What is the best year for 2nd Gen?

I'm not suggesting that the brochure never has any error.
In this particular *case*, I suggest that it is unrealistic to make the claim that this is one of those times.

 

Your welcome. He had a sale this past weekend on mirrors but I think he ran out. It was on the buy/sell /trade yesterday.Tks.

 

I'll contact him in the next day or two. It's not like it's a 'gotta have it feature' but it's kinda cool. No pun intended...

 

05-08 because:

Better looking headlights than '12+
'09 and up doesn't have an actual LSD
Also, bench seat in Reg. cab!

 

The 2015 brochure shows a clock in the dash even though there is not one.

 

Actually you did say they all have it from 2011 and below then they got cheap from 2012 and above. SR5s don't come with Billys

 

No. I said that 2011 *HAD* it, and it certainly does. I made no claims that anything before then did.

 

The newest un-modded truck will always have the highest value in the marketplace. So...a stock, low mileage, 2015, like this:

 

So...Who is the official scorekeeper for pissing contest's on this site....I'm thinking the stream is getting a little weak.....

At any rate....I've owned 17 4wds, and a grand total of 47 vehicles since I got my license in 1973. There are FOUR that stick out in my mind as exceptional/memorable/outstanding. Two are cars.....a 1966 Chevy II Nova, L79 engine package. Black on black with black interior, and SS package. It was a flipping ROCKET! #2 was a 1968 SS396, 375HP Camaro. My first car! Chick magnet in Hugger Orange! The 2 TRUCKS that jump up are; #1 was my 1984 SR5 Toyota regular cab, long bed. 22R/manual tranny, 4" lift kit, 35" Gateway "Gumbo Mudders" (coolest mud tires on earth back then) A Warn 6500lb winch, Alpine stereo, Crome roll bar in the bed, 4 KC Daylighters, and yes, it was a chick magnet too! (Hell....Maybe I was and this is just what I drove..... ) #4........My current 2011 Taco TRD Off Road, Silver DCSB, 3" lift, V6/auto. about to get 285/75/r16's and 1" wheel spacers, eventually a Warn winch and US Offroad mount, along with sliders......Nothing fancy, but I ADORE driving this truck. After spending 11 years bounching around in a 2500 Dodge QC/long bed, Hemi/auto 4wd gas guzzler/log wagon that handled like a school bus with flat tires, the Tacoma is a DREAM to drive. It has a look I'm happy with, rides great, gets respectable gas mileage, has plenty of room for my old 6'5", 270lb worn out body, and there are a bazillion aftermarket goodies available so I can keep on making changes until they start sending me social security checks and a wheel chair. You could not find a vehicle I'm more pleased with, so don't even think about trying!

 

The 2015 brochure is the exact same as the 2013 brochure when I bought mine. I'm pretty sure they just made a brochure in 2012 with the refresh and didn't change it at all after that.

 

Reread your comment, you implied they started to take premium parts out starting in 2012 model for example your shocks.

 

2008, no traction control and a mechanical LSD

 

Should've done a poll for this thread. Its a toss up for me between 2012 and 2013 models.

I just want to take this time to go on record and say that the 2001 - 2004 gens are still my favorite. And if you haven't guessed by now, I will be running for President in 2020. *Drops Mic*

 

2005 cuz it was rated at 245hp!!!!!

 

Lol what is it rated at now?

 

236............................. it was a snafu in dyno correction iirc..........it actually produced 236 sae corrected

 

That sucks..but yeah my engine runs better on 89 than 87

 

I used to have a 2005 frontier and I always said mine was better cause it had 265 hp instead of 261 like the 2006.

 

I no its crazy. Looks like they used the 2014 photo in the 15 brochure. I just noticed they mentioned it on the bottom right. They like to change it up from year to year. Just trying to help.
