    Finally took the 3rd gen home. I'm going to miss my 1st gen. Had it since 2005. Only part that broke on me was the radiator. Hope this one last...

    Listed price $39558
    Paid $37600

    Thanks guys! Yep, I get a lot of compliment on my 1st gen. I've always kept it clean... Before making the purchase, I listed on Craigslist for 15k and within a day I receive 20 emails. Unfortunatly I sold it for 6k. To my sis :)

    Im still getting use to the transmission. At the moment I'm enjoying driving it on ECT mode. I can't stand driving on reg mode. It drives like a granny...

    What's the wheel and tire spec on your first gen?

    Surely your sister doesn't need that setup and would be willing to sell them :)

    I've been driving with the ECT on for the past week and started liking my Tacoma.

    Does it hurt driving with ECT on all the time, in a long run?

    Not sure in the long run. I doubt it...otherwise Toyota wouldn't have put a button there.
