I need to know what one I have? Also what recalls can get them to fix?
#1 problem, it will never break down, you are stuck with it for life
That's what I want to hear. These trucks have had this reputation for some time. Going to look at a single owner, 2012, TRD crew cab 4x4 with 60k miles.
Don't really care about the TRD part but the truck is priced right and comes with all service records. Will let you know.
i wouldnt consider that a problem
Agreed, it loves u so much it decides to stay with u for life...
@@400hpmustang Of all the Tacoma's, the 2.7 liter 3RZ-FE 4-cylinder engine is proven to be the most durable of them all. It replaced the famous 22re engine which was/is equally as durable, but the 3RZ has a good bit more power due to being larger. The 3RZ-FE was made from 1994 through 2004, a 10 yr production run. They have a heavy duty steel timing chain & gears vs the timing BELT used on the V6's. The 3RZ also was produced before the variable valve timing that requires that nearly water-thin oil. I bought a 2000 Tacoma 4x4 with 3RZ-FE engine & automatic transmission brand new. 20 yrs later and 362,000 miles on ALL original engine & drive train, it runs as good as ever. I just replaced the timing chain & gears plus the balance shaft chain for the very first time.........which is "a no-no" because they should be replaced after 150,000 miles. If a timing chain OR belt breaks on ANY overhead cam engine, you drop valves on pistons, busting the pistons & now ya need a total rebuild. Many gripe about the 3RZ "lacking power". The easy fix is INSTALL A QUALITY STAINLESS STEEL ( preferably ceramic coated ) LONG-TUBE HEADER. ( The factory cast iron exhaust manifolds always crack anyway. ) I've installed headers on several V8's I've owned yrs ago with no other mods.......I noticed a slight power gain, but nothing to brag about. But I'm here to tell anyone, I have never seen an engine respond so well to a header only, like the 3RZ-FE. It really brought this thing to life.......even better than when it was brand new. It's now much quicker from take off and decent power gains throughout the entire rpm range. It even causes the automatic transmission to be more responsive by downshifting easier with only a decent "poke" of the throttle. Had I known what a difference a header makes in performance for this thing, I would've done it years ago. My buddy is a Toyota tech/mechanic. He knows everything about all Toyota's. He says the 3RZ will outlast all of the newer engines with variable timing. Sure, the VVT Toyota's are durable as well, but not nearly as much. I'm just about convinced this little truck is going to outlast me......and I'm 59 yrs old, lol. Best vehicle purchase I ever made, hands down. Cheers.
yep
Got a 2014 base model 4x4. No extras, vinyl flooring, 4 cylinder w/ 5 spd and hands down the slowest thing I've ever driven. I absolutely love it. No frills, no BS kinda vehicle. The closest thing to a Hilux.
Lucky!
I have a 2011 but auto. 4 cyl is awesome on fuel
I drove a deseil Hulux in the Bahamas. I loved it
“Vehricles”
Lol 😁 I know right 😂
I’m so glad someone else said it
THAT WAS DRIVING ME INSANE

Not as much as my guy Scotty Kilmer. One of the best car related youtubers on the site!!
He used to be a cheerleader in high school. Had a scholarship and everything
Thanks for pointing that out. Fawking hikarious
That was the very first thing I noticed and was going to tell him to stop with arm movements. LMAO
Just looked up Vehicle in the dictionary, didn’t see an R in it.
Owned a 2006. 296k miles in 3 years of driving. Mobil-1 5w30 once a month. Only problems I really had was having to replace the front wheel hubs. Learn how to do your own maintenance is a plus. Most dependable vehicle I've owned.
going to buy a 2005 sr5 4.0 v6 tacoma with 4wd, it has 208k km and is pretty clean for 10k canadian think it's a good deal?
@@ferociousfishing927 That's a good buy at where prices are now on new trucks.
@@ferociousfishing927 A lot cheaper than options I see near me in USA midwest.
I am original owner with a 2005 SR5. My leaf spring broke and was banging on the gas tank. Toyota replaced the leaf springs and shocks at no cost to me. Best truck I ever owned.
Glad I know what to look for on my vericle now, thanks
+RJJR Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
I dont think he got it lmao
I noticed that too!
I am a committed Toyota owner for many years. It is a vehicle that you just typically service (maintenance) and rarely if ever have to repair (something died or broke). They are head and shoulders above all vehicles, in my opinion, due to their quality and engineering designs. I have seen many Toyota's passed down after being driven by the primary owner with hundreds of thousands of miles on them, but still reliable and start consistently, to others in their family because they are so cost-effective to own over American and other foreign makes (Japanese, Korean, and European) That's my 2 cents after having worked in the auto repair industry for 30 years. Thanks for reading my response, but I know not everyone shares my thoughts and agrees, which is cool. Take care and be safe, and wear your mask out and about for consideration to others!
