Any Tacoma Owners Over 50?

Wow. This a crazy thread. But oh well, I’ll bite. I’m closer to being able to get senior citizen discounts than I am to being a teenager. Bought my first truck before the stated numbering them ... in 1988. Pretty still doing all the things I did when I was 18. Just ask my wife! Do them maybe a little slower and with an ache and pain once in while, but doing them.

First new truck:


The rest of my garage:


And hobbies:

 

Im 60...

 

53. Body feels like 63, but my mind is variable. People don’t look at me because I am invisible.

 

3rd Toyota.. First new car I had was a..
1977 Landcruser FJ40.. Great Truck..
Next 1 was.. 2007 FJ Curser Manual..
Now 2016 Tacoma .. I'm in my late 60,s. WTF Where did the Time GOoooooo...

 

I'll be 60 next month.
My fleet...

 

I'm 58. Been around trucks my whole life, first Tacoma though.

"Old enough to know better but I do it anyway! You know why BECAUSE I can!"

 

Nice garage!! Thinking about getting a Corvette my self, hoping to find a gently used one when I retire next December.

 

Good luck in the retirement and the Vette search. They are out there, just need to be patient.
Yeah - Corvettes are fun cars to drive. Mine only sees good weather Spring to mid Fall then back under the cover in the garage.

Nothing like having the roof off on a beautiful day with some Metallica playing out with the Bose sound system!

 

49 almost there

 

65 and enjoying the 2016 SR5black DCSB with hard tonneau cover. My 2nd Tacoma. The 1st was a 2004 which wife rolled. I wish I still had that truck. It was a great truck. By the way 65 is young.

 

72 and on my second Tacoma. Passed my 2005 to my granddaughter
When I bought a 2017 new. Very happy with it.

 

I'm 62.5 and in good shape - people think I'm a kid. In fact hard to get hired because of my immaturity. Wait ok I made some of that up.

Really the only people who laughed at me for buying a Tacoma were my co-workers. Maybe that's because I had a WRX (2014 bought new) for the last 4+ years before buying my 2019. They said stuff like "your midlife crisis is regressing" and "manopause spinning out of control". Hahahahaha well screw them, I'm retiring (they are still working - GOOD BYE!) and Ima buying a $6000 mountain bike and gonna ride to the moon.

 

Hell - I can’t even remember when I was only 50...

 

50 and still love off-roading!

 

50 here.

 

Median age of a new Tacoma buyer is 54 years old!

Ha!!

 

I recently turned 50. What I found weird about turning 50 was that it was 30 years ago that I was 20! The good part of turning 50 is closer to seeing my plan of retirement (to do what I want) is getting closer.

The Tacoma IMHO is a smart, practical truck! I try more then ever to limit my bad decisions.

 

Good luck with that.

 

Just turned old enough for Medicare. Here's my Tacoma just before leaving Montana for LAB2V last year and me riding in the event.
