- today I take a look at a 2001 toyota tacoma. these trucks are still expensive today. are they really worth what you're paying for or are you better off buying an s10, ranger or a half ton chevy truck. is this just another expensive toy like a jeep? Are the frames really as bad as what they say? would you cough up the money to be driving a toyota or are they overrated? #auto #automobile #automotive #car #chevy #classic #gmc #guide #review #reviews #manual #toyota #tacoma #overland #offroad #information

I have a 2002 pre runner, bought it new and still drive it daily. Haven’t had a car payment since 2008.
Nothing wrong with that man! Check out my last video. I'm a fan of cheap or paid for cars
The Tacoma is one of the best trucks ever for the bang of the buck NEW... I personally would never buy a used one, but back in the day, they were worth very penny.
@GroundWater2 that's a good point. New 20 or 30 years ago they were absolutely the best value for money
Often times you get what you pay for!
That frame rot on your Sequoia was a sad discovery
Heart breaking!
I would only want a Toyota if it has the same exact pristine paint job as this one
Custom paint jobs like this one are pretty sought after
The Tacoma PreRunner V6 SR5 extra cab is the only one to get. It’s literally a 4Runner 4x2 with jump seats, sliding rear window and a bed. That thing is just a Toyota pickup. No power, no suspension, no nothing.
I think people tend to lump them all together though
@@junkyardjoe1994 Cant understand why…park them next to each other. They don’t even look like the same truck. Which makes sense. They aren’t.
I'm guessing that's the one you have..haha
@@tylerhoneycutt4862 🙄Had. Back when it was brand new. From 1999 to 2001. Flipped it upside down up at Mt. Baldy. Got a 996 cabriolet to replace it. Course I was a young man then. Now I’m driving a GX470 with 325k miles on it. Love the thing!
I hear you about the rusted frames. I own a 2003 that I bought new. A 2.7 4WD. It's always been garaged. It's never seen snow or salt and the frame is great. I think it's about time to move on though.
It's a shame because I do like them in general. Jeeps and toyotas always seem to have frame issues and it's just a tough pill to swallow when buying them
I had a '99 V6 extended cab Tacoma 4x4. It was small, lightweight, fast and practical. Fit the wife and pup easily. Sold it with a ton of miles for $12K.
Every truck made since (until the Ford Maverick) is too big, too heavy, too slow or too thirsty.
Trying to get that new Tacoma SR5 Xtracab but supposedly they're only building 1 out of 20 new Tacomas this way. Got to test drive a new one last weekend, the new engine and transmission is excellent. Does 72+ MPH under 2K RPMs and doesn't struggle.
They definitely hold their value! Just have let me down a few too many times
Are there any 2001 S10s or Rangers still around?
im getting a 2000 Xtra Cab Tacoma SR5 with 25k miles
Thats crazy about the MPG! I get an average of 16 mpg in my 22 Ram 2500 Cummins while hauling 3 thousand pounds of batteries!
Hard to compare to a cummins. There's never been a motor that you've been able to have your cake and eat it too as well as a cummins. Great mileage and power
You are absolutely right!!@@junkyardjoe1994
Some maniacs in CA are still asking 16-18k for em. 🗿
I always say there's an ass for every seat. California happens to be full of them 😆
@@junkyardjoe1994 mind you, these are clapped out, 200k-300k mile trucks, and these crack pipe smokers are asking taht much. Some with low milage like 60k on the odo want 20k. i think i may opt for a z71 but CA fuel prices may get crazy.
What sucks is that Toyota wasn’t responsible for those rotten frames …. They paid another company take make the chasis … now they’re alot better though
Well I sure hope they've improved. I had a 2012 tacoma in a couple weeks ago and it was rotten in the very same spot.
While your truck is rated for 3k pounds, it’ll do more. 5k easy with the manual. I wouldn’t push that without knowing brakes and lines are in good shape. Not something you should do consistently but much better than a 2.2 s10 will do and it will do it without shitting out the gearbox. 😊
7:50 truth as fuck. Every farmer around here has a 2000-2010 Chevy with 270k on it.
i have 3 first gen tacos 👍🏽🍻
Those are the real deal and my absolute favorite. Really after this generation in my video the quality really starts to fall. Mostly because they started being made in america unfortunately
Excellent trucks. I red line my 2.7 all manual single cab truck. 4x4 works great. It will do 0-60 in a considerably fast time for what it is. Frame rust and lower ball joints are an issue. The double cardan is a PITA on the driveshafts. A very stout truck. I haven’t blown it up yet, and every time I drive it it gets mashed to 5-6k rpm every time. It owes me nothing and it’s rusted out. Check the oil once in a while and watch the coolant temp it’ll go 250k miles without issues. The 2.4 I believe lacks balancing shafts and is regarded as the better motor to boost, and I believe they also have thicker cylinder walls on the 2RZ.
However, these trucks are boring as fuck without a wiggle stick. The 3.4 is not my favorite Toyota engine but they hardly ever give issues other than heads and gaskets at 200k miles.
They are good trucks and I really hated to dog on them some. I know they'll bat way above their weight class and outlast lots of other brands but it's a tough pill to swallow with the price of them these days. I had lots of them in my younger years and I'm sure I'll end up with a few more in my lifetime
@@junkyardjoe1994 it is absolutely. I paid my share of Toyota tax but at least now I know what I can reasonably fix and have around for more than 2N years. Dependable machines for sure tho. Love mine, always.
Overrated, seen so many of them with the whole wheel assembly just falling off
Yeah lower balljoints are not too impressive on them
I bet you’re happy your wife made it necessary for you to get a different vehicle
She sure knows way more than I do
can I get your email
Sure it's blancha.jb@gmail.com
