    I noticed a distinct disadvantage to buying a 3rd gen Tacoma. The forum for 3rd gens is much busier than 2nd gens. That meant more time spent browsing the site when I had a 2nd gen and a 3rd gen. The 2nd gen is sold, and it is a 4 banger, so I no longer have to watch those forums. Maybe it all works out in the end. :)

    $23k for a 12 year old truck. Or eleven, I guess Toyota isn't selling the 2021s just yet.

    There apparently are folks who will pay that. Not me. I learned today that Toyotas go for a premium, but that is out of reason.

    Which part? I'm sure short does not apply across the board, at least for me.

    I was mainly referring to posts that repeatedly come up when people can search, stuff related to OVtune, transmission shifts, what tire sizes fit without lifts, etc
