What did you drive before your Taco???

Just out of curiousity. I have been a Dodge guy my whole life (used to get a new one every year) but decided with the American companies going to shit I would try Toyota (and I love it btw). That and the fact that i worked for a Dodge Dealer for 10 years and it happened to be one of the over 800 dealerships that Obama decided to close down last year. Anyway my last 3 trucks were Dodge Diesels and i had 7 gas motors before that. There was a TJ (Wrangler) in there somewhere to.

here is my last truck.....i dont miss it at all now that i have my Taco

 

isnt there already a thread like this?


Edit, found it

98 4Runner

1996 V8 Jeep GC
1995 Honda Accord

 

I drove a 2006 F-250 and I do miss it but it kept breaking on me. Got a bad apple, well, I had my eye on the Tacomas one day when i visited Toyota Shopping and it got my eye. So far, I love it and should be keeping it for awhile. Well, I promised my wife I would keep this truck for awhile. Here is what I drove before

 

wow imagine that! a ford breaking down lol

i used to drive a 06 scion tc. i really liked it at first, did a few things and it was pretty quick and got 30 miles to the gallon that was nice! but after a while i got tired of it and i abused it pretty bad and i felt like it was just a problem waiting to happen so i traded it for the tacoma now and wow couldnt have found a better truck!

 

sorry.......i actually did search for one but i guess not hard enough.

 

Yeah tell me about. Well I can say that I have had 2 other F-250's just like it and didn't break at all, however, those past two were the 7.3L powerstroke, the engine that was unbreakable, and this last one, was the 6.0 that wasn't worth a damn. Oh well, that truck is gone and no worries now.

 

2005 Highlander. Nice little car but I needed more room to haul gear around.

 

2006 Dodge Dakota..I hated it, and now i'm in love with my Taco

 

I had the same issue with the 6.7L cummins. The damn emmisions are way too strict on diesels now man i never had any issues with my 5.9 diesels...other than the tranny but thats Dodge for ya.

 

All the 6.0 250's were "bad apples" lol. My dad's was in the shop more than on the road. Within a week of driving it off the lot brand new, We had to call a tow truck to pick up the pos from our driveway. Injectors,cam's,etc. . .

But, the 150's are bulletproof imo.

My truck before the tacoma.

 

my old Taco and Harley. now i just have the 08 DC TRD Sport and love it. lost the old 99 taco to the buy back but i bought it for 17k drove it 5 years and toyota bought it for 16k

 

2004 Chevy Silverado Z71, extended cab. Loved that truck! Wanted something a little smaller and more reasonable for where I live. Tacoma was a great compromise, smaller size and great capabilities!

 

This was my baby for about 9 mths... I traded it in on the taco and I am saving $700 a month... I do miss it but I love the taco and with all the money I'm saving I love it even more!!!

 

nice truck.....i looked really hard at Chevy before I bought the Taco but I would have had payments then and I traded straight up for the Taco so it was perfect.
