Any Tacoma Owners Over 50?

They say 70 is the new 50. That would make me 51.

 

54 here and bought my first Toyota almost three years ago. 2017 white SR5 access Cab.

 

61 and still enjoying my Taco, my Dad is 90 and he loves his toys.

 

62, Toyota trucks since 1981

 

That’s funny. I looked at Tacoma’s for the last 5 years and decided to get one when the 3rd generations were going strong. My uncle is 78 and bought a new limited last year. I have bigger tires and put on some of those Amber grille lights. Definitely not too old to have a fun driver that holds road and does well in snow. My wife also likes the ride.

 

59. Drove my first in '77 at an auto parts store I delivered for. Owned my first in '79. A 79' SR5. I got stares back then, especially from my dad who wouldn't let me park "that Jap truck" in our driveway. He was a WWII vet. And from my buddies who all had built muscle cars along with me, a 71 El Camino SS 454. This was the gas crisis times, I couldn't afford gas for the built big block.
After retiring from the Navy in 02 I managed a company where we had 37 Tacoma 4x4's.
I've owned 5 Tacomas, in all gens.
I stare, and wonder why you don't drive a Tacoma.

 

64. Not as many stares as I get when I drive the STI. I did decide to de-wing it last year, now most people just think its a hopped up Prius. Doesn't bother me.

 

HA! Damn I feel good to be the young'un here at 53! Never too old to Taco out!

 

When it comes to age, we're all heading in the same direction.

 

52, my first truck,
and now when i drive it, I'm like that guy from "Goodfellas", lol
"I Bought It For My Wife. It's A Coupe. I Love That Car."
(my wife was opposed initially, and now she wants to drive it....)

 

So is it the consensus in here that the youth is wasted on the young?

 

Yup.

 

50 HA, that's old! I'm only 49 and 10 months.

 

61 here, but don't act/feel like it. I do have a cap/topper on mine. Some of the younger guys say those are for old guys.

 

Am 67 this May and still wheeling my 2nd gen. Every summer in Nevada. Plus multiple trips to the coast with our 17 Casita camping. Got my eye on a new 3rd gen, maybe, either a Tacoma or Tundra. Also looking at the Vagabond Drifters, drool.

 

Otherwise known as the " get off my lawn" thread!

 

I turn 55 in 3 weeks, been driving nothing but Toyota trucks since 1992, first Toy truck was an '86 extended cab 4x4 with the 22RE motor.

 

My son tells me the same thing. Then I shoot him a pic of mine when I have my bikes, kayaks or sailboat up on top. Then I ask him where doe he carry all his toys.

 

56 yr old here,only pic i got! at hunt camp

 

I m 63 I have driven and owned 2001 double cab with 4 cylinder, 2006 double cab TRD sport 2WD, and recently 2018 double cab TRD OFF ROAD 4WD Long Bed. I still own the 2016 repainted same silver color. Added navigation rearview camera looks great. And no I don't get stared at. Must be where I live in So. Calif that I don't get stared at. I changed the 2018 grille to a TRD Pro grille OEM with garnish, and I raised my vehicle 3 inches. Looks great my sensor works great.
