some wear and tear trouble about 10 years into having the truck. It is very reliable and very roomy. The cab is a little tight, given the extended truck bed size. It is red in color and is a very nice finish for a car.

Gets me to where I know to go and back, reliable. A pick up truck always comes in handy too, especially when it comes to moving so it's been a great help for that. I have had it for years now and haven't had any troubles. Good on gas too. Maintenance is affordable and is not needed often.
