    2011 Red Tacoma 4WD manual
    IMG_5966.jpg IMG_3033.jpg Hello,
    I bought my 11 Tacoma new in June (of '11 of course ;) ) Just found this forum while trying to figure something out. Owners manual is clear as mud, and my son who is into modifying and wheeling with his 98 Tacoma; well lets just say I don't totally trust him! hopefully I get safe answers here!
    Anyway, still love my truck even though it replaced a '94 that I do still miss to this day. I was not allowed to keep both.

    Welcome

    Nice truck , i wish i would have waited a bit to buy a 2nd or 3rd generation tacoma ( i have a 2003).
    However i needed a vehicle fast and after driving my siblings truck for a while i couldn't settle for a car anymore ( slopes , bumps, rain pile up sections)

    Is your 94 still usable?

    I see more and more women getting tacomas, but i notice you seem to live in mountain terrain so seems more ideal to buy a truck. I was trying to convince my mother to take my truck so i could buy a newer model but at 5 ft tall she doesn't like the height of it ( which is roughly the height of yours)

    yeah nice truck and welcome. This place is a wealth of information. Most any question or issue you'll have...you're not the first and theres probably someone with a write-up about it. Really gotta hand it to the members who have taken the time to do great how-to's and write ups that have come in handy for me.

    Love seeing other access cabs!

    my 94 was amazing. I sold it with 143K miles at 17 years old in 12 hours. Should have asked more. Should have kept it lol. My son was 17 at the time and did not want to buy it from me and to this day says how stupid he was ;)
    Pics from just before I sold it... ( I kept it long enough to transfer my WSU plate ;))
