What are some common problems with the Toyota Tacoma?

I’m a woodworker as a hobby, but I’m finally going to sell some of my works at a local market. I’m in the market for a used truck to pull my trailer. The Toyota Tacoma should get the job done, but I want to make sure that used models aren’t lemons. Are there any common problems with the Toyota Tacoma?

Keep an eye out for some of these common problems with the Toyota Tacoma:
  • Failure of the automatic transmission at around 75,000 miles
  • Premature wear on the ball joint, leading to a recall for models made between 2001 and 2004
  • High beams partially melting the plastic lens on the headlights
The
Toyota Tacoma
is a low-cost solution for hauling a trailer, but it still suffers from some major dependability issues. It ranks last in reliability for mid-size trucks according to RepairPal. Regardless of whether you own the truck under your personal name or your business name, you’re going to need a good insurance policy. Rather than looking at one quote at a time, use the
