3rd Gen Truck Doing Truck Things

Man you got those two trucks parked much closer together than I'd feel safe doing. haha

 

Wait you got it at LONGO hahaha Thats where I got mine.

 

Hell, even the truck was purchased from "Long"o toyota

 

hahaha

 

Nice truck, glad you're using it! Anything you don't like about it?

 

That he got his before I got mine. Dammit.

 

I am trying to figure out why the truck beeps at me when I open the door after the engine is turned off, and in park.

 

Both my wife's Prius and my Corolla do that if we leave the headlights switch set to "on." Normally, we leave it set to "off" but with the fog lights on, and the headlights will turn on by themselves.

The Prius will turn the headlights off eventually. The Corolla will test the limits of the battery.

The Corolla is a dick, which is why my son gets it in about 6 weeks when Captain Ameritruck shows up.

 

THIS SOUNDS SO WRONG. Why would you give him "2"? 1 would cause so much trouble already.

Thanks for sharing the offroad pic....No time for wasting.

 

Yes it's annoying!

 

Probably to remind you to get your keys out since they are in proximity and you push button start.

 

Man. I really like your truck. Not sure if it is seeing it being used or how proportioned it is with other items (like dirt bikes). Congrats. Can't wait to just get a build date.the white looks good with the color matched pieces

 

Do you have a picture of the key fob by chance?

 

I think the Tacoma looks substantially bigger. And that is a good thing. Those rangers were crazy small.

 

Actually just one man's opinion here but I never was a fan of the size increase implemented with the Gen 2. The Gen 1 Tacoma was the perfect size (and better wheelbase) for getting around on overgrown forest roads and jeep trails here in the AZ desert and high country whilst minimizing the pinstripe affect. If I wanted a truck for more size, towing and hauling the Brady Bunch I'd buy a Tundra, or GM silverado/sierra.

 

The narrow track of the gen 1 made the ride harsh. I prefer the mid-size overall.

 

2nd gen size increase was done to replace the size of the 1st gen tundra which got hulked wasn't it? I do agree that the 1st gens were a solid size

 

I like this thread, trucks being shown being used, it's a race to the first dent now, thanks OP.

 

Sweet thanks man! I'm starting to warm up to the third gen look wise and feature wise
