If it's a V-6 engine the filter is located underneath the driver's side just inside where the frame is, on the 4 cylinder it's located under the intake manifold near the front of the engine.
Your Tacoma may not have an internal gas filter. I can`t remember how the bottom looks. I suggest calling the dealer to ask them if they sell a gas filter and ask the location...
Try soaking it down with WD-40 and letting it sit for a bit. Usually you can heat up a sticky screw/bolt and get it to break, but since youre next to the gas tank, its not recommended.
Oil filter on a 2000 Toyota Tacoma Prerunner with 6 cylinder IS a screw on filter located on the drivers side front of the engine (just beneath the alternator).
Can't recall the size but, you need a socket with extension to get to the bolts holding the skid pan then, wiggle/lift it from it's hooks. Then, you can either cuss, cuss, cuss while removing the old and installing the new OR, jack the drivers side up 4 to 6 inches ( gives you a bit more wiggle room and keeps you from scraping your elbow to the bone on whatever surface you're working on).
Even then, be ready for a good cussing bout because there still isn't much room.
Some gravel has gone down the latch holes on each side. Take the tailgate out and place it on something that won't scratch it like an old blanket. Turn it upside down each way and gently tape on it with your hand to dislodge the gravel while operating the latch.
