What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

K cars were the shit boxes full of shit.

 

They may have looked like crap but they brought Mopar out of the grave and back to relevance. Reliable economy vehicles are the lasting way to a consumers heart. Right now they don't have any and they're headed right back to the mistakes of the past.

 

Not sure I'd call any Chrysler reliable..

 

Depends on the point in history you decide to have a look with them. Can't deny there are still an assload of 90s Town & Country / Grand Caravan vans out there still, pretty much any K platform vehicle can be kept on the road with normal maint, or ductape.

You mean these?

 

Or just the 3rd gen?


Or just the 1st gen before I swapped tires and wheels?

 

The front grill on the base third gen has never grown on me

 

I'm sticking with my original statement, I like them all. No discrimination here.

 

Have to say my 16 kicks my 04's ass in looks and performance.

But the 04 stays in the family, it's been a great little truck.

All of mine have been great but really loved the look of my 91.

 

Nah let's change the thumbmail from a turd to a much better pic. Hows a Cummins Pickup truck for ya?

 

I love the cement color of the 3rd gen.

It's been out for a little while prior on the Corolla I believe.

 

Yeah, I bought a 92 and then found my 02 and sold it back to the guy. I just didn't want a 25 year old truck...though it was in good shape. Couldn't get it to pass emissions though.

 

Head gasket took my 91, that put me in a 99 then when the wife got pregnant again, needed a back seat so I got the 04.

 

I don't like the 3rd gens, my 3rz has more power than the 3.5 till about 3500 rpms when the power actually kicks in.

To much electric crap....add with 40k for a mid size and that thing isn't leaving the pavement if I had it

1st gen size is perfect, when it's actually a tacoma in my opinion

 

My 04 was 30k, my 16 OR DCLB was 36.5k, this 03 AC brand new is about the same price when you adjust for inflation.

 

Four labs! They must keep you on your toes hahah I have one and he is great, but definitely high octane...great pics, I bet they had a blast in the lake

 

This is where the dealbreaker is for me, too. I don't mind the 'electric crap', as long as I can keep a manual trans. And like others have stated, when adjusted for inflation, the price of these trucks hasn't gone up that much. But the size kills me every time. If I wanted a full-size, I'd go buy a full size. 3rd gens are about the same size of the 1st gen Tundra.

Just wish I could buy a 2017 Tacoma with 1st gen feel. They did it for the GT86, I think they could do it for the Tacoma.
