What Owners are Saying About the 1998 Toyota Tacoma Regular Cab
"2nd owner, I got it at 210k miles it now has 342k."
"Single cab, 2.7 automatic 4x4. Been serviced meticulously since first oil change. Minimal down time, almost unbelievable. Was only a real fan of 1 vehicle before, that was 2000 Jeep Cherokee Xj with the straight six 4.0, until it put a rod through the block at 315k. Until I got this truck. I wont forsake my old Xj but if that jeep and the titanic ever birthed a creature it had to be the toyota tacoma. Only thing it could used to make it on par with the legacy of the XJ woulda been a little more go power. But I refuse to complain. I said that head held highest, because I promise on no other vehicle will u ever see a 2.7ltr engine do what they done here. They sure dont make em like this anymore"
"Best small truck ever"
"I have owned this truck for 16 years excellent condition"
"Toyota Tacoma = Investment"
"My 2001 Tacoma was purchased on the Mainland and brought to Hawaii when I moved in 01'. It has been the best investment in a vehicle ever. Over 314k Miles and only 1 Alternator, 1 set of of Fan Belts, 1 Starter and 1 fuel pump. I replaced the Alternator and Starter on my own. Change the oil and keep it clean and it will run, run and run. Oh and I forgot to mention that for the last 4 years I've been towing a 19ft boat almost every weekend to the water. Love my Toyota!"
