The Toyota Tacoma got a makeover for 2001, including a new front fascia, taillights, and headlights. Toyota also added two new Tacomas to the lineup, the S Runner and the Double Cab. The interior was also improved, with a smattering of cosmetic changes and improvements to the seats, including improved lumbar support in the optional bucket seats and a 60/40 split rear seat in the extended cabs.
The 2001 Toyota Tacoma came in a wide variety of trims, which included the Regular Cab 4WD, Xtracab 4WD, Xtracab V6 4WD, Double Cab V6 4WD, Regular Cab 2WD, PreRunner Regular Cab 2WD, Xtracab 2WD, PreRunner Xtracab 2WD, S-Runner Xtracab V6 2WD, PreRunner, Double Cab 2WD, PreRunner Xtracab V6 2WD, and the PreRunner Double Cab V6 2WD .The new Double Cab models offered four doors instead of two, and extra room in the extended cab. The S Runner was the sporty model, offering sport-tuned suspension.
Drivers like the 2001 Toyota Tacoma because it is small and basic, but still suits their needs when something needs to be hauled or towed. Owners of the truck also say it performs well off-road and like that there are a lot of options to chose from. Some drivers say that the bed is too small and the storage compartments are inconveniently located.
What owners say
"Overall, drivers are very satisfied with the 2001 Toyota Tacoma, praising its reliability, performance, and simplicity. Many appreciate its solid build and ability to perform well in various conditions, like off-roading. However, some drivers wish for additional interior space, particularly in the single cab model, and find the back seating uncomfortable. Overall, it's seen as a trustworthy truck that holds its value well."
I have over maintained my truck just to see how long it will last. Got 160,000 miles and never misses a beat. Looks and runs like I just drove it off the showroom floor - which I did back in 2001!
June 19, 2012Rock solid, reliable, and decent gas mileage (with the 2.7L)! I've had this truck for a few years now and have taken it on some serious off roading with no real problems. If it's good enough for the Taliban it's good enough for my Minnesota excursions!
August 26, 2009There isn't anything I didn't like about this truck except that it was bought before it was known that our family would grow. Now that it has we have to get something bigger. If it weren't for that, we'd be keeping it until it disintegrating.

March 14, 2013Best truck I've ever owned ! I have always driven a 90' pickup before buying this truck because I didn't like the looks of the Tacomas when they first came out !! Glad I changed my mind. As long as you don't need to tow much , this is an excellent little truck an respectable as far as gas mileage goes !
February 2, 2012Toyota is the best car/truck on the road..they last longer and have fewer problems than any other car/truck i have ever owned. Just ask any parts store.. " what kind of auto do you sell the most parts for?"...answer "Jeep" then ask "what do you sell the least parts for?" they will say "Toyota".
September 19, 2011Super reliable, runs like new, slow, but the four wheel drive works great. It still looks almost new. No rust what so ever. Cold air conditioning, every power option works like new. Runs smooth and quiet. I would definitely buy another one
February 18, 2010I loved everything about this truck! only thing I did not like was not a lot of room in front because of its a reg cab . its not a grocery getter but it is a very nice looking truck an I hate to see it go.
March 24, 2014I love the look, how it rides and drives, its dependability and mpg. I do not care for the small, uncomfortable flip seats in the back and lack of leg room. I would recommend the 4 door with bench seat in back if using for a family vehicle.
September 16, 2013There are very few things I dislike about this truck. The overall look and appearance is great and the vehicle being 11 years old is in good condition. The only replacement that has been done as far as out of pocket expense was the window wiper motor.
November 15, 2012A little rough, due to an extra Leaf Spring with the TRD package, but a new suspension will end that problem. I also wish that there was a little bit more room in the Extra Cab model. Besides that I love it and would recommend it to anyone looking for a solid truck that has a good MPG rating.
