How many Tacomas have you had?

I miss my 2004 - but needed more room and couldn't resist the 2020 Army Green Pro. I sold the 2004 to a friend and she fell in love with it too - still running strong.



And I knew there was another reason I liked you. I spotted that Z4 sitting in the garage. I bought my '96 Z3 new and I am still pushing it through the corners. We'll be heading down to the twisty roads of the North Carolina Blue Ridge Mountains in April to give the Z3 another workout.

Radiant Red 2007 SR5 DCSB MT - Traded at 230k


Super White 2007 TRD OR DCSB AT Prerunner- traded at 315k (work truck)


Super White 2015 TRD OR AC MT - has almost 90k

 

You are gonna keep on going until you get one to stick aren't ya. Gotta give you credit for persistence... reported.

 

In this order:

1996 2.7/5MT 4x4
2001 2.7/5MT 4x4
1993 22RE/5MT 4x4
2010 4.0/AT 4x4

current 2021 is a blending of my favorite things of all of them...other than color. I do love the black, just not keeping it clean.

Edit: Toyota has definitely softened these trucks over the years, but they've done it right. I finally gave up on Jeep because they did it wrong. The toughness and solid feel has absolutely stayed. Love the new tech, the heated seats, and the quiet ride on the new one. Also love the positive feel of every switch and button and the fact that I can throw it in low range, lock the rear diff, and still get it in the dirt. Wish I could get that locker to work whenever I want...but can't have everything.

Man... I have had a few... Liked every one of them too. Currently on my 5th Tacoma... All third gens. No issues with any of them. My 2021 TRDOR is awesome so far as well. Better shifting than the 2017 i had last. But in between the 5 tacomas i also had a 2019 4runner that was awesome, and a 2021 Colorado Z71, that was a POS. Made lemonade from that lemon and back in a tacoma, happily.

7 vehicles in 6 years... Thats NORMAL right? To be fair, one was totaled by a woman not paying attention and likely on drugs, one only lasted 3 days before the dealership tried changing the contract, one was a lemon, one was 2wd and that didnt make me happy, the 4runner was awesome but i missed having a bed... Took me a while to figure out what i really wanted. I think im there now... Finally.



My current love... Will only get better as the build proceeds.

 

Both are nice...but that Beamer is gorgeous!!

 

Those are some nice oldies you had!

 

And of course I can’t forget to mention the one that started it all ... and I still have it !

 

Wow! That's awesome!!

 

This is (was) my 2005. At the time this pic was taken she had around 196,000 trouble free miles. I only got rid of her because I needed a 1/2 ton for towing capability. The 1/2 ton didn’t work out and I replaced it last year with this beauty.

 

Thanks , I’ve had like 6 tacos/tundras over the years but the 85 turbo will stay forever. All original and runs like a champ. A/c even still blows cold

 

My last "Pickup" A guy pulled out right in front of me and I t-boned them at 50 mph.

 

Oh man that sucks , I like the custom wood bed

 

My 2.7 96' Tacoma with 408K and a blown head gasket. I still have it, love this truck.

 

Oh how I’ve longed for one of these. Had an 86 EFI non turbo and wished I never sold it. That is a GEM.

 

A couple times a year I’ll take her out to a Cars N Coffee event , people always come and look at it and tell me “remember when “ stories . She fits right in with the M3s lol
