 Just trying to help all that are looking into purchasing a Tacoma.  This truck is good over all, yes it does have its minor flaws in the design and seems to have common problems with all us owners.  It works good for me since I am single and do quite a bit of hauling and driving.  The gas mileage is good on highways but poor in town, the rattles that everyone is having, I too have up around the dash.  The outside noise comes from the way the wind wraps around the side of the cab and not the rear wall.  I still love this truck because it is reliable and is worth almost what I paid for it.  One thing I hate is when I am braking and hit a bump, the anti-lock kicks in and causes me to slide a bit.
