    Who is really the ultimate resource for Tacoma enthusiasts? It could be Toyota Nation, it could be Custom Tacos or Tacoma World or TTORA but what is the best Tacoma site out there? I'm not saying one is better than the other just wanna see what you guys think is the real Tacoma website.

    My opinion is CustomTacos is better for 95.5-04 Info and Tacoma World is the best for 05+ Info.

    I voted for CustomTacos only because they have more 95.5-04 Info. This site is good for opinions on things or ideas I can use off the 05+ Tacoma's.

    IMHO they all have their strengths and weaknesses-

    CT - seems more for the street/x-runner and performance crowd
    TTORA - definatley hard core rock crawling and off-road with a whole lot of attitude.
    TW - the most well rounded (i think) of them all. caters to all crowds and opinions.
    TN - Never really checked it out

    I personally used to be a huge TTORA person. i was always cruisin through their forums. But i found their overall attitude to be pretty harsh to newcomers and very narrow minded at time. I've found Taco world to be much more of a family and much more open to new comers and it has helped me alot in my mods.

    Thanks guys :eek:

    Ive been to those other sites, but i love how easy it is to go through this one and find whatever you need. and the background color is nice and happy while the others a gloomy and weird.

    I voted TTORA, sorry guys, but for 1st gen's there isnt much info here on TW.

    they are much different though, I spend a lot of time on both. Tw has a ton of good info and the best guys BY FAR, but I find when I need some specific info about my 1st gen, ttora kills it!

    Back in the old days.... (1999), TTORA was the awesome!!! But, they've grown so huge now and they're more on the hard-core side of things. If you're into offroading, that's the best place to go.

    Never really visited CustomTacos much - but they're more for street type tacomas.

    I used to visit ToyotaNation for a while, but stopped because some of the people there can get nasty.

    Tacoma World is all around for everything and much better attitudes.
    TacomaWorld world seems to specialize in posting picts about chicks & chick in bikini's. There used to be a lot of threads about bodily functions too....:rolleyes: Not exactly my cup of tea, but whatever...

    Stick on hood scoop from Autozone.
    TW by far. It's easy to use and organized. It's not cluttered with ads. 99% of the members are nice people and always willing to answer other people's questions.

    That pretty much sums it up ...

    I've been a member on all these forums (plus some other relevant ones ...), and I've visited each one of those forums regularly for years.

    I might go to one or another depending on what the particular topic at hand may be.

    A few miscellaneous points that affect which forum(s) recommend themselves:

    - It depends on whether you're looking for a technical resource or a place to 'hang out'.

    - It depends on which generation of Tacomas (and / or other Toyota models) you're interested in.

    - It depends on whether you're specifically interested in a particular use for your truck - e.g., off-roading, street, racing, drifting (etc., etc. ...).

    - It depends on whether you actually work on or modify your Taco.

    The poll speaks for itself. I imagine if you posted it on another forum you would get the same result, as in their site would be #1.
