Am I too old to own a Tacoma?

I have seen old men driving pickup trucks since I was a kid.

Always admired the really old guys driving nicely maintained old trucks.

If everything goes according to plan, I will be one of them in about 30 years - driving my 3rd gen Tacoma.

I will be sure to post an update in this thread if I make it....lol

 

My dad was 60 when he had a first gen 5 lug Tacoma. Traded that in for a 2002 4 door when he was 61. Then he got a 2010 FJ cruiser when he was 67. After that it was a tundra for a little bit, back to a 2008 Taco (which is now mine) and then he got a 2007 access cab which he gave my brother and now hes in a 2005 4runner at 76 years old. Never too old for it my guy!!

 

Very cool that Tacoma appeals to both young and old drivers. Here are a couple of interesting articles.

Finally, someone checked the fucking manual!

 

There's a reason Toyota paints the up market trucks blue.

 

60 here and on my 2nd Toyota Truck that looks like this one from the day....

 

Man I love that NSX.

 

only for part of the trip to the west. LOL

 

Born in 1954. Never acted my age. Rode my jetski today.

 

Born in 38. Recently turned 80, feel 40. Always been a gear head, anything with an engine. Just took delivery of 2018 TRD Sport to pull my 31 Ford pickup to the mountains for days and days of Model A touring. It’s my third Tacoma, Gen1,2, and now Genn3

 

Am I spotting a 2nd-gen under the cover?

 

Good catch, my 2007 for sale.

 

You better not be, I'm 61 and on my first Taco.

 

Skip that! I ain’t driving no Hyundai! Millennials are giving me a bad name. I’m an old soul

 

I had my 50th reunion last year.

 

Cool. I bought a new 73 CJ5 for $3500! Wish I still had it.

 

I am old enough to know better, but young enough to do it anyway.

 

36 years old right here.

 

So, being from the seemingly younger side of the tracks at 35, let's talk color. I have Barcelona red and was told it made it an old man truck. Mind you being an access cab sr with the massive 4 didn't for some reason. There is a part of me that thinks it still has too many options. Anyway, id rather hang with the old dudes. Better stories to tell. I would be willing to bet that age will have a lot to do with that little word in the op's title also "own"

 

80??? Good for you man I had you pegged at 60 in your photo. Mother Nature did you well.