+David Rosenblatt Thanks for the feedback!
@@1AAuto your welcome.
Just bought a 2013 TRD and I absolutely love it only has 100,000 miles runs like a beast
Does the 2014 Tacoma looks exact the same as a 2006 or 2009 Tacoma?
I got 07 with 100,000
Nice me too but 98,000 rn
I have a 2010 they did all the recalls I’ve had no problems. It’s the best truck I’ve ever owned!!
I as well I take care of it. And it does the same
I have a 2006 Tacoma. My leaf springs were replaced by the dealer on a "factory callback ", at no cost to me. Still strong at 276000 km.
The only issue that I saw in my tocona 2005 is the ABS brakes nothing else you don't see at Tacoma's in the workshops, or junk
Same here 282k miles
444178km on mine w/helpers on the original springs and no issues either and mine's an 07
I also have a 2006, just realized my frame is rotting. When did they replace this? Thanks.
That is only 171.4 miles not much.
i've done the helper spring thing with mine before they flattened out and so far it's working beautifully
300k and running strong
I’ve had my 2nd gen for 5 years and not one of these has occurred. Not only best truck, but best vehicle I’ve ever owned.
Dang... I want one 🙏🏼
I have a 2005 Tacoma bought it brand new in 05. Still have it and I love it . Toyota replaced. The frame. lower control arms. leaf springs and modified the gas pedal per recall so the only money I have in the truck for 15yrs is new front hubs at $600 bucks and oil and coolant changes over the years my son still has my 1992 Toyota pickup and a 1996 T100 with 320,000 on it. I have owned Toyotas for over 35 yrs for me best truck on the planet
+1995dresser Thanks for the feedback!
I really appreciate your simple explanations and most of all that you don't praise or criticise a specific car manufacturer
+Mohamed Abodher Thanks for the feedback!
Scotty Kilmer be like the hell man
😂 fr bro
I have a 2008 Tacoma base model, 4 door long bed. 240000 miles. I have owned countless trucks since the early '70s. This is absolutely the best truck I have ver owned. Toyota gave me a new frame and new rear leaf springs in 2019. Eleven years out of warranty. Contrast that with Subaru that had a bad engine problem for 13 years and they would only cover them during the warranty period.
I have a 2013 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport 4x4 Double Cab. Bought it in 2015 with a little over 46,000 miles on it. I have well over 100,000 miles, no issues at all!! I had to replace the battery and did front brakes. I follow the maintenance schedule, new plugs, antifreeze flush, transmission service....runs Excellent. Toyota makes an excellent product.
Everything you mentioned here is taken care of with maintenance. I clean my throttle body every few years, I spray fluid film on my frame every few years. I take care of my truck. It still looks brand new after 180,000 miles and 9 years.
new to auto DIY. can you spray fluid film if it's already starting to rust?
Congratulations 🙏🏾
@@krgnet1573 you want to wire brush as much rust off as you can, get as much caked on dirt and mud off, then spray the fluid film, it'll protect it but you should do it every year, keep the fluid film off your rubber parts, if you spray it by accident, wipe it off. I'd suggest you watch some videos on it.
@@timothybagrowski643 thanks for the tip, mine is not rusty yet but will keep in mind. I love my truck and I used to take it for regular maintenance until I started to learned how to work on it myself and not only I’m saving some money on labor and some parts that can be cleaned before needing to replace but I’m learning to identify the issues before it’s too late and keep my truck in good shape even when it’s already over 290k mileages on a Toyota Tacoma 2012
2012 Trd offroad, my leaf spring cracked right where he said it would at 140k miles and my headlight lenses are getting cloudy. Great truck, we've gone over 100k together and I hope many more to come!
If you get aftermarket cheapy headlights, they aren't bad for the money, just make sure you take some silicone adhesive around where the 2 halves come together. You can see the sealing they used, but just to make sure, as water getting inside these are one of the big bitches about them. Again, can't beat the price. I paid $75 for 2.
So happy I bought this truck four years ago. Never have to worry about her breaking down on me
Thanks for sharing your wisdom buddy while I work on my taco
2006 Tacoma here, done tons of work on it myself. Only major replacement so far has been the alternator. 356,000 km running solid. I made a thread on tacomaworld on how to install 2012+ touchscreen stereo and bluetooth with microphone then replaced the door speakers with 6x9 inch and the sound quality is great. The stereo fits right in, only need an adapter
+Andrew Walker Thanks for the feedback!
