New Tacoma Owner...Ex Tundra Owner. Be Gentle!

Hell yea! Thanks a lot man!

 

Wtup Mark from Texas!
Dang, I’d lick sh!t from a cows butthole for a Tundra TRD Pro.... sans the monthly payments.

 

Mike, it's time to show us your Taco, pics please.

 

I had a tundra 5.7, loved that damn truck. Got compliments constantly, and it was a chick magnet. The huge back seat was amazing, and bed space awesome. I hated it on the trails though, it scraped on everything! Just too damn big. But what finally pushed me to sell it was the gas mileage, and the tiny fuel tank for a truck its size. Theres no comparing the 3.5 and the 5.7, but if you are familiar with v6 engines in small 4x4s, you will not be disappointed. The 3.5 does surprisingly well compared to others I've had. Most of the complaints I see about the 3.5 and tranny come across to me as people who don't have much experience with modern v6 engines

 

I’m Not to familiar with the newer v6’s is there a learning curve to it?

 

I wouldn't say a learning curve, but if you expect modern v6s that are capable of getting 25mpg to not downshift on a slight incline driving at highway speeds, you will be disappointed. They don't have the torque or horse power to hold a steady gear along various terrain

 

Leave now while you can.

 

Thank you very much!

 

It was a sick truck. It turned heads everywhere I went. But yeah that monthly payment was just too crazy to justify. The dealership was really cool though and gave me my money’s worth for all of the mods and accessories I had on it.

 

It’s getting detailed at the dealership. We’ve had some West Texas weather recently (Rain mixed with Dust) really dirties up a vehicle. As soon as I get it I’ll get you some pics.

 

Damn, that brings back memories, my daughter had open heart surgery when she was 6, born with it also, all good at 25 now. Congrats on the Tacoma !

 

Welcome to TW! Good to hear the kiddo is doing good now!

 

Welcome! Enjoy the new ride and have some fun with yoyr daughter. Glad she is good to go.

 

My tundra definitely turned heads, especially that Cement color whew! Mine had the 38 gallon fuel tank and it was painful to fill up. I’ve never had a V-6 before. I went from an I-4 to several different V-8 trucks. So I’m going to appreciate all of the pointers I can get.

 

Haha too late.

 

It’s always warms my heart to hear when other zipper club members are doing so well. Did it hold her back any when it came to any physical activities?

 

2 weeks ago, I as well traded in my 2006 Tundra for a 2018 TRD OR SB. Loved and babied my Tundra but it was too big. Only took a few days to get over that....totally in love with my new Taco. Then I discovered this site; I have added a bed mat, tonneau cover, door sill protectors, Tacoma matte black letter inserts, plastic-diped the plastic chrome portion of the rear bumper and badges, and ordered the AJT design key fob. Not bad for two weeks! Thinking about adding 4Runner TRD wheels with KO2’s.

At this point, I am truly infected by the Tacomaworld virus!

 

from Dallas.

 

Eeewwww!

We have said cows in the back pasture, and I’ve seen that orifice at work... not sure that effort is worth $50k. I took a quick shot over the back fence but they must be chillin in the pond or under the trees.

 

Thank you!
