1998 4x4 Tacoma
 I bought this truck new in 98 and have never had any problems.  Only expenses have been reg maint and gas. In the snow this veh is unstoppable.  Best truck I have ever owned.  The 2.7 4 cyl is a little low on power, but has never really been a problem. I always average about 20 mpg. After 155,000 trouble free miles I would only replace it with another identical Tacoma.
