Tacomas, Truck Yeah

The 3rd gen Tacoma simply rocks. I love it’s funky, clunky, simple, tried and true ways. I was super hesitant at first to get into a 3rd gen, due to the “new” engine change and the claims of dodgy and neurotic transmission, etc, over the earlier two generations.
I come to my 2020 TRDOR from a totaled ‘18 4Runner TRDOR. The 4Runner was in many ways, simply perfect... alas.
I’ve done a couple simple things like stock sized BFG KO2s, the brilliant TACOMODS radio knob “mod,” and am looking forward to adding the rock climbing chalk bag cup holders- simple stuff, bc the truck is just great. I ended up getting the automatic trans, and i’m happy to report that it’s not that bad! Maybe it’s a little weird, but i don’t remember now, as it’s been a few months, and the other vehicles i get to drive both have manuals. Everything works. It works well. The truck trucks just like a truck should. It’s bouncy but squishy, has body roll, sway, nose dive... basically, it’s a truck!
Maybe my frame will rot and have to be replaced, maybe my fuel pump will have to be warrantied, etc, but the truck itself is about as honest a contender on the road and in four wheel drive as a person could hope for. It’s obviously not a tower, and the legroom for back passengers is not impressive! But it’s solid. And it really works well as a general “bay boat” for almost any other thing you’d ask a modern vehicle to do. I guess I’d just like to re-say hello to the community, and to give props to Toyota for an honest vehicle well made. Word.

This post is wholesome AF

 

It is. No doubt. I appreciate the responses! Toyota trucks have always made me grin, and cars and trucks are a lot like people- none of them are made perfect... But the 3rd gen Tacoma so solidly keeps its truck truck nature while still mostly quietly utilizing modern technology that it makes me satisfied with my vehicle in a way that I have found to be very rare. So wholesome it is! Oh What a Feeling!
