    What does age issues have to do with driving a truck?

    I know old farmers still driving manuals with arthritis and back issues.

    I sold mine for health/ vision issues, miss it all the time. The T4R is easier for both my wife and I to drive, less blind spots.

    My Dad bought a new Tacoma on his 78th birthday and loves it. Comes up with reasons to leave the house just to drive it. He does complain though when stepping into my Bronco with 37s.

    IMO the 4 Runner has more blind spots compared to a Tacoma.
