What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

Oh boy. It would physically pain me to take that in the snow and sleet.

Only slightly dissapointed it's not another, more mint Tacoma.

 

No snow or sleet here currently. I don't ever drive it in the rain, snow, salty roads or below 45*, drag radials kinda prevent that.

One day it'll be a mint Tacoma summer street truck, the Cobra, the trail beater Tacoma (my current daily), and dare I say it..... a Raptor Ranger (if it's brought to the US) or a Bronco...

 

Hell yeah I'd take a new ranger or bronco over a turd gen all day

 

LOL

 

I don't see the point of the raptor ranger. Its barely smaller then a real raptor and i doubt it'll be much cheaper and it'll be less powerful.

 

Godspeed with those front ones. Hopefully the fit better and stay secure better than mine.

 

It's too piss 3rd gen owners off.

If you really want to ruffle feathers over in the 3rd gen forum question why the SR exists. It goes over like rooting their wives and having their dog follow you home.

 

Supposedly going to be priced under $50,000 and the overseas one has a diesel option. I've been a Ford guy my whole life so there is that as well

 

Yeah, that's hard for me, but totally agree. I hate Ford's, but REALLY hate the turd gens. We got a turd gen (2017 OR) for my company vehicle and I hated it. Told the boss I wanted something else and he didn't understand why. He drove it for 3 days before he traded it in on the next rig. Now I have an F150 with 2.7L ecoboost. I really wanted to dislike it, but the ecoboost motors outright scream. The 2.7L puts out 350hp and 375lbs torque which is more than enough for that rig. It also gets better mileage than my 3.4L Taco at 18.5mpg. I would love to see how one feels in a smaller platform like the ranger.

 

Yeah, I was hesitant, but the other ones I had in kept moving around around under my feet. I'll get crafty with velcro if they move around. The fit seemed pretty good though

 

Ohhh myy

 

Yeah my 3.4 gens about 17avg mpg. I would love to see an ecoboost Ranger or a turbo diesel Ranger.

 

What's the point of a TRD pro Tacoma vs TRD pro tundra?

 

Yeah my driver side is all bent up. Next time I'll pay the extra ten bucks for weathertechs since they utilize the hook that keeps em in place

 

Are you running stock suspension/tires? I had mine for almost two years and averaged between 19-21 except in the winter, when it was 17-18. I'd get 22-23 on mostly highway trips. I get 17 in my first gen and really miss those 3-4 extra mpg haha

 

I have a 2 inch lift and 265/75r16s in a 03 DC. My gas light comes on about 200 miles. My 99 XC got better mpg about 300 miles before gas light with the exact same lift and tires and wheels. Both v6 but to be fair my 99 was all highway and my 03 is all city

 

Ohhhh makes more sense

 

Yeah, I've never seen one in person. Hellas 4runner, but not a single first gen taco with one. In person that is.

 

My v6 ext cab with a 2 inch lift 265/75r16 on mud tires get 230-250 miles a tank (depends on how I drive it and if I need 4x4)

 

Im running about 3" lift and 285/75/16 in an 04 DC and get well over 200 miles before light will come on, dont have exact figure but id guess 15-17 mpg
