2006 Tacoma Double Cab 2WD in 2010. Found one of the earliest models with side impact air bags. He really likes it and it has been a good vehicle for him / us.
the trim was shoddy, and had an issue with the water pump. had the frame replaced when it rusted through.
I'd consider buying another one if I had the hankering for a truck again, but I think the Toyota quality thing is a bit overstated (had a few issues with a Corolla, too).
right now I am just trying to decide what things I am adding to it, what kind of lift to get, etc
Regarding the earlier post about rusted frames. They apparently corrected that. Plus, there are a lot of people who had their frames replaced for free by Toyota OR were handed a huge check for like $10k or more. Those people just used the money to buy a new one.
I also like the Tundra but do not like the fuel mileage. It is around 13mpg if you are lucky. The new Tacoma is getting around 24mpg.
I was about to buy a 2015 in Jan but then saw the changes they were making to the 2016 and decided to hold out.
So, I am selling a 2003 Explorer Sport Trac if anyone is interested. It is in pristine condition but has 180k miles.
The Canyon felt like a tin can.
