The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) provides 3
different ratings -
full-width frontal crash test
,
side impact crash test
, and
rollover resistance
. The frontal crash test indicates how
well the safety features and restraints
will protect an occupant in a head-on
collision. The side-impact test conveys
the chance of a severe chest injury,
while the rollover resistance rating
estimates the risk of rolling over in a
single vehicle crash.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS
|
|
Description:
|
On certain pickup trucks, during side impact testing, a flange at the rear end of the double cab body deformed and interfered with the fuel inlet hose that connects the fuel filler pipe and fuel tank, resulting in damage to the fuel inlet hose. This damage could result in fuel leakage, which could result in a fire if in the presence of an ignition source. Dealers will install a fuel hose protector on the body flange. Owner notification is expected to begin during July 2003. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331.

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT
|
|
Description:
|
On certain sport utility vehicles, due to a manufacturing issue in the front suspension lower ball joint, there is a possibility that the surface of the ball of the joint may have been scratched. The ball joint may eventually experience excessive wear and looseness, resulting in increased steering effort. The lower ball joint may separate from the knuckle causing loss of steering control and a crash could occur. Dealers will replace the front suspension lower ball joints. The recall is expected to begin on July 15, 2005. Owners may contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331.

Summary:
|
A truck for all reasons.
By Dean Stevens, NewCarTestDrive.com
You can't beat Toyota pickups for quality, durability and reliability. So look no farther if those benefits are at the top of your list. Overall, the Tacoma is an impressive package.There are bigger trucks and there are more powerful trucks than the Tacoma. But there are few 4x4 pickups that offer the combination of style, comfort, and rugged performance that you'll find in the Tacoma Xtracab 4X4 Limited. The Double Cab (introduced last year) adds rear seating or some needed interior cargo space. Mitch McCullough contributed to this report. |
|
Overview:
|
Toyota knows what compact truck buyers want, and its Tacoma pickup delivers the goods. Toyota Tacoma boasts a heritage of solid service as a work truck along with a hard-earned reputation as a winning off-road race truck. Toyota makes a Tacoma to fit almost any work-related or recreational pursuit. The Tacoma line starts with a simple two-wheel-drive work truck loaded with nothing but quality, durability and reliability. The line tops out with fancy four-wheel-drive models.
