So, who's keeping their 2nd Gen Tacoma?

Just bought a 2015. Haven't even paid the first car payment. I'm keeping mine forever

 

After all the money I put into her I am keeping her until she gives up on me!!

 

Yeah, When the Dakars were first installed it was quite a bit higher. We had to remove the 3rd leaf to get it down where I wanted it. Removing the leaf lowered it by almost a full inch. Now just has a slight rake to it.

 

I am keeping mine for a couple more years. As of now my next truck will be an F150. Not because I dont love my Tacoma, just need a bigger truck.

 

While I love my 05, even with all the first year bugs that got worked out & the new frame soon. I have undoubtedly outgrown my small truck. I am now in the market for a 3/4 or 1 ton truck. Anyone interested in my 05???

 

Keeping the 2013 till the wheels fall off. Next purchase will be a second vehicle, probably a sports car. Unless I start a family? Lol I'm only 20.

 

Just got my 08 and Paid cash, and im hoping to keep it for a long time, only issue is I like the DC's but I got the RC so that I wouldn't have to carry ppl around lol

 

Just bought my 2015 in January so yep - it will be with me for a loooooong time!

 

It would help if you provide some details.

 

I'm keeping my 2013 until it dies.

 

Just bought mine on Saturday. I plan on keeping it for a long time.

A am planning to give my 2011 Access Cab to my granddaughter when she starts driving. She is 21 months old now.

 

keeping the 2014 4.0L - gen 3 is backing up with the N/A 3.5L. i would be line if they offered a V8

 

I had an 06 AC with 95,000 on it, when I saw the first pics of what the ugly a$$ 16 was going to look like I ordered a 15 and love it. Hope to keep it a good long time.

 

I'm pretty upside down on this truck due to my previous POS car capping out on me (the 2nd one). I figured if I had to take a hit on a new vehicle I'm getting a reliable one that I like so I'm keeping it for the long haul.

 

Nothing wrong with the supercharged truck I have. In 7-8 years I'll think about a new truck.

 

Just bought mine in March. 2015 TRD Sport with 6 miles on it! Probably still in the honeymoon phase... but ive got 196,000 more miles to put on it before i consider selling!

 

I plan on keeping mine forever too.

 

13 pages of shenanigans. I think it's safe to say the 2nd gens will not be getting traded in for the abomination of a front end looking 3rd gen.
