3rd gen Tacoma Appreciation thread

Welcome to TW!

If you like chrome accents and brownish seats limited is a good choice. Its got all luxury options and upgraded JBL stereo. Also comes with sunroof and 18" wheels.

Good luck!

 

I enjoy driving this truck! No complaints

 

Nice shot, hopefully you got some good winter tires !

 

Just the stock OR wheels/tires in the winter. I use a set of 4Runner OR wheels with stock Dueler HT’s in the summer.

 

Second 3rd gen I’ve owned. No issues, no complaints, over 20 mpg. Stuck twice but my fault for driving in lake silt axle deep but I know what it won’t do now

 

Thanks for the input, actually black leather seats, the brown (hickory) are not to my liking. I just hope the Toyota quality has not wained over the years, my 2005 is running like a Top, will hate toes it go, even at 350K miles

 

My nephew sell rangers, I test drove oneofthe 1st to get to New England, not impressed, was less impressed after I got on my back and crawled under it. I could've got it cheap but not 1/2 the truck asa Tacoma.

 

No problems with mine. I drove it 110miles a day for over a year and it never let me down or had any issues. The styling is cool, I don’t care for all the creature comforts. I need a working radio and power windows and I’m set. 4x4 works when it’s needed. What more can you ask for?

 

Awesome little truck. I’ve owned two 3rd gens but this one is my favorite

 

For the last couple of days, the Vancouver area was hit with a winter storm that shuts down the city. Cars, trucks and buses stuck everywhere. Schools shut down, people told not to travel unless necessary. It fell on my days off so I got the opportunity to drive my truck around in these harsh conditions. I drove up an ice covered sloped street and was following a Dakota 4dr 4wd. He was spinning and struggling and started sliding backwards. To avoid a collision, I backed up onto a side street and let him slide past me, then drove up the same hill without wheel spin. I went bombing around side streets where the virgin snow still lay almost a foot deep and the truck didn't protest. Parked on a hill in a big mount of snow while my daughter went sledding and drove out of it later with no issue. I am very impressed with the ability of this vehicle.

 

Im a bit jelaous.
Unfortunately i didnt get to rip around in my truck last couple days. Had my work van the whole time. I did drive in the snow going snowboarding quite a bit and i was impressed every time. I dont even have dedicated winter tires, just KO2s.

For most part traction control and VSC work great, but sometimes i like to turn the trac control off to get that momentum you need.

Im picking up my truck tomorrow from work and the snow is melting now...

 

Nice rig man! Love those sliders

Those are 20 ° right?


One day ill get some too, haha! Just cant afford at the moment

 

Glad you are enjoying your trouble free truck!
How many miles you got?

What more can you ask for?! Just ask TW, haha! You will be surprised with the answers.

 

Thanks, they are white knuckle sliders at 15 degree

 

Right around 41k. Haven’t put but a few hundred miles on it in the past half a year or so. It now sits in the garage until we go offroading.

I tend to let the static of TW turd gen haters be what it is, just background noise.
