1st gen or 2nd gen?

Gotta go with 1st gen. Ultimately they both can get dam sexy, and appeal to different people for different reasons. I grew up with my dad driving a beater Toyota 4x4 pickup, then to a 97 t100 so naturally I have some nostalgic attachment to the looks and feel of being inside a 1st gen Toyota.
I was at the dealer the other day and noticed they are goin for 30k these days, I believe back when 1st gens were new they went for 22k. Obviously inflation is a bit of a factor, but couldn't be that much? These newer gens are definitely geared toward average people looking for bells and whistles rather than solid off road/utility trucks.
Like I said earlier, both gens can look really good, but I'd definitely go for 1st. Their reputation is just unbeatable.

Oh and ps.. If you haven't seen the 2016 yet (I believe this will be the start of 3rd gen) they are looking more like tundras (ugly)



Here's my 97 when I bought it. LOVE IT

 

1st gen hands down, looks, durability, power, longevity can't beat!!
Bought it new, still running strong, most my friends have replaced there trucks 3 times, lol
1st gen rule the roost with 300,400,500,000 miles, NOT the 2nd gen!!
But if you want more space and a softer ride, go with the 2nd gen.

 

I'm looking for my first truck since my '92 Toyota, and can't decide on which generation. I have the funds for a new one, but really just want something to haul my mountain bike around in and take off road in SoCal for biking and hiking trips. Not a daily driver per se, but will see lots of highway miles. I'm a pretty good DIY'er and I think doing maintenance/mods is fun.

Are there "too many miles" to consider when buying used? I'm considering 1st and 2nd Gen only at this point.

 

when I had my 1st gen I wanted a 2nd gen, now that I have my 2nd gen I want to go back to a 1st gen. I will probably end up with both, but the first gen does feel more like a real truck to me than the 2nd gen.

So if anyone has a first gen in good condition having all the regular maintenance and is looking to sell near San Antonio...
