Any Tacoma Owners Over 50?

Yep, we just keep getting older, weirder, and hairier.

 

this thread should be over 75

 

First of all, 50 is not old, not by a long shot. I'm 50 and I never felt better! I've owned 4 or 5 trucks over the last 25 years, not necessarily for work, but more for play. I just purchased my first Tacoma (a loaded DCLB OR) 2 weeks ago and, I have to be honest, I was a little disappointed at first. I paid A LOT for this truck and I just felt it was a bit unrefined and 'loose' for the huge price tag. I suspect my expectations of a brand new Tacoma and its impeccable reputation had me a little bit too hyped. I've mostly gotten over it after driving the truck for a couple weeks.

Anyway, my plan is to eventually put a FourWheel Camper on it, but they are very pricey so that'll be a while. I want a comfortable, convenient and compact way to travel and this setup struck me as ideal. Us "old" guys like to get out in the wild too.

 

I'll be 58 on March 3rd... 2019 Sport Access Cab 4x4 in Calvary Blue, sleeping the N.W. PA. winter away till April !

 

No, that was the Internets

 

3rd Toyota since 2000. One 4Runner, two Tacoma's.

 

I remember sitting in a barber shop about 30 years ago...the shop was crowded. The guys ahead of me were older and the barber (single chair shop) was taking so long trimming eyebrows, ears, etc...I was (an ass) noticeably irritated...the barber looked over and said if you LIVE long enough this will be you one day...THAT day is now here.

 

How bout 81 and lovin' my Tacoma

 

Turned 50 this year so wife gave me permission to get a canopy. She never appreciated the utility of one like I do, said they were for old guys.

 

My Tundra has a camper shell, cap, whatever you may call them, but my ('20) Tacoma has to haul the dirt bikes!

 

I'm 67. The truck has 300 miles. Big Bend bound in 8 days. Yeah.

 

65 and just bought my first Tacoma.

 

What took you so long?

 

51, my new Tacoma arrives next week!

 

Yep. Just turned 50. Always owned the Toyota mini truck since 1986. Bought the 3rd gen tacoma in 2019. Great truck! Reminds me of my old 89 I bought new in 1989. Just a great truck!

 

Never needed a truck before. Would have gone F150 but wanted to park in my garage and wanted 4 doors.

 

You’re better off without the F150.
I’m 58 and I love my Tacoma.

 

My third Tacoma. I am 73 and my first truck was a 52 Chevy that I got in 1963.I wish to hell I was 50 years old again! If I outlive this truck, or it outlives me, you are only as old as you feel. I like to think I am 73 going on 16. (Well, I can dream.....)

 

Just turned 50 a month ago, just bought my Tacoma in June. Great truck, save a few glaring omissions options-wise....

 

64 and still have a K5 Gixxer 1000 also.