Thanks for the video. I love my 2008 V8 DC Tacoma. 149k and still running great. Frame was checked and resealed and leaf springs replaced by dealer at no charge.
A good check list of things to look at if you're buying a 2nd Gen Taco.
Not really most are known issues and recall
I've been driving an ''05 Access Cab 4x4 TRD for 19 years and have had no problems with it. It runs like new and I'm as happy with it as the day I bought it new. Good vid.
Wow buddy, I'm a first time viewer and I have a 2010 PreRunner. Great advice and presentation as well. I'm having my final inspection on the frame before the 12 year period is up, but the dealer in Texas said it looked great. I live in WV now and plan on oiling the underside prior to winter like my tractor. I want this to be the last truck I need :) Cheers!
2014 Tacoma here. 165k, 1 dead battery, 1 clock spring, 4 sets of tires, 3 sets of front brakes. That’s all. Best truck I’ve ever had.
My Husky floor mats eliminates problem number 1 for me. They fit so perfect and are so easy to quickly take out and clean. Those and my UnderCover bed cover were great purchases.
Those are the best!! Had those in my 89 Toyota truck that I loved for 20 years. Just as durable as the truck. I put over 500k miles on that truck with only wear items replaced! Floor mats are currently in my 02 Tacoma xtra cab TRD 4x4 I just got 2 years ago due to wrecking Old Blue :( and still holding up! Lol cheers!!!
Got those. Love them. Get em muddy, hose em off, carpet still looks new.
I am lookin to buy a '14-'15 right now! I expected to have a lot more problems! They are right, these things are amazing trucks!

+Arthur B Thanks for checking us out! We will add these videos to our list! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Hi: problem #5. That is my problem with the leaf springs. Only 86k miles. Rough ride. Gonna take to my mechanic to assess and install Biltsteins all the way around. Can’t quite afford TRD package install yet. Very helpful indeed! Yeah!
I have 2011 TRD owned since new. Leaf springs where replaced free by Toyota under a recall about 2 years ago. Only issue I have ever had. 300,000KM, going strong.
Floor mat, really. This is the number 1 thing you want to talk about, just depress the clutch pedal. If you don't have a clutch pedal in your truck...well bless your heart. Keep up the good work and fun videos.❤👈
Nice video, helped me wash the dishes faster haha and learned some good information on this vehicle, keep em coming.
+Hector Emm Thanks for checking us out!
UPDATE 2023, 385,000 kilometers, STILL no issues. :) Routine maintenance only. Just had a new Pioneer stereo installed. I will own this truck until I die.
great vid....I learned a lot about my 2012 tacoma, bought new and now has 131K. thanks bud
Love your videos man. Very helpful!
Love the vids. I'm looking to snag a 2nd gen Frontier within the year. Hoping for a similar vid or anything I can get from you guys. Stay safe
Hi Jess! Great choice in vehicle! I will make sure to pass along your recommendation to our video studio.
I like the tacoma, but the frontier has a box frame and they never had any rust issues. The only real problem with frontiers is the factory radiator split internally. This causes the coolant and atf fluid to mix, causing transmission failure. So either get an upgraded radiator, or a manual transmission.
I experienced my battery light is on even though my truck is charging
I had a 13 TRD SPORT...i had DIAMOND KOTE applied when new on the frame....frame was solid after 7 years. I did replace both rear springs with after market springs sets and made truck ride nicer and tow our RV much better. Only real problem was my radio antenna...replaced all hardware twice because of excessive corrosion. Heated seat on driver side died in 2019. The rest of the time I had no issues at all.
Toyota is pretty good when it comes to taking care of the recalls
Thanks! Love y'all's parts.
Great info. Thanks for sharing.
+Edward Sabo Thanks for checking us out!
purchased a 2011 Tacoma TRD Off-Road recently as my first ever vehicle, trying to learn as much as I can about it, this video was very helpful, thanks!
They don’t have a 2011 Trd off road? 2nd gens usually had pre runners or x runners
I have a 2015 2.7 litre. Bought it with 60k, now have 140k. Not a single problem, outside of basic maintenance (oil changes, brakes).
I hope this truck will outlive me.
Helpful video. Nice to know what to look out for.
Just had both leaf springs, shackles, ubolts etc. All replaced on our 05 at the dealership on a recall. Went ahead and replaced shocks and struts too. It's like a new truck.
Great Video!! Thank you!

