What do you LIKE most about your 2nd gen.

Plenty of cup holders!

 

Soooo true. 6 in a regular cab and no reason to be dehydrated haha

 

The gas mileage.

 

my favorite thing about mine is i can't kill her, she takes a lickin'n keeps on tickin' lol! put her through 2' deep mud, sand, snow, water and run her at 4000 to 6000 rpms on the interstate for hundreds of miles, still runs like new

fav stock feature is having a year model pre-runner with REAL LSD, not break assisted.

also having the high output alternator has been a godsend, the inverter (i ran it into a power strip inside cab) has come in handy for small stuff ( i have large ones for power tools etc, again the alternator comes on handy) considering when responding to distsaters i have lived in it for weeks sometimes

as for aftermarket mod's too many to pick a favorite

cheers,
disco

 

And not a Nissan.

 

so far so good liking the interior...hope i can get the kind of millage ive been seeing around here...its a bit sad as it will likely never see a dirt road even tho its
a daily driver trd OR

 

Why not? Plenty of dirt to find in central MA.

 

That's like having a doge and not ever letting it play.

 

Simple....

Looks good, drives good, has every bell and whistle available, and I have pretty much finished the mods other than a new rear bumper and maybe sliders.

Hey guys,
I'm a new member, but have relied on this sight for some common & not so common answers related to issues i've had on my 06 Taco!
This site is great!

I think my truck is great! 200k plus & I cant count the repairs on 1 hand!
I've read about several issues some of you guys have had & I must say knock wood I haven't had any of them.
Especially the braking issue i've read, i must say since day 1 that the brakes have been 1 of the best features! This truck stops! & freakin stops fast!
I've used this truck for the past 7.5 years as a work truck driving a min of 100 mi a day from long island to nyc & beyond & beat the crap out of it on the nyc roads,loading & overloading it & it never lets me down!
This is my 4th toyota truck & between them i have over 700k without any real major repairs!
Gotta love them toyota's!
Glad to be a member.

 

the only dirt roads or trails i ever found were power lines access road,not saying there not there just never found any that weren't private property,thats why i sold the quad couldn't ride anywhere

 

haha at first i thought you mispelled dodge but i should know better than that , you meant dog and from past experience every time the dog played it ended costing me dearly ,

 

just love that steering wheel! thinking' 'bout getting' some paddle shifters for it. kiddin' kiddin'

 

It's paid off !!!

 

It drives like a tank in the mud/snow and is comfortable on the highway

 

Best looking midsize on the road.
Best color options on any truck by far.

The best wheeling you can find in mass is through clubs. They have access to a lot of private land for group runs.

 

When I was offered the option of getting a company truck, or a vehicle allowance, I was hung up because with a payment and insurance I couldn't buy the Taco with the vehicle allowance. So I asked if I could get a Tacoma as a company truck instead of the usual Silverado and they went for it!
So, the best thing about my 2014 Taco is that it was free! But honestly it is by far the best looking truck on the market, mid or full size. Couple that with the fact that I can park it and my Avalon in the driveway side by side without banging doors together, and the steering wheel stereo controls are a killer feature. I had them on my last Dodge 1500 back in 2000, but I immediately swapped in a new deck which didn't support them so they were just dead buttons on my wheel, but now I practically never touch my stereo directly. Its geeky, but hey its simple and safer, too.

 

I love all the cupholders. Nothing like 'wheeling through the snow with eight 32oz slurpies and cups of coffee under absolute control!

Also, you can (sometimes) score decent, useful parts relatively cheaply.

 

Paid for!
