Why are Tacomas so popular in Oregon\Washington State?

^Yeah subies are nice.. Follow on IG: Boosted_Subies & facebook.com/BoostedSubies

 

Honestly I started eye balling the tacoma about a year ago and ever since I feel like every 20th car I see is a tacoma.

They seem to have become very popular during this body style

 

Ya the front just looks super aggressive on the 12+

 

cuz their AWESOME. Just click this and see ----> HERE

 

They seem to be popular everywhere.

 

Wife drives a subaru as well. If I ever buy another car, itll be a peanut eye sti.

 

Zombie thread but a good one. Yes, they are everywhere in Southern California, but damn, it's like the state-issued truck in Hawaii. Yet another reason I love going to that very, very weird yet awesome archipelago.

 

There's so many in my area too, just not enough of them on TW!

 

agreed! i thought they were common up here in washington until i visited maui for the first time early last month. holy crap, they were everywhere on that island! good taste prevails!

 

Speaking for the South, I think there is a lot more of the "American truck" brand loyalty, and a lot more hostility towards a foreign brands in general, especially among the majority of truck owners, and especially in the more rural areas. I have spent a decent amount of time on the West Coast (Cali, not Oregon/Washington), and noticed that mentality was much less prevalent there.

I think the post about the "born in a tacoma, so why wouldn't I drive one" mentality applies a lot the other way around. A lot of people I know grew up going hunting, fishing, and working in a ford/dodge/GMC. If it was good enough for their parents, and they have lots of positive experience with a brand while growing up, why shop elsewhere?

It's a shame that a lot of people don't consider Toyota trucks for these reasons, they miss out on some great vehicles.

 

Trails in the PNW are narrow so you need a mid size. That's my excuse.

 

This.... Plus Im brand loyal to Toyota

 

What she said! Tacoma will be every other truck you see in VT!

 

Not sure if you consider Kentucky south or not. Tacomas are popular here. Could be that there is a Toyota plant in Frankfort.

 

Absolutely! Tacomas are actually fairly popular here too, I see a lot in general, but I cannot tell you how many people I have met across NC, SC, and VA that have said they would never even consider looking at a foreign truck, regardless of size. Those comments were just based off of my personal observations, but I have seen a lot less of that in other parts of the country, and a lot less of that from people I have worked with outside of the SE and MW.

The trails comment is probably pretty accurate too. I know in W NC and VA, a lot of the trails and old logging roads are too tight in a lot of places for many full size trucks.

 

as quoted but with a little sugar.
Starbucks, Microsoft.... More thinking people who don't follow the herd and value quality over quantity.

 

count the fords chevy and dodges its all trk country mountains and rain

 

Really now? Too funny......

 

It's funny, the company I work for is based in Des Moines IA, and every time I go there for work all I see are Fords and Chevy's driving around. You rarely see a Tacoma. They are simple people...

 

X100,000,000

Last time I was on Kauai there seemed to be at least one at every light...

Truly amazing...