2007 with 120000 miles. Leaf springs and unjoints changed no charge on a Toyota recall. I Changed alternator and shocks at 95k. Well maintained by myself otherwise. Red paint is baked off in Texas sun. Frame is perfect though in dry Texas. It has been the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned.
How did you get Toyota to replace springs on an older.model? Maybe that's what's causing my bed to shake no one can seem to figure it out
2005 trd sport 4x4 6 speed manual, 240,000 miles driving from Texas to Montana to New Mexico. I need a new spiral cable/ clock spring. Other than that she runs like brand new!! It’s Ben buried in snow and ice for months at a time. Ben through the hottest desert, up very high mountains. Best truck ever!!!

I have a 2006 Tacoma with 375k miles on it... same engine same transmission. Really no problems to speak of.
I’m looking at one with 240k. I’m somewhat terrified to buy something with that many miles.
@@nathanaslin9719 how much $ were they asking ?
i had a 2000 tacoma in hawaii took it on the sand all the time 15 years later the frame and underneath looked good zero rust. when i washed the truck i would rinse out the frame rails and let the lawn sprinkler do the work
Happy with content. Very informative. If I got a major rust issue on 2nd Gen tacoma. Wondering if the dealer would honor the recall since they did a poor job on the coating. So I could get a new frame. Just curiosity now.
My 2007 Taco has all-new leaf springs and front coils from a 2020 Tacoma combined with new Bilstins 5100 shocks. The truck has 275,000km and rides like a new truck.
For anyone else looking at 2nd gen Tacoma’s - the 2005 Taco’s had head gasket issues, avoid if possible or make sure to check thoroughly if you are looking at a 2005 :)
😳
I’m an original owner of a 05 TRD PreReunner. None of those issues. Replaced broken rear shock and u-joint after 10 plus years. Temp/compass gauge went out and resoldered the old cold solder- twice. And a month ago gas gauge died. Sending unit was good. Low mileage 180k plus. Fender flair paint faded after 18 plus years outside 😢
Thank you very much!
+Armando Miranda Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
That generation has a leaf spring recall from Toyota. Had them done on my 2008 tacoma.
+stetkal Thanks for the feedback!
Had the frame swapped and the rest on my 08. Sport. 6m no problems. It's been great.
the tsb leafs are still absolute garbage
Excellent video!
Thanks for making this video
This is the video I’ve been looking for
Great vid! Thanks!!
My man conducting a symphony with all those hand gestures
If those are all the issues then damn we are golden.. not much to worry about.. Tacos for life!!
+reef4hmmm Thanks for the feedback!
The paint and sealer pealed on my 2008Tacoma. I’ve seen it on a lot of Toyota trucks . I know it’s not a mechanical issue perhaps still worth noting .
Regarding the accelerator pedal, Toyota just cut mine in half when I brought my truck in for a recall lol
I have a 2006 with 157,000 miles on it. I never had any of these problems. Because I live in the Oregon and Washington area, no salt is used on roads, even today it looks almost new on the underside. The dealership replaced my rear leaf springs as the recall and added another spring. Its now super strong and can hold up to 2300 lbs. as long as you aren't getting too crazy on hills. The only issues I've seen are the plastic head lamp covers, they are slightly fogged on the top side. But its not related to heat from the bulbs. When the truck is all cleaned up, I've had people think its only a few years old.
I'm just glad most of the parts he mentioned are very easy to replace, my main worries is the life of the engine and transmission which its unsurpassed by any other manufacturer, and it's what makes Toyota number 1 over Ford, Volkswagen, benz, Subaru, chevy etc... especially knowing that american cars have more plastic on the block and more unnecessary electrical components that could go wrong its a win for the manufacturer and a loss to the buyer.
I agree after owning 3 Toyota's and numerous other brand cars in the past 65 years. I consider my current 07 Tacoma w/ 205K Mi. On it a tremendous blessing.
About to go buy an 08 base 4x4. One of the last single cabs with hand crank windows. Reminds me of my youth.
Love my 05..307 K .. just got back in January 18 with brand new frame and brand new leaf springs from Toyota recall. On the first generation I had I received a big check and I took it away from me because of a rusty frame. I will never have a different brand of truck... Tacoma forever
Well I got 2 out of 5 checked off over the years! Springs and complete frame rebuild. I have an 07 trd with 245k. Love these trucks wouldn't and don't need anything more. Nice video guys!
Thanks this was really good. I’m in Utah
Had a 1998 until 205k miles then traded up in 2010. Still have the 2010 it's at 160k miles. It needs new wheel bearings for the 2nd time. First time was at 30k miles. Everyone is right these little trucks are almost indestructible. The dealer has caught all the recalls.
