My 2001 Tacoma currently has 88,000 miles on it. What is the current
thought regarding when to have the timing belt replaced? What else is
it good to do at the same time, while the engine is apart?

I should have included that it is a double cab with the V-6 engine.

Just call a dealer and ask what the specs are. It probably is the same
as my '99 Tacoma which is 90K for the belt. Replacing the water pump is
a good idea as there is almost the same labor involved to change it
later. If in doubt, change the belts driving the alternator, etc.

Some may tell you that the V6 is a non interference engine, so don't
change the timing belt change until it fails. In my case I drive in some
remote areas where the tow charge would be as much as the belt
replacement.

I have a 2000 V-6 Prerunner. I believe the book says 90,000 miles. I had
mine done at 60,000 because we live in the desert. I found my water pump
seeping at that time. I prbably would change the water pump if I were you.

I did my 99 around 90 K, belt looked good, but I figure it is cheap
insurance. Also did water pump, front CS seal and all other belts.
