    So according to this thread https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/second-gen-owners-age-group-poll.359607/ it looks like the age of Tacoma owners is pretty much evenly spread. I'd argue that any difference between the 20 somethings vs the 60+ somethings is simply the comfort/lack of comfort with technology. Being much closer to 60+ than 20 I'm still basically a 22 year old kid wondering what the hell happened. So, no I'm just the right age for my truck.

    I drove minivans for a couple of years for work. They were full of samples, not a lot of choice. Later went to pickups. Now I have a pickup and a van, but both of them are cooler than before....

    I bought mine at 25...but that was after a recommendation from my 50 year old coworker. Since I bought it I've had 3 coworkers come to me asking about it, because they are looking to buy one. All three of them were 35+ (one was 52). This truck does not belong to a certain age group!

    Never too old, I'm 93, maybe that's why I get weird looks, or maybe it's my mullet dread locks with flat top, but I don't care what other people think.:bikewhoops:Live free or die.


    jk, I'm not 93.

    Thank you, sir! :cheers: The "old guy" I bought my truck from had every oil change and service performed ON TIME and after 10 years the truck didn't have a single scratch under it with the original wheels in near mint condition. Cracked me up. :rofl:

    I'm 60, just ordered my 4th Taco, a 2016 TRD for personal and to use in my grave digging business. That's right "I"ll be the last one to let you down!". Going to retire a '98 with 360,000 that my assistant is driving! It's still going strong and on it's second set of sparkplugs.

    Bluetooth can be turned off, QI charging has a separate switch to turn it on, nav has to be turned on, and as mentioned above, the whole screen dims when the lights are turned on

    Are floor mats a mod?
    53, on my 3rd Taco, 5th Toyota truck. My taco is more modded than in my pic ( need to update) and I actually off road it.
    As an older executive, I can drive anything I want under about $125k, and other than a Raptor, which is too big, my Taco is the only truck I would drive. I do have other cars, but drive my Taco about 90% of the time, and get lots of compliments from all ages.
    On the other hand, just about everyone who knows me says I'm very immature.....

    Tacoma is stock and staying that way, Pickup is TBA as of now.
    I don't see how age can reflect on what you drive. What does he have to say about old guys driving fast cars like Corvettes and such? I see more old guys driving flashy cars than young guys it seems! The other day, an elderly couple showed up at the shop for an oil change in a 5 lug extended cab with a stick shift. Many people seem to think driving manuals is a young person's thing also but I know plenty of old guys/gals still bombing around in them as well. One lady at my church a few years back had an old car with a 5 speed and she was nearing 90 years old at the time and still rowing the gears..

    One can never have too many light bars.
    I think tacomas are more prevalent in a younger crowd but they are definitely not age specific. One side of the car/age spectrum has a Golf GTI on one side and the other is a Cadillac STS. I think the Tacoma is somewhere in the middle. Tacomas also are in the middle when it comes to income range. I know people that work for 10 bucks an hour that drive a tacoma and people that make well into the 6 fig range that drive tacomas as well.

    Hey, 58 here and some of us even have Sports with the hood scoop. Not necessarily by choice, it just happened to be the best deal I found on a used late model when I was searching.