I love my 2005 TRD, it has never left me stranded but has the following issues - it blew through the AC compressor at 85K and now it has gone again at 157K. I have been fighting P0420 code which is catalytic converter so I put Iridium spark plugs in it and it went out for a year and came back. So then I cleaned the throttle body and it went out for 8 more months and now back again. So I will try the TPS sensor as you say. The frame was replaced in 2014 which is unheard of for any car manufacturer, and I do the Krown rustproofing treatment and I have no rust living in the north rust belt. It still shifts smooth as butter and and has excellent lights compared to new cars but they are getting smokey so maybe I will try your 1AAU headlights replacement. But I must say, I call this truck "Stormy" as it will trudge through any snowstorm or heavy downpour and always feels safe, it has a killer heater and it just feels beefy. It continues to have good power up our steep hills in this area, and can tow a decent trailer. I know I haven't changed my photo but I gave up my Silverado for this older vehicle, and it has been a good experience.
What are the symptoms of the AC compressor failing?
Great video
I like this video i just buy a 2009 prerunner v6 this information is really usefulled

I love Toyota though they take really good care of everyone we have bought Toyota’s since 2004 and I drove a 1st gen tacoma through highschool, bought a bmw 335i and a 2012 tacoma after high school and my dad bought a 2016 tacoma

Maybe not a top problem, but my '05 Tacoma had a plastic coolant by-pass line that broke and overheated my engine. I saw that this was a common problem and there is a stainless replacement line available. It should be replaced if anyone still has the plastic line.
I just replaced mine on my 06. It lasted over 15 years and 220k miles. Not bad. Installing it was a bit tricky though
I have 2005 Toyota Tacoma TRD double cub 6 feet pre runner V 6 SR,as of this time ,runs GREAT with one hundred ninety nine thousand plus ....no problem except my leaf spring recall they replace no coast TOYOTA TACOMA D BEST TRUCK
Awesome really professional

#1 is the blower fan. Known issue for these trucks. Many of us are on our third, fourth, or fifth one now. Toyota has upgraded them a couple of times to try and resolve the issue.
The A/C will only work on certain settings, usually high.
The pigtail wiring and the blower fan often need replacement at the same time.
I remember the 1st gen Tacoma trucks and these 2nd gen trucks, as a kid and teenager. For more economy than a full size truck and still having adequate hauling capability, you can't go wrong with these Tacoma trucks. However, if you don't need it, just get a Corolla or a Civic. It's from my experience, man.
The only problem I had had with my 2013 is the stud on the antenna broke off, replacement cost is a Hugh ripoff. I just used the repair kit on the headlights and they work great.
I'm proud owner of a 2009 Tacoma 4x4 with 230,000 miles. Finally had to replace the starter, but that's the only problem with otherwise a problem free vehicle.
My 2006 with 240,000 miles is having the starter problem along with a cruise control problem😂
How many miles now?...just purchased 1..with 170,000 miles and im a little nervous..hopefully I made a good decision
#1 on all Toyota's frame rot
Toyota just replaced mine. 2011 with 47,700 miles on it. It was shot
I have a 2007, crew cab, 4x4, 4.0 lit. engine. I have 150K miles. Have driven it to 5 other states. My truck has never let me down. Brought me home safe every time. I love it and will never give it up. I modified it a bit. Get 21 mpg. in the city and 24 hwy. Special plugs, maintain MAP sensor clean, Throttle body clean, Oxg. sensors clean. Tire pressure is the most important. Tacoma is an extremely reliable truck.
My 2013 daily driver runs as good as new. Oil changes and one set of brakes is all its needed in almost 8 years.
Same!
I had the rear leafs replaced under the factory recall on my 2011 TRD Off Road and the springs sagged within 3 months. I replaced them with OME Dakar rear leafs and have had no problems.
I have an 11 also! Was thinking of getting the ome for the extra payload. How much did they run you? I do mobile detailing and consistently have 400-500lbs in the bed with water tank/generator
I have owned my 2011 4X4 for almost 10 years and now have 255k miles on it. I have done just standard maintenance over that time. The only things that I have had to do multiple times is u-joints on the rear drive shaft three times. Front brakes twice, rear brakes twice because one of the axel seals started leaking and saturated the shoes. The rear leaf springs were recalled and replaced. I have not touched the shocks, ball joints or tie rod ends. I have never done an alignment either. The last set of tires I put on were Michelin LTX A2s, and they lasted 95k miles.
Great video!!!
