Random stuff you LIKE about your 3rd gen tacoma

I like the tailgate handle saying TOYOTA on it. I also like little things, like the heat guard the protects the forward driveshafts aft unjointed from the exhausts heat.

One thing I thought was neat, but not sure if the

 

<~~~~~ huh? not another duh moment for me,this truck is making me feel so stupid,it hides its features,going to look for these pockets to!

 

I like that the truck seems to use the incline/decline measurements to determine when to shift to a lower gear in order to engine brake down hills after slightly pressing the brake pedal.

 

Haven't heard many people say they like the 3.5/auto combo here.

 

I like mine, haven't had any problems with it and it shifts where its supposed to. Even going up through the mountains it does great, on the freeway going up the grades it'll downshift into 5th, RPMS are right at 2900-3000 and I'll end up accelerating and passing people up it at 75+. Does it accelerate like a Powerstroke Turbo Diesel.. no but its a midsize truck and handles great.

I love how it handles, its very nimble on and off road, all of the tech, the interior and the exterior. I find myself staring at it all the time.

 

No life ? Seriously......Tried to give you the benefit of the doubt but kid you got issues......One more child added to the list, Goodbye......

 

Oh and the push button start its extremely convenient!

 

Took mine from Miami Florida to Kodiak Alaska. 6200+ mile trip. 0 issues and comfortable.

 

Holy crap, that's a long drive. Work or play?

 

Wow so you do like your truck? For a while I thought you hated it. I'm happy for you man! Enjoy it.

 

I think you may have me confused with Smitty99 or another user like BlueT. I've always loved my truck.

 

Yeah you must have him confused with smitty99 who makes it pretty obvious in every thread that he posts in that he hates his truck.

 

I must, my mistake. I'm stoked to see so many people that are happy with these awesome trucks.

Cheers!

 

Coast Guard. Stationed in Miami, now in Kodiak Alaska for 3 years =)

 

love to see some pics of that Alaska trip !

 

Have a couple on the Where did you off-road section but I will see about posting some on my page? When I get the chance.

 

Just drove from Wyoming to Colorado and I love the height of the door with the window down. I find on many new cars I can't comfortably rest my elbow on the door with the window down because it is too high and makes an awkward angle. On the Tacoma it is perfect. A very small thing, but it fits perfect.

 

I am impressed with the gas mileage. I get better mpg on back roads than I do highway. I'm about 25 backroad commuting vs 22 highway.

Must have on a long truck.
