is the 3rd gen anyone elses first tacoma?

I am glad the truck is working for you. i guess I expected more.

 

The Taco was my first Toyota. Before that it was all Ford's or GM's. Except for the year prior to getting the Taco, I had a 2015 Jeep Cherokee. for some reason it kept going into limp mode and would stay in whatever gear I was in when it decided to do that. A few trips to the dealer and no resolutions, got rid of it got the Taco. No issues except for a few weeks ago the factory battery decided to die. That finally forced me to install the dual battery kit that has been sitting on a shelf for over a year.
Lots of money thrown into it otherwise. Lift, tires and 5.29's being the big 3 to date.

 

This happened at an Armor Conference here at Fort Knox a few years ago. My buddy's Tacoma, really happened, and that black truck is really that heavy.

f250s weight 6800lbs so seems about right

 

This was a special armored version, on display, they were basically trying to sell the government on it.

 

Ohh damn

I guess pulling something out of a ditch and towing it 500 + miles are a little bit different.

 

First Taco, 3rd Toyota, first was 96 T4R then 03 T4R. wanted one for a while and finally pull the plug, happy customer so far

 

Recent convert from an 1997 80 Series Land Cruiser with 4.7L V8 Conversion. Had it 7 Years and loved every minute. Have a 200 Series and have had a 100 Series. .

I purchased the Tacoma as a specific platform for a camper build to replace the 80 Series. I'm really happy with the truck and so far it has exceeded my expectations.

Cheers -

2016 3rd Gen was my first Taco, now on my second one (and it's better right off the lot).

Only one other Toyota, 2012 RAV4 V6.

 

I was just sharing it because of the meme of a post right above it, I wasn't providing a testimonial, other than I was there.

 

yea i think its awesome

I always wondered what I would do if some of my bigger companions got stuck in sand.

 

First Toyota. I've always wanted one and finally decided to pull the trigger. Love the truck! But hate that I want to spend another $10k on it LOL.

 

First Toyota and first truck (that I can call my own). My family was a Nissan family growing up, so my dad had a variety of hardbodies, Frontiers, and an Xterra.

 

My first Toyota and Taco, liked it so much bought the wife a 2019 Rav4.

 

Just helped my buddy replace a rebuilt motor in his 1993 LC 80. Boy that was a lot of work ha.

 

My first Tacoma, yes. My first Toyota pickup, no. I owned a 1980 2wd regular cab 4 speed manual in "banana" yellow from 1986 - 1997.

 

First Toyota coming from a 94 Ranger bought new. After driving it for 3yrs and 30,000 miles I'd say it's an OK truck. 75% happy with it.

 

1st Toyota ever. I’ve always been in a ford family & still currently have my 01 ranger that I bought new. Love that truck. But my 2019 Tacoma was a huge upgrade. I’ve worked for Nissan & Toyota so I’ve drove a lot of both brands of trucks. Toyota definitely has the better trucks & really vehicles in general. Got about 13k on my Tacoma & haven’t experience any of the taco complaints I read on here or the few customers that come in. The 3gens tacos are seriously the best looking small truck on the market!

 

First Tacoma. Had a 2002 tundra for 18 years and did nothing but brakes and tires hoping the same with the Tacoma

Was a Honda guy before this, none of that N.A. crap for me!
