Is the Tacoma moving in a favorable direction (1st gen to 4th gen)??

no they were just commie trucks down south

 

^Commie trucks? Which country down south are you referring to?

 

coon ass country

 

Aka Alabama Georgia Mississippi Louisiana South Carolina. They also used to call it Jap mobile.

 

I test drove the Gen 4 and it drives like a crossover. I don't understand all the whining about prior generation seats? I've owned a Tacoma's since 1997 and all the seats were just fine. The 4th gen driving experience is way too car like. I like the feeling that I'm driving a truck. If I want a truck that drives like a car I would get a Ridgeline or a Santa Cruz.

 

waiting on a Florida stock 4th gen DC 4x4 auto non hybrid to agree to logging chain up to my 3rd gen SR 4x4 DC on a dirt road in 1st gear, 4 low, no locker, no modes, emptied, first to drag the other 5 feet. Best of 3 pulls. Who wins??

 

You didn’t test drive a gen 4.

 

I did. Exact configuration that you have, but a 2024.

 

I wouldnt be too worried about this happening with the 4th gen, I think Toyota fixed it with computer code....

No, because they weren't much of a difference from the 1994 PU Toyota built.

 

The IFS was torsion bar, and the 3.0 V6 ate head gaskets. I think that's about it other than cosmetics.


Also, this thread still sucks.


Dicsuss.

 

Or carburetors. Who the hell wants that complicated FI?

 

Still waiting on one of you Florida 4th gens to logging chain up to my 3rd gen SR and get after it.

3rd gen SR vs 4th gen SR5, dirt road tug of war. Stock street tires, Best of 3 pulls. 4low, no lockers, 1st gear, no modes, no payload.

Who wins??

 

You pick the weirdest stuff to base your truck preferences on. A tractor pull shootout? No Tacoma in the history of Tacomas is designed to excel at that. You are have been in the wrong category of truck all this time if that’s something that’s relevant to how you drive and use a truck.

 

Lol what is the 3rd gen Tacoma designed to excel at

 

I mean I know it would get smoked in a tug of war by basically every other midsize but I was comparing 3rd gen to 4th gen

 

I'm really wanting to see how the high geared 4th gen compares to the much lower geared 3rd gen

 

Today you could learn about overall gear ratios and torque multiplication, or you could complain about a truck you don’t even care to learn about

 

Okay I'll bite what's the overall gear ratio 3rd gen SR5 automatic versus 4th gen SR5 automatic first gear 4low

 

Actually I'd like to see that for all Jen's if you have it
