    I have owned two 1st gen Tacoma and am in the market for a replacement. Anybody have experience with 2nd gen? There's a 2006 V6 with low miles I'm looking at but know nothing about them. Any input is appreciated!

    I've owned an 05 and 07 Taco. They are bigger than 1st gen. Less cabin noise, more power. What else would you like to know?

    Thanks for replying! Reliability, longevity, any typical issues like having to lift the tailgate handle on the 1st gens to latch it?

    Go to the 2nd gen area and read up on these. These questions have been answered over and over.
