My truck is a 1999 Toyota Tacoma. The color is mystic purple mica. Purple is my favorite color and I have seen no other manufacturer other than Toyota offer this color. I purchased the truck in October 1998 brand new. Sixteen years later I can say it has stood the test of time. The only thing I have had to do besides normal maintenance (oil change, new tires, air filter, plugs, etc.) is a new starter and a new alternator. Not bad for sixteen years. It has been a very reliable vehicle. I would not be concerned about taking it cross country now. It is a very good looking truck, reliable and gets about 26 highway miles to a gallon of gas.

I've had other vehicles before but nothing surpasses the quality and performance of Toyota. I strongly believe Toyota cars are built exceptionally well and are built with the customers in mind, because my Toyota Tacoma truck has been the best car I have ever owned. I bought this truck used and have owned it now for over seven years. It has over 180,000 miles on it and continues to run perfectly with no technical or mechanical difficulties. My Toyota Tacoma truck is not only practical but fuel efficient too. I'm a Toyota guy now for the rest of my life!
