    I was looking to buy a Taco in 2012 but ended up with a triple locked 80 series for $5k instead. A steal back in 2012.

    my first pickup was a 95 bright blue metallic single cab like that, but the bench seat did me in after just 2 years and the long 3 to 7 hour drives twice a month so i got into an all-new Tacoma with the better seats!
