Any Tacoma Owners Over 50?

The way people bitch, groan, and grumble about the most meaningless stuff on here makes me think the average age is around 80.

 

Get off my lawn!

 

Grumpy Old Men ………. Yes, guilty as charged

 

There's more negativity these days...and of course, more platforms from which to display those traits listed above.

It's best to walk around those replies.

 

64 here in the San Joaquin Valley. Took a road trip last weekend to Sonora Pass. Here is a picture before I got my Tacoma dirty

 

Just turned 63 and switched from 40+ years of Jeeps to my first Toyota. Loving the change, no regrets

 

I turned 50 in January. I have a small cattle ranch and drive an 09 Duramax since new... love that truck, but it is big for driving back and forth to work. Bought my son a new 22 TRD OR and liked his so much, bought me one too. Now the Dmax stays in the barn until I have to pull tractor/skid steer/ hay or cows... love love this truck

 

Sorry, I got fixated on the photo of the travel trailer. Very cool little unit!

 

I think I'm officially an "old guy" -- I will be 72 next month. FWIW, I also have an '07 Corvette.

I had a '91 Toyota pickup, an '11 Tacoma and my current truck (below) a '17 Tacoma -- all bought new, and numerous other trucks in between them.

I live on a dirt road in the woods and my primary heat source is coal. I need my truck to get out of here in the winter for one thing, as it is uphill to the road. And I used to haul coal home, 1500 lbs. at a crack, maybe 4 loads per season on average. Shoveling it off is heart-attack territory for an old guy (although I've never had one) so last winter I had them deliver the coal and will continue to do so.

I'm done working on my house so not hauling lumber, gravel, etc. anymore, so I don't really need a truck, for the first time in my life since 1975. But I do need 4- or all-wheel drive to get out of here. Not sure what I'm going to replace it with.

 

Reporting!

 

Im 68 now, on my second Tacoma. And still drive my 1968 FJ40 which I bought in 1970.

 

I am 69. On my 5th Tacoma an 06. I have had a new 2022 4runner TRD Pro on order for six wks, nothing yet.

 

61

First Taco, second Yota - had a '90 SR5 Xtra Cab that I did a 3.4 conversion on, until I picked up my Tacoma last year.

 

Not over 50, but am 41 going on 42.

 

I am 61 and it is my first Tacoma and first Toyota. I have been a Montero/Raider/Pajero owner since 1984 so this feels kind of wrong but my first 402 miles as of today has been nice. I've been a lurker on Tacoma World for many years. Not sure if I am keeping my JDM import turbo diesel Pajero or not, but every new mile in the Taco has me thinking about it less every day.

 

Get out!

 

72 here

 

Just curious since I’am in this age bracket. Has anyone down sized from tundra to the Tacoma here not needing the big truck?

 

I was 67 when I bought my 2016 Inferno TRD Off Road. I still love it. Only 59345 miles on it.
