How long have you had your tacoma, and is it your first?

I've had 2-
A 2006 sport 6M from 2010-2016.
My 2016 off-road 6A from 16+.

Sometimes I hate to admit it because I want to be a big man with a diesel 3/4, but it is the right truck for me.

I also learned to drive stick on a 97 4cyl Tacoma when I was about 13 or 14. That started the love affair with little Toyotas.

 

I'm hoping the same, bought it when I was 22, hoping it turns into one of those"it's the miles that makes the man" trucks!

 

Surprised you didn't get kicked off here going from a 6MT to a 6AT lol, I'm with you thought I like the automatic in a truck for some reason

 

First Tacoma, 15 months ago 6,400 miles now.
Past Toyotas are:
2018 Tundra Sport
1996 Land Cruiser
1993 Camry XLE V6
1989 Supra

 

First Tacoma, four years and going strong.
Never looked back...

 

I came from a 2012 and power seats, electric windows and LED lights are by far the best parts along with factory CarPlay.

 

I left the 3 pedal church after my 2006 because that was not a good transmission. The throw out bearing was an issue and 3rd was grinding bad by 90k miles. I know the 16 got a different trans, but I was not hopeful. Also, for low speed technical stuff without a crawl box, I was slipping the clutch way too much. Auto made better sense to me on many levels.

 

My first was an 04 TRD dcsb it was a great truck till someone pulled out in front of me on a highway and hit a tree when I left the road at 50 mph to avoid t-boning the in-bread clown on snow and ice covered roads. It protected my wife and daughter and I everyone walked away after hitting the tree. Since then I've had a 16, 19 and now a 21. I will never not own a Tacoma after it kept us all alive.

 

Bought a first year 2nd Gen OR new in 2005. Traded it 5 years later for a new Silverado. Drove a few different vehicles since but always regretted trading my 2nd Gen. Back in a Tacoma for 2 years now. Still thrilled driving my truck every time I get in it.

 

I saw a Nissan PRO-4X in the parking lot at work and thought it looked pretty cool. I went home and Googled it to get some info on it. First result was a YouTube comparison between the PRO-4X and the TRD Off-Road and the TRD was superior in every way. Never looked back.

 

Wanted to replace my old Rav4 with a Crosstrek but wife convinced me to get a 2015 SR5 DCLB. Then got a 2017 SR5 DCLB. Now on a Sport SB. Ah I hate when's she is right

 

My First, 1996, owned 25 years. 414,000 trouble-free miles and still going:
2nd, 2018 TRD Sport owned 3 years. 24,000 trouble-free miles and of course still going:

 

2nd Taco and this one is a 17

 

91 PU
94 PU
99 SR5 Tacoma
2016 TRD OR (current)

 

2002 double cab 4 months. I like the lack of gadgets. Feels more like a real truck. Hope it lasts

 

Bought a new 1999 Tacoma and it was totaled in 2009 in an accident. I bought a new 2009 Suzuki Equator mostly because it was cheaper and I liked the look to replace it. Bought a new 2016 Tacoma which I still have and hopefully always will.

 

My first Tacoma, had it 32 Months now. I had an 83 Toyota SR5 From 1986-1998 and a 1998 Ford Ranger XLT from 1998 to 2018 prior to my Tacoma.

 

4th Toyota pickup, 3rd Tacoma. Had my '06 TRD OR for over 14 years. Now in my '21 TRD OR AC. Probably my last.

 

this is my 2nd Tacoma: 2021 SR5. Back in 1996 i bought a 96 4x4 (exactly like the one under my name). went to a Tundra after that but always missed the Tacoma. After going truckless for many years (Mustang Cobra, Pontiac GTO, and a few others), i bought an F-150....another mistake.... nothing but problems. So Im back in a Tacoma and Im planning on holding onto this one unless I get another 4x5

 

First Tacoma, about 7 months and about to hit 7k miles.
