    Well she was born almost 10 years ago, though I've only had her 1.5 years, I truly do love the truck. Theres things I wish it had, but I don't blame the truck, I blame Toyota.

    I traded mine for a used Titan about 4 years ago and thought I wanted a full size truck. I hated it from the next morning and went back to get my Tacoma back. They charged me $2500 but I paid it and learned my lesson. I had no idea whatsoever that I was so comfortable and how much my Taco fit around me. I thought about a 2016 and I just can't give it up. I have the speedway blue, which that's why I bought it to begin with. The paint is all shot on the roof, the hood, tops of the doors and flares, which pisses me off but I still take it into Toyota for every service and it has almost 93 k on it. Still drives tight and like new. Haven't had to fix anything except a tail shaft seal, blower relay, and brakes.

    Yep. But my Taco badly needs new bushings and I'm not looking forward to replacing them. And I need to schedule for new leaf springs. Minor annoyances...

    I did the leaf spring TSB back in 2009 and now they tell me there is a new leaf spring TSB.

    I've had mine closer to 10 years and 175,000 miles and still won't part with it even after buying an F-150 Screw. I needed the size, but kept the Taco too.

    Six years with my PreRunner and a little over a year with my 4wd.

    I happily use either when I don't have to use my company F-150, so anytime I'm not headed to or from work.
