February 28th, 2017 I bought my first and still current Toyota Tacoma.

 

My first and current are the same lol!! 2018 DCSB off-road auto. But it has changed how I think about Toyota so won’t be my last. Plan to keep this forever even if that means an electric swap one day! Gives me a bigger appreciation for the older ones now! Ford man no more!

 

6 Speed 4 banger in 1993?

 

My 2000 Tacoma standard cab 2.4l and my 2021 DCLB OR Premium with LEDs. Unbelievable the difference. I couldn’t be happier with my 21.

 

I think it was - the 22R engine ?.. could it have been a 6 cyl ?

 

6 speed didn't appear in a Tacoma until 2005.

 

1986
2006
2021

 

If you had Bfg's you put the white letters out... always

 

1st 4Runner (also 1st non POS vehicle): '94 SR5 purchased in '02 for ~$3500. That wasn't my boat.



Current 4Runner: 2019 purchased new in January 2019. Traded in '15 Taco..

Oh - I could be mistaken then - a Senior Moment - I coulda swore it was a 5 Speed + Reverse - if true is that an incorrect
description for 6 Speed ?....... and if further incorrect then was it a 4 Speed + Reverse... I'm confusing myself, easy to do.

 

22R was 2.4L I4 engine.

 

Yeah Reverse isn't counted, that would explain the confusion.

 

5 speed refers to forward gears. 5 forward, 1 reverse. A 6 speed manual would have 6 forward gears.

 

Ok then cool thanks.

I plead guilty to negligence and ask mercy from the court due to late hours and a Senior Moment.

 

Don’t sweat it

 

Got my 1992 pickup for $5000. Had a few trucks since then but currently have my 2015 tundra which I paid $38k for.
