Hello Tacoma World! Steve here, I've gotten a lot of great advice in the forums here, so thanks to all who post. I currently drive a 1999 Limited 4Runner and my wife drives a 2015 TRD Pro 4Runner. I am in the market for a first gen Tacoma (cant wait) and had a question about the clutch. I test drove two Tacomas one with 300k miles and one with 160k. Compared to other jeeps, cars, and the 1985 4x4 pickup I had many years ago, the clutch seemed extremely stiff and had to be depressed all the way to the floor board to engage the gears, is this normal? Anyway, sorry for the long winded post. Any help/advice would be appreciated.

 

This is my daily driver, will be my sons as soon as I find a Tacoma. Pretty much stock except for removing the "fat lip bumper" and installing a 1998 bumper. Also blacked out all the emblems and wheels with Rustoleum Flexi-dip, worked great.
