3rd Gen Still King

Looks like 3rd Gen V6 likely to go down in history as one of best Tacomas? Can't see 4th Gen ever outselling 3rd Gen.
watch

 

Late 2nd gen, then later third gen, early third gens are like most new roll out models, they tend to have bugs that the later years have worked out.

 

3rd best..most likely

[how many times are you going to make the exact same claim?]

 

Eh, they’re all good, and have their pros n cons. Weigh your options and buy what fits you the best.

 

May be biased but 3rd gen for sure.

 

1st gen. That old 3.4 was bulletproof

 

3rd gen owner here, but 1st gen for the win!

PERFECT small pickup, incredibly reliable and simplisive - available with a real four door cab, short bed, 4wd, 3.4 and a 5spd.... There's the real winner.

 

Had a 2004 Double Cab V6 put 220,000 miles on it and it was still running strong when I sold it. I loved that truck. Although, I think the 3rd Gen is better in every way, this is verified by sales numbers. 3rd Gen is the last of why people bought Tacoma's.

 

3rd best if we arnt counting the Pickup.

 

Had all 3 gens. All were great. Really liked the 2nd gen but so far the 3rd gen has been awesome.

 

Its too early to say. Most 3rd gen probably don't have 100k yet. Let's see in 20 years.

I have a suspicion that the 3rd gen won't age as well as some of the earlier trucks.

 

The 400,000 Tacomas sold in 2016 and 2017 with average mileage are all over 100,000 miles now. Including those from later model years that have high or slightly above average mileage that's well over half a million examples that are over 100k miles. How many until your suspicion is sated?

 

Some TW members put lots of miles on their 3rd Gen.

I loved all of them. I guess I just beat shit out my 1st gen compared to my 3rd lol. Even the 4th. Now that I've seen them in person. They are growing on me. I'm still glad I got mine when I did though lol

 

So are 3rd gen owners the new 2nd gen owners now that the 4th gen is out?

 

The best Tacoma is the one parked in your garage

 

We can all agree on that bud.

 

own all generations except the 4th, so far
1. 3rd gen
2. 1st gen
3. 2nd gen

 

2nd gen are the best so far. Simple and solid.

Its really too early to tell on the 3rd gens, but all the electronic BS
makes me wonder about longevity.
