What made you buy your first taco?

wanted to impress the salesperson.

 

I was at the NISSAN dealer to see if they could locate a Black 2wd KC. The salesman was a TOTAL MORON and didn't even want to START to look for a truck without a downpayment. I walked out of the dealership and across the street and bought the only Taco on the lot; my 2.7 4x4 manual.

 

When i was a kid my parents had a Tacoma pickuP, 4 cyl. Motor, I think it was a Tacoma, like a 94 model or somethin, I loved the ruggedness of it, the large tires, it would go anywhere, snow, mud, water... I had a jeep wrangler, and two ford rangers prior to gettin my Tacoma , and was so unsatisfied with the ford trucks, all the problems I had with them, I knew toyotas were bombproof and held their resale value like no other. Don't get me wrong I loved my jeep, but I could only do so little with it. I test drove many tacomas, and for the money I liked the base model sr5. I have had it for over a year, the motor is starting to produce better fuel mileage, it's smooth, quiet, loads of power, looks great, I put some good tires on it, and now it goes wherever I want it to go! Basically got it because toyotas are... In one word...EPIC!

 

i had full sized trucks most of my life and i was getting tired of the upkeep on them (gas, maintenance, repairs, etc..) and i was tired of their size... trying to park them in los angeles was getting annoying. so i wanted a smaller truck and the tacoma was the best choice out of all the makes.

although, i do miss the power, comfort, and cruisability of the full size trucks. but i love my tacoma more for all the other reasons

 

Well I wanted one a few years ago due to liking one my Father in Law had (01 four door). The only thing I did not like was he had the 2wd 4 banger model, but it was a super truck! I had a 2 door Jeep JK and we had another Son on the way, so wifey and myself took a ride to see what was out there and I found a one owner silver TRD sport, with 4 doors and the long bed. I drove it and liked it pretty good. I went home and looked up everything I could think of, and found TW in that search. when I found out there was just as big of a following and support for the Tacoma, I was not worried about anything else. I went back Friday that same week, and began talking money. Drove it again and took it home. I have done other things to it now that have made me like the truck even more, so I am a huge fan and it has been a fun truck to own!

 

1. Tacos are built strong.

2. Tacos are the best looking truck made.

3. Tacos are Quick.

4. Tacos last.

5. Tacos are reliable.

6. Tacos are practicle.

7. Tacos have high resale.

Nuff Said?

 

8. Taco's come with lettuce, cheese and tomatoes

 

I wanted one ever since I was alittle kid. Last week the head gasket blew on my '96 camry so it was a good excuse to finally get that tacoma I've always wanted.

I still remember when I was 8 yrs old and we were at the dealer buying that '96 camry that my mom eventually sold to me. I brought home abunch of tacoma brochures and kept saying that's what I wanted to get when I could drive... now I've finally got it.

 

My dad had one he had ordered, an 06 DC white TRD sport with long bed brand new in 06. I had already moved out. but once I found out about the buy. The vehicle I had "started running funny" and I simply had to borrow his truck to get from point a to b. Even though I had to drive to his house to go pick it up.

I now have a 2007 DC white TRD sport short bed.

 

I wanted a truck that would still be running by the time the payments ran out.

 

When I was in HS my cousin who lived in CA had a 90 with a 3 inch lift and 32x12.50x16. After I graduated I moved to CA he had a 92 w a 6inch susp lift and a 3 inch body lift w 37's. I bought my first Toyota pick in 97 it was a 94 w low miles 2wd 4 cyl, I lived in TX so didnt need a 4x4. Only added K&N air filter to it way to much for body lift or susp lift. 2008 I got my 05 and was able to get everything I wanted to it fairly cheap and have been happy with it ever since!!! sorry so long winded.......

 

My 1st and last truck was a S10 V6 rusted out with wiskey dents all down both sides {bought that way}, needed something to get my dirtbike around. Finally broke down and bought my first toyota in 05, I figured if I was going to spend my money it was gonna be on something nice. Truck has been awesome, I see myself in a taco for a very long time.

 

Best looking and performing 4x4 in it's class.

 

I actually was shopping for a Tundra. While waiting for them to get it ready for me to test drive, I decided to take a Tacoma for a spin and fell in love it!

 

Found one at a good price while I was looking for a newer truck. I wasn't dying for a Tacoma; I think most of the options are pretty good for the midsized truck. I will say that it is a pretty nice vehicle.

 

Bought a truck because hitchhiking is PITA!

 

I wanted to step up from a van, but did not want a bigtruck. Test drove several differenttrucks, liked the Tacoma.

 

Because roadkill is not as much fun in a Saturn

 

Bought mine because of the reliability and the beating they take. I don't beat mine but I've seen em do amazing things stock compared to all the others. Plus it was a personal sale from a friend and a damn good deal. '97 ext cab 4wd 4cyl. Paid $5500 for it. 3 payments n sold it back for just under $12k. Bought an '08 sr5 4cyl. Traded it last december for a '11 v6 sport 6speed

 

My brother in law ( at the time) was a tech at a Toyota dealership. He had an 88 model, manual,reg cab, that he had let me drive and 4 wheel in the Florida sand. I loved it. When he got ready to buy a bigger truck I purchased his Toyota. I didnt take good care of it but it didnt matter. That truck was a beast.
