Am I crazy??

Hell ya on the 1st Gen, im still rocking my xtracab 00 with 130k

 

I'm glad that you are gonna keep it! I miss my '00 alot. I love my '06 too, but I wish that I had kept my '00 for many reasons.

 

After checking out this thread:

http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2nd-gen-tacomas/1359-defects-issues.html

I figured I'm pretty much set with what I have.

Not to say that all 2nd gens experience anything like those listed, but knowing me, I would probably end up with one that did...

 

Is the extra room and doors worth the THOUSANDS you're going to spend? Surely not. If it serves your needs, keep it. It's a good looking truck.

 

Seeing all these threads about problems with the 2nd gens scare me but make me glad I have a 1st gen. It makes me uneasy thinking about buying a truck years from now.

 

It's funny, I almost traded my 1st gen on on a new 2nd gen a while back. I got approved for the loan and all, but the day before I was to pick it up, I changed my mind. I like the added roominess and extra towing capacity of the 2nd gen, but in the end didn't think it was worth it. I sunk a couple grand into modding my 1st gen instead. Kinda glad I did now with the whole economy thing...rather not have a loan right now...

 

Thanks for the input. You have a very valid point about the loan thing at this point in time. Is that loan worth the extra room? Don't think so.

 

KEEP IT!!!!! ... and remember they aren't truly broke in till over 200,000 miles. My first taco, an 01, had 27k on it used and I traded for an 07. My 01 only had 121,500 and I had no major probs at all when I traded. currently own an 03 trd 4 door with just over 189,000 no major probs just the usual maintenance

 

It's up to you! Go take a second gen dc for a long drive and then think about the pros and cons of both trucks. Then decide don't take our word for it, but don't be so hasty with your choice.

 

Yeah that's one clean taco. With crazy low miles to boot.

 

Hahahaha, 6 years or not, wonder if he STILL has it...

 

Keep it and buy the new one.
Wife and I each have 2 vehicles.
Nothing wrong with that.

 

I had no idea that it was old lol

 

x2

put that thing in a sealed crate and whorship it

Edit: all this time later, i wonder where it is and how many miles it has

 

I eventually ended up selling the truck to another TW member a couple of years ago. He lives in Gilbert, AZ, I think...not sure what became of it, or if he still has the truck, he has not posted for two years.

As you can see from my profile, now driving a 2013 AC 4x4 TRD Off Road. Every now and then I think of the '02, but don't really miss it.

 

Thats crazy! Lol he got a great truck!

Hope you love the new one

 

Really like the new one. The extra room, opening a.c. doors, bigger bed (somewhat), much nicer seats, more power while still getting close to 19 mpg, backup camera, bluetooth, and generally better looking body and grille are all things that don't make me miss the '02 much.

And, the ride is better also.

 

just keep what u got that away u can garentee it not been ragged

 

Need a universal translator for that...don't think you read past the first post...'garenteed'.
