Spend some time on Tacomaworld.com and make sure to do plenty of research on them. They have quite a few common problems, most notably with the transmissions going bad. I was just about to sign the papers for one, but I wasn't all that excited about it. My main complaint was the lack of power and constantly downshifting to maintain speed on the highway.
I ended up ordering a Chevy Colorado turbo diesel instead. I would heavily consider the Colorado/Canyon "twins" in your search. I'm not saying that the Tacoma is a bad truck, it's just that the twins are better in a lot of different areas. Coloradofans.com is a good forum for those.
On a side note, I think it's awesome that the midsize truck market is going to get competitive again. Nissan Frontier will get a LOOOONG overdue makeover, Ford is reintroducing the Ranger, Jeep and Fiat will be coming out with their own trucks and there's always the Ridgeline for those that prefer cock.
