    My wife finally drove my Tacoma this weekend (I've had it for a year) and she completely ruined it.

    As we pulled away from the house, she commented - "This truck doesn't have any pickup. It doesn't feel like a truck engine."

    Sigh, now that is stuck in my head. Obviously the torque curve is pathetic, having to wind it over 3k rpm (even with a tune) to get any oomph is sad. Got in my truck this morning and was like, damn, she's right, curse this car engine!

    Happy Friday Eve, and I look forward to the collective snark...

    I bought my Tacoma for 3 reasons:
    Rugged
    Capable
    Reliable

    Have you ever had a vehicle in the shop 4 times a year? I have. It sucks.

    It aint supposed to be a racecar. Its supposed to be reminiscent of the old Japanese heritage of Cruisers, Hilux, Troopers, and Patrols: asthmatic bricks that go nowhere fast, yet somehow they just go.

    At least thats what I tell myself every time I drive it. :oops:
