I think this is a wonderful truck for someone who is looking for a midsize pickup. It has been able to handle any number of truck-related tasks. I have put it through the ringer these last few years, and it is still going strong. Like any vehicle, it is important to take car of a Tacoma, and if you do so, you will be rewarded with a truck that lasts for years on end. Obviously, it is a pick-up and not a luxury sedan or SUV, so the ride can be bumpy at times, but I think that is part and parcel of buying something in this class of vehicle.
