    Ok i know there is no age limit and i'm not going to let it affect anything...

    I love Toyota trucks and i'm on my 6th BUT i've noticed at most meets (only been to a couple) that I'm one of the oldest at 48 years :D... I met up with the Tacoma Krew a while back and everyone looked to be in their mid 20's (everyone was very welcoming)... but it had me wondering, was i supposed to buy a Jeep? Seems like everyone on the trail my age is in a Jeep o_O

    That being said, curious what age's are in this forum.

    Rich

    48

    EDIT:
    Let me get this out of the way....I love my Tacoma and will continue to mod it, go to meets etc...just thought it was funny i see more people at my age in Jeeps lol

    46 and just bought my first Taco.

    Many of the youngsters these days prefer the Ridgeline. Too much soy, I guess. :crapstorm:

    Seems like over 60 is a good thing. For me anyway. 62. And I love working on my truck.

    Turning 35 this month. All ages should be able to appreciate a good truck. No limit.

    Keep in mind that any online forum group is going to attract a younger crowd. It's not Tacoma related, it's internet related.

    Pushing 60 and love my Taco, and working on it. Except the damn big ass tires get harder and harder to lift on and off each year. Tires these days must weigh more.
