    My 1st Tacoma was an 03 Prerunner, 3.4L, dbl cab, 2WD short bed. After 15 years and 136K miles the little truck owes me nothing. I change the oil, filters, tires, put on a new stainless exhaust. The dash lights just went, the AC just stopped, The tranie does not like to upshift until warm, it recently developed a vibration on take off (disappears coasting or cruising over 60 MPH). I was looking to upgrade to a Gen 1 dbl cab with 4WD (I wanted to drive in the NE winters) when I ran into Gen 2's with modern equipment, components and devices. I just had to have one. So I am now in a 2013 TRD, 103K miles, dbl cab, short bed, with a Bakflip tonneau, rain gaurds, and nerf bars. I love this truck. With luck I will live long enough to pass it on to my daughter. She said she is not holding her breaaaaath.

    You picked one of the best years for the 2nd Gens.
    2013-2015 were best of the best IMO.
