This vehicle is my first car. It was very roomy on the inside despite being a 3 seater. However, it is not roomy enough to sleep inside overnight. The seats are made of fabric and can get quite dirty. Overall, it has been a very reliable car, with only having a startup malfunction when it was around 140,000 miles. The car has been using 87 gas and runs fine now at 190,000. The major con of this car is being able to drive at stable speeds of 80 when going uphill. It has to be floored to be around 67mph. It can carry heavy loads and the ride becomes more stable when carrying heavy loads also.

The 2004 Toyota Tacoma is one of the most popular models of the Tacoma line of pickups. I often get asked if I am willing to part ways with it, and the answer is always no. A lot of people appreciate the aesthetics of this particular model. The truck is very dependable. I have owned it for more than five years without ever having a breakdown or major issue. It starts every time, even when its cold outside. The drive is relatively quiet (with the right tires) and there isn't anything that stands out as an annoyance. The seats are comfortable for most rides and only I've only gotten back aches after being on the road for several hundred miles at a time (I have driven across the country TWICE with it so I would know better than most). The four wheel drive is always great when going off-road on the beach, on trails, or even in the snow. It has a locking real differential, which can get you out of a serious bind when off-roading. This is a very nice feature not found in all smaller trucks. The bed is 6ft long, which gives me ample room to load up everything I need for a camping trip, and more! On most days I drive it on the highway using two wheel drive. Overall, I feel safe in the truck and drive with confidence that it'll get to from point A to B every time. Only gripe is the gas mileage could be better (average at 15 MPG), but that is generally expected from a truck.
