Do strangers compliment your stock (ish) truck?

If I don't want to talk I tell 'em my English no good

 

How's that work out for ya on the forums...

 

Bought mine a couple months ago and I constantly get compliments and it’s 100% stock at the moment

 

BBP is the best color

I get comments all the time.

 

Only if my wife takes the truck out it gets compliments, and the only visible mod it has is a set of ditch lights. Besides that its a stock SR5. Literally ALL THE TIME. Not one stranger has complimented the truck when I'm driving it -_-

 

I had a cop at the beach tell me it was a nice truck.

He said, "Nice truck, where's your pants, sir?"

 

As others have mentioned there are so many Tacoma’s in my area that nobody notices my truck. The only compliments I have received on my truck have been on Tacoma World. Thanks guys.

 

"Excuse me sir, you dropped your wallet"

"I don't talk to strangers" Keeps walking...

 

I hear you… I frequently drive north on University from Arapahoe to Hampden. It’s incredibly rare that I don’t see at minimum - one 3rd gen Taco, one 5th gen 4Runner and a Tundra of some sort. Every time. Usually it’s multiples.

 

That's a pretty truck!

 

All the time, average once at two weeks. Latest one was today after car wash, driver slows down and yells through lowered window
"Man, your truck look really sick!" Well, thanks!

 

Only been driving mine for a few days. Same as you. Seemingly always someone in a Tundra, 4Runner, or Taco. I did catch someone in a newer Ranger snap their neck passing while I was sitting at a stop light. I'm guessing it's the WCP, as it was rather sunny today. Sunlight plays cool tricks with this colour.

 

While I love my new OEM LED headlights, I will admit I got more stares (friendly or otherwise) when I had the Morimotos lol during the day those things were f*cking awesome with their bright ass DRL.

It was night driving where things got sketchy lol these days I don't even turn on my fogs anymore since the OEM reflector LEDs work their magic so much better...

 

Only time it was awkward was when this guy called my stock height 265’s taco a beast. He was like duuuude this truck os such a beaaaast am over here feeling like it needs 315 to look proportional

 

Personally, I get compliments from other Tacomas fairly often. I'm in OR and there's tons of them everywhere here. All shapes, colors, models, etc. Ive also gone out of my way to compiment other tacos when i see slmething i like. Mine looks fairly stockish as a pavement princess but my SR5 does have:

Predator Steps
Morimoto xb LED gen 2 headlights (White & amber drl switchs)
Raptor lights
TRD Pro Grill
TRD Lift Kit
TRD Pro "Sema" Wheels
275/70/17 Falken wildleak at3w
Trd pro tails
Meso led tail kit
Blackout sequential turns and emblems

 

Yes! I have gotten so many looks and compiments on my morimoto xbs. I haven't seen a single person in my city with them

 

I don't drive it all the time but when I do I have people make comments like nice truck or looking good. Some have asked questions but most of the comments are from the techs at the dealer or people waiting for their vehicle. Its like Toyota country around here with the Toyota dealership 5 miles from the house.

 

Dearborn is Ford Country - not a lot of Tacos. Compliments are few and far between. I bought my DCLB TRD-OR in Oregon and drove east on the TAT - lots of Tacos out west.

 

Great post, covers a lot!

 

When I first picked up my truck in 2020, I didn't think anything of it since it was stock and I was coming from a heavily modded FJ. There are thousands of Tacos in my area too, so it's dime a dozen. But, apparently I was the first Army Green in the State and that got everyone crazy because I had people pulling up to me at lights chatting me and on the highway with the thumbs up and even women from work saying how much they loved the color. Pretty funny what color's do! lol
