Really love my tacoma and going to keep it for a long time but I think I have hit the wall on the things I want to do to it without going F/I so when I turn 21 or older I might jump into...

Always liked them, I keep AWD and it has a turboooo

jaxchrisfla · 10-18-2009, 06:45 PM

i plan to get rid of my xr soon. I just dont want to have payments anymore, and ive had as much fun as i could with it without going f/i.

Probably with the Tacoma redisign in 2013. But there is no guarantee. And who knows they may have something better planned for the Tacoma.

First thing is the SAS with a front locker!

From 2WD to 4WD. Sounds kinda expensive, don't you think it be better to start with a 4x4..... but it has been done before

Keeping my taco until the day I die!

yotarob2005 · 10-21-2009, 05:38 AM

My taco will pay off next year & I plan to buy my wife a new 4-runner so I will be keeping my taco long enough to pay that off, then get the next gen. taco.

bobwilson1977 · 10-21-2009, 06:56 AM

I've had mine almost 14 years. Seeing as how its the totally stripped down, small 2WD model, at this point with 223,000 miles its almost not worth selling. I'd get like what?- $2,500 for it? I'd almost just rather keep it and use it to haul garbage and stuff. Besides- when you have a vehicle that long, you get attached to them. I practically grew up with mine. Went through college with it, met my wife, got a number of jobs, etc etc.

Yea that's the best, when the truck has a story.

bobwilson1977 · 10-21-2009, 07:20 AM

Its had too many stories. Like running through a flooded street with the water over the hood, a road trip across the desert to Vegas at 110MPH, probably the 10 or so girlfriends I had in it before I met my wife, and going across the Sierras in a blizzard.

mjp2 · 10-21-2009, 08:27 AM

I'll keep my truck until something on it breaks.

raskal311 · 10-21-2009, 08:29 AM

I only have 13 payments left on the taco, I plan on buying a mini or a lotus next year as a daily/fun car..... I'm keeping the taco for long trips and to haul crap around when needed.

toytaco970 · 10-22-2009, 12:41 PM

I'm trying really hard to keep the mod bug in check and put extra money to pay it off. After its paid off and I enjoy not having payments for awhile, I will look into a decent used car along the lines of a WRX and turn the taco into a trail monster.

Panda Jerk · 10-22-2009, 12:43 PM

ive put too much money to just get rid of it..... im keeping it as long as possibel god willing i dont run out of money or anything else happen

thestrangebrew · 10-22-2009, 02:10 PM

I plan on keeping this truck for a long time. I'd like to mod it out and use it for trails etc more once I'm done paying it off, then possibly handing it down to my step son or daughter and get a new Taco later down the road.

Vacountryboy-IXI · 10-22-2009, 03:37 PM

Im gona drive it till it has One Million miles. I dont care how much crap I have to replace Im gona do it and then drive it around and tell every Chevy Ford and Dodge owner so they feel insecure.
