Am I too old to own a Tacoma?

I'll be 69 in two months and just bought my second Tacoma. Couldn't bring myself to buy a SUV. I'll admit that I drive like a grandpa now, but I tinted the side glass so no one can see that I actually AM a grandpa! There's an old saying: "You can sell an old man, a young man's car...but you can't sell a young man, an old man's car."

 

I work for a major US based tire manufacturer and I can confirm that the “average” tire is indeed heavier these tires. Simply because more people are buying big tires than ever before.

 

Turning 35 this month and been loving and wanting a Tacoma for a decade and a half but always had a company truck. Finally got my first one this year.

 

69

 

44 today. Just young enough to remember stuff. Like Toyota trucks before they were called Tacoma. I'll never forget driving that bouncy SOB '82 back and forth cross the country!

 

I forget who makes these trucks again?

 

Happy birthday!

 

Thanks! I work with a bunch of younger guys who make me feel old. I used to attend meets & I would never give out my age. Just blend in & watch what stories I tell

 

I’m 41. Was wondering when I am supposed to be issued the mandatory RV and truck front end tow bar that I’ll be required to use when Mabel and I hit the ole road!



(Hint: I really wouldn’t mind RVing! Lol)

 

Oh, hell no.
MOST people I see on road that has a Tacoma are in that age and many older. I'm 49. I had a 2nd gen and now 3rd gen.
If I had to buy a Jeep because it's for "older " crowd, I'd rather get a station wagon than drive a Jeep.
Meets are for younger crowds. Doesn't mean ALL are in that age bracket. Hawaii has a LOT of Tacomas, a LOT . When I go to get gas sometimes there's 2 or 3 and just give a "what's up" nod and they looks to be around my age.

 

58 in a few months.
Taco
lifted F'n'J
<< '72 Nova since High School in '78
What's the problem??

 

The manual said that a Tacoma will actually make you feel younger

 

Just bought my first Tacoma at 64. Makes me feel like I'm 62 at least!

 

My first one at soon to be 52

 

71

 

Bought my first Tacoma ever this year.....I'm 54. I've owned about 35 vehicles but this is my first Toyota!

BTW...I really love this truck!

 

51 here! Hell no your not too old. Look into the 50+ thread on here.

 

Well, I’m 60, just got first Tacoma, had a 81 and 89 but they were just called pickups, strayed to a Tundra in 2002 but upgraded to a 2018 4x4 TRD last week.

 

Never to old to enjoy what makes you happy
