    Highly likely some politicians hands were greased on a “donation” deal, but yeah I guess it’s still free.

    Old news. They've had Tacos (and Tundras and other Toyotas) for a long time.
    Get replaced every 3 years due to excessive rust.
    None of that buy American crap I guess lol

    I believe I saw two of these over at Holister SVRA performing training maneuvers.

    I talked to the guy that was teaching the Off-road driving class. He owned a second Gen with 300K miles, and that was his instructor vehicle.

    Hope they have the TSB and OVT, or they'll never make it to the person(s) in need of rescue in time!

    :rimshot:

    And they don't need sirens because the rear diff howl will alert everyone of their presence.

    DB23FD83-A3BA-47F6-A1F5-EC6BA3032ABE.jpg Our FD in Santa Cruz has both 2nd gen and 3rd gen Taco’s for surf rescue, as well as domestics, but I think I’ve only seen the Taco’s actually on the sand. Well, also a State Parks Explorer that was stuck. Our city Park Rangers also drive some Taco’s. All the Taco’s are just SR5’s, with canopies and KO2’s on the FD rigs.

    Difference being.Xsporter is height adjustable, and Tracrac is not. And price of course.
