Are you too old for your Tacoma?

So I'm watching the 49ers game with a buddy and his friend at the local bar and the conversation eventually got around to our cars. His friend drives a Lexus something or another and was kind of weirded out that I drove a Tacoma. "They are great trucks, don't get me wrong...but I always think it's odd when I see someone over 35 years old driving one". He apparently thinks older guys driving trucks should be driving "big full size trucks" or driving cars/SUV's.

This guy was harmless but kind of ridiculous. I didn't get mad since he ended up buying my beers based on numerous football/bar bets lost.

Anyway, anyone 40+ self conscious that they're driving a Tacoma?

 

54 and lovin my Taco. Had a '84 Nissan Hustler which got traded on a VW Golf in 90. was 23 years before I got a another truck, my '13 DCLB SR5 Taco.

 

I'm 42yrs old and love driving mine since i purchased it brand new in 2012!I still have a lot more mods in store and plan on driving the truck for a long time!

 

Plenty of retired folks around here driving Tacos. Men and women. You're hanging with the wrong crowd

 

Should be in 3rd gen

 

never thought about it
hmmmm... nope, I'm good

 

good point

 

I have never considered the Tacoma as an age specific vehicle. Corvette on the other hand...

 

well then he'll think its really weird that my gram(73) just bought one, and sold her jeep for it. Lol

 

I got nothing. I tried.

I'm 50 and I'm driving a Tacoma. Have for years and will for years to come !

 

43 and I love passing tunners and doucebags that drive Lexus.

 

I'm over 60, some of my Taco friends are over 70. I know some 50 and 60 year old ladies around here with them. I think there are plenty of pre-Tacos parked at the high school

 

36 years old and I drive a LX. Got rid of my Tacoma for it... I get laugh at by some people... I set them straight when they see how capable it is...

 

I'm 60....

Shit... what did you ask me again?

 

42...I've never owned anything but Toyota pickups since I got my license.

 

44 and the back seat has two car seats. Awesome alternative to a minivan and we fill the bed every weekend at the home improvement store.

Fixing up an old travel trailer which I certainly wouldn't tow with a Lexus.

 

34 and traded my Lexus for the Tacoma. Needed a bed to tote my testicles around in. No room in the Lexus for them. Damn fine cars though. I like running shit over and not worrying about cosmetics so much. I was paranoid in the yuppie cruiser. Don't really care what people think anymore. Opinions don't pay my bills, unfortunately.

 

my dad drives a suburban, my mom an expedition, they are both over 50 and love to drive my Tacoma around!
