#240 of 539 Which Tacoma 4x2 Xtracab by dave_b Apr 30, 2004 (4:06 pm)
Seeking input/experiences...not sure what would be best standard or automatic, 2.4L, 2.7L or 3.4L.   Initially, I was not going to look at the PreRunner but they seem plentiful. Not sure if the automatic coupled with either the 2.7L or 3.4L would make more sense than the 2.4L coupled with either the standard or automatic...   Any opinions??   Thanks Dave Replies to this message: mtngal (May 02, 2004 3:54 pm)

Big disappointment in the emergency handling department plus they skimped on the automatic seatbelt retractors. Sheeeshh I m not asking for much...just dont be so greedy. I will not look at the Ford/Mazda trucks. More features for less money.

Replying to: dave_b (Apr 30, 2004 4:06 pm) Part of the answer depends on what your needs are.   I have a 2000 2WD XtraCab 4 banger with the MT. It is (barely) adequate for my needs - I often have to downshift to 4th gear to maintain 70 mph on part of my daily commute (the I5 Grapevine - a steep climb up into the mountains).   It is also a bit hair-raising to get on the freeway when you have to dodge slow-moving 18 wheelers and merge with fast moving cars (closer to 80 than 60). The auto would never work for me.   However, if you are planning on driving on mostly level city streets, the auto would probably be fine.

tell me what year the Tacoma changed it's automatic from the column shifter to the console? Thanks everyone!

From what I remember, Tacoma always had console mounted shifter, ever since it was released in 95.5
#245 of 539 my Tacoma by gop4ever May 21, 2004 (12:52 pm)
I've gotta say, I am soooo glad I got rid of that Ranger and switched to a Tacoma. I have the 2.7 4WD, 5sp, and I'm getting 25mpg. Same hp and torque as my old 3L Ranger (which got 19mpg at its best and it was a 2WD). Plus it's a relief to not be back at the dealer twice a month to have various things fixed (I guess 30K miles is old age for a Ford). By far this is the best vehicle Ive ever owned.

#246 of 539 Thanks, scOrpiO. I have a by autonuts May 23, 2004 (8:14 am)
further question. Can the tacoma actually sit 3 in the bench seat with the console shift?
#247 of 539 autonuts by sc0rpi0 May 24, 2004 (7:43 am)
Well.....I don't have bench seats, so I can't tell you. However, judging from the truck width, it's certainly possible, but it won't be too comfortable like in a fullsize.
#248 of 539 shifter by 2k1trd Jun 12, 2004 (3:31 am)
I am pretty sure that only the 2wd models came with the column shifter.
#249 of 539 02 Tacoma...2 or 4wd? by vintagemx Jun 13, 2004 (8:41 pm)
Hi all,   I'm looking for an 02 Tacoma for work and towing. I'll be towing a couple of dirt bikes and related gear. I live in the NE and was told to stay away from 2wd because of the snow. What are your experiences? What about 4 or 6 cylinder?   Thanks!
