    Another good place to stick a toggle switch is in the power supply to the ignition coil. If you hide the switch in an easy access location it isn't a big hassle to use and is another layer of protection from theft. Not many thieves will try to repair a vehicle that won't start.

    I have the same year and model with 256k on it. I bought it new. It runs smooth and the AC is super cold on the hottest days here in San Antonio. The only thing I’ve had to change, other than regular maintenance, is the water pump and that surprisingly was the same price at Autozone. Either way, I buy dealer parts only for my truck, they last longer. Places like eBay are full of them for this truck, love it! I switched out the headlights for new ones last summer and the truck looks brand new again!!! I don’t mean to brag but almost every time I take my truck to Discount Tire to balance and rotate my tires, some guy, usually about Scotty’s age, will ask me about my truck and some time during mid conversation will offer me “10k cash right now” (their words). I smile and tell them, I love my truck, it’s not for sale. We’ll keep talking a bit more and the guy will ask me again, “10k cash right now, my bank is down the street!” FYI, if you ever see one of these for sale and it’s in good condition, snatch it up because it won’t be for sale long! Just my opinion but I don’t like the new Tacoma’s, they are too big! My neighbor has one and I thinks it’s beautiful but mine does better on gas!🙂 Wish Toyota would bring the Hilux to the states!

  • @Dcc357

    These first gen Tacomas come with a sport mode button called "ECT PWR." Makes a world of a difference in acceleration for city driving, and gas mileage stays the same at 17-19 MPG. I keep mine on! ECT PWR off sucks and makes the transmission upshift gears way too early and makes an already sluggish truck more sluggish. Keeps engine in better RPM range for power.

    Scotty, I’m really surprised at you! True, it may be only a 2wd, but this would’ve been a great avenue to explain to non-Toyota truck enthusiasts “what makes a PreRunner a PreRunner” and not just a plain and basic 2wd. What’s so cool about these trucks is that they have, from the factory, a push-button E-Locker for the rear differential! You can go quite far, given factors, in a 2wd truck with a locked rear end and that’s what these Tacoma’s prove. Great for blasting around in the sand and dirt. That’s what inspired this neat sub model; racing! Have a great day everybody.

Began hard shifting at 300k miles cuz I never changed transmission fluid after switching to full synthetic at 80k. Replaced trans fluid two qt at a time. Now it Runs great And shifts great. 309,000 miles so far.

    This is my truck. 2004 Tacoma double cab. 3.4 Lt V6 Automatic. It is the best truck I have ever owned, including much newer Ford 150 and 250. I bought it 4 years ago with 155K miles, off a man who sold it because his 16 year old kid was destroying it in the New Hampshire deep woods, going fishing with it. The body is scratched and dented, and the front bumper had been ripped off. He replaced the bumper for me, and sold it to me for 7500. My mechanic said the same thing you did, He has never worked on one of these transmission in his career (of over 45 years) He told me it is the same transmission used in some Volvos.
    She ain't pretty, but she always starts, runs smooth. I get 18 mpg in winter, and 21-22 in summer. I have 195K on it now. I drive like the old man I am now haha. Oil change every 3000 miles. I need this to last the rest of my life.
