Do you wave or acknowledge other Taco owners?

No, it's a 4x4. Can't buy a 4x2 Limited in Canada.

 

I just did, and to a 1st gen 4x2.

 

Mostly said in jest however I did own a shortbed for 12 years and everyday i had it wished I had a longbed.

When the quad cabs first came out you could only get the shortbox, I hated that smaller bed but needed 4 doors more than hauling capacity at the time. Hated that I had to compromise but that was,all that was available with a 1st gen back then for 4 doors. Eventually Toyota realized not everyone wanted the shortbed with 4 doors so they added the longbed configuration with the 2nd gen but still wasn't available in the OR config, with the 3rd gen it all changed.

Now that I have the OR longbed and 4 doors, I never feel like I have too much room. Pretty certain there's a few shortbed owners wishing they had more room too.

 

Size matters I guess.

I have a single cab 6 ft bed. Does what I need and gets 20-23 mpg city

 

I wish my gen2 AC had a 6'6" bed instead of a 6'1", but I make do. I had to add a roof rack to my camper shell so I could carry a 7' step ladder for use with my telescope (eyepiece is 8' off the ground when pointed straight up).

 

Me either, because if someone thinks that way, I really don't care about their opinion. I don't look down on anyone as a rule, but kidding around, that makes the day go quicker at my work place, and all in good fun (for the most part)I was just kidding, really.
We cool?

 

Some of you guys take things a little too serious....

Honestly I don't care if another person waves or not, it's their business.

 

i come from a subaru sti, thumbs up or a little quick flash of the lights, it was actually rare if they didnt. noticed with tacoma owners, only the modded ones give thumbs up SOMETIMES.

 

Most of the ridgeline drivers in my area are retired men in their 60-70s. I think that is the age group Honda was targeting with that truck.
All the GMC Canyon and chevy colorado drivers are also old retired men in their 60-70s in my area.
Most Tacoma buyers fall in the 25-50s age group so Toyota is getting all the prime working age group people in this segment.
I think that is the main thing that makes chevy/GMC and Honda so jealous of the Tacoma because it can attract a broad range of buyers in almost all age groups in the mid size truck market. Young people in their early 20s, people in their 30s, people in their 40-50s, and even some retired people prefer the Tacoma.

 

Yes, I wave. Do the same thing to ALL motorcycles when I ride my Harley!!

 

Someone in another 3rd gen waved to me the day I bought mine. I thought it might happen more often, but it hasn't happened since.

 

Thanks for the clarification. I would of thought limiteds came in 4x4 since they should have all the nice options. Glad to see that is the case.

 

I usually talk to Taco owners at the pump or wave and sometimes I'll get a wave back if they're either modded or own a TRD model. I actually get more comments from either Tundra, or Chevy/Ford owners who admire the Taco, say its a cool truck yet don't understand why I paid for a midsized that costs as much as their full sized truck......They don't get the love.

 

We cool.
We just seem to divide ourselves into increasingly smaller groups.
By gen.
By color.
By transmission.
By bed size.

 

Not we, some of us. 99% of the members here are also "cool", at least that is the way I see it.
End of the day, TW is enjoyable, or else, why would most of us be here?

 

If they have kbro2s I usually follow them home to give them a bro five. other than that nah. unless they nod or stare me down first.

 

If they're rolling like a type 1G I'll flip them a couple of fingers

 

In a word - No.

In two words - Fuck No

 

I did once, a guy in a silver 3rd gen sport parked next to me at the grocery store as I was loading. I said "hey nice truck!" To which he replied "Ugh I guess i should say the same thing to you." Then he signed and walked away.

Can't really fault the guy, he looked like he just received some bad news....probably about the scoop being fake.

 

Just wave at them and smile. And enjoy watching them get super aggro and enjoy the results. I did this to a guy on the highway the other day and while going full knuckle dragger he was caught by surprise when traffic suddenly slowed down resulting in the ape facing the wrong way on the highway. I enjoyed the display.
