1st gen vs 2nd gen

ive seen people say tacoma Xtra cab. thats why i was confused lol

 

oh. ive seen people say tacoma Xtracab and also have seen tacoma Access cab. so i was confused

 

no worries.

As far as the manual tranny goes, iv seen some newer tacomas that are DC and have the Manual Tranny. I'm not sure, but you may have to have it specially ordered that way or if it is offered off the lot

Maybe someone else will chime in...

but i do know for sure that the 1st gen. tacos were never offered with a manual tranny.

 

first gen tacos with DC*?

damn thats upsetting. either way i guess im going with the access cab then?

 

id check it out! access cab is a good choice too. I love the look of a single cab but it isnt practical for me.

i know this member has a 2012 tacoma DCSB and a manual tranny

thats a trd sport though, not to mention im 19 and certainly will not have money for a brand new one.

 

true. but its not that big of a difference.

id go TRD-OR over the sport... but its all preference...

 

same here. i want that locker! lol plus i like the chrome and other stuff

 

there ya go!

 

so much for those side-by-side pictures

 

Damm do i have to say this

 

think anyone will read this later and actually post some bangin pics?

 

You're not going to find too many side by side pictures, especially built similar because people build their rigs at different paces. Here is my friend's 1st dcsb, and my 2nd gen access cab

As for the difference between access cab and xtra. Accesscabs are technically 2nd gen. The area right behind the door opens up also, allowing you easy access to the area behind the drivers seats. 1st gens do not do this.

I would test drive some 1st and 2nd gens, and make your decision based upon which you feel more comfortable in. A 2nd gen is many thousand more than a first. Buying one, spending thousands modding it, and not being happy with it in the end isn't worth making the girlfriend happy for now. She'll live with what ever YOU pay for, but you should be happy with what YOU pay for.

 

i was looking for a 2nd gen tacoma like mine but its kinda hard.

 

thanks 2008taco. im so bummed that 1st gen dcsb tacos dont come manual
