Toyota Tacoma
Year: 2004
Equipment: 4-cylinder, 5-speed manual, 2WD
The last year of the first generation Toyota Tacoma found success not only with truckers but with beach bums and California hippies alike. The Tacoma may not be the cheapest new truck on the market but it sure does hold up its values well. We liked the first generation "Tacos" because of their reliability. It should be noted that recent complaints about this generation's inadequate rustproofing (specifically 1995-2000 year models) prompted the company to offer 15-year corrosion warranties to all Tacoma owners.
