My Taco is my Daily Driver

So is my taco. It my daily and I go everywhere with it. Three years old and 42,000 miles on it.

 

A Tacoma has been my daily for almost 22 years.

 

I would have zero "real" complaints if it weren't for the stupid gear hunting on road trips.

 

brother!

 

Same here.. I was counting the shifts at one point with cruise control on and no cars in front of me and I counted 4 shifts in less than 10 seconds. There's no excuse for that.

 

Toyota's engineers programming the computer for EPA and MPG's unfortunately. KDMax to resolve that.

 

DD and my only regret is the short drive

 

Daily drove my ‘03 for over 200,000 miles & loved it until it was totaled last August. With this 2018, I’m hoping to put another 200,000 on it. I’ve owned Toyota trucks for many years & gotta say, I wouldn’t drive anything else. Always been very happy with these trucks!

 

Mine hauls the kids to school and daycare every day, and gets me to work. What I love is only needing one vehicle to do that AND be able to go just about anywhere at any time. I ended up selling my quad because I find I can take my taco to the places I thought were quad access only.

 

21 SR5 DC 4WD. Great DD. Its a truck. I still get better MPG than my wife's Lexus rx350. 60 miles commute a day. All around great vehicle.

 

No real need to justify a vehicle choice. This is my 4th Tacoma. It is my workhorse, my money maker but I prefer the RX350 for comfort. Shoot me. The Tacoma goes where I may need 4wd or where I need the utility or I don’t care as much about potential damage from industrial fallout etc.
It’s a good truck, I hope the next generation is a step up in comfort.

 

and to add a thought...my 14 yr old daughter, when given the choice...picks the Tacoma when we go somewhere as a family.

 

I like driving mine. I feel good in it. I feel like I'm in a capable vehicle that will get me where I'm going and then some.

 

I DD mine and if I could only have one vehicle, I would keep my Tacoma. I have other cars that are better at this or that, and the Tacoma can do anything. It’s like the Swiss Army Knife of vehicles.

 

I bought my 2017 Sport with the intention of daily driving it. The only thing I would change is, I shouldn't have bought my Corolla and should have bought a first gen Tacoma. Oh well, I have a Tacoma now and love it.

 

Great to see you all enjoy daily driving your tacomas. I used to have an 05 as a daily driver and it was great. A few trucks later here I am in my 15 tundra and using it as a daily driver. It is a nice comfortable ride, but overkill especially when I’m alone 95% of the time in it. Oh and the 14 mpg gets old quick 300 miles to the tank that’s it. I do 50 miles a day round trip. I have contemplated getting another Tacoma….
