Tell me all the good things about your 3rd Gen Tacoma

What I like about mine it’s not a 4th Gen!

 

Mines got about 25k now...no issues

 

It reminds me of my 1993 sr5 v6 4x4 x-tra cab…. Oh, and chicks dig it. ;-)

 

I feel confident that I will arrive at my destination and get back home again no muss no fuss
and I'll look good doing it too.

Toyota:
Eats Dodge
Sh*ts Chevy's
Fa*ts Fords

 

V6, simple , capable truck that has unique look.

 

I guess that taco got sick of hearing " you are underpowered "

 

Friday?

 

It’s almost Friday.

 

• Not a Gen 4
• Paid for
• Perfect fit for me
• SR trim level is not overloaded with useless tech
• No fender flares
• Vast improvement over my 1991 Truck
• Radio works
• OBD Fusion works

 

Naturally aspirated engine with no turbo. Who cares if its not fast.

 

Funny, I feel exactly the same way about my 2014 2nd gen V6. Except for the SR trim level, fender flares, radio, and OBD Fusion.

 

I laugh at all the magazine review that rag on the Tacoma being clunky, uncomfortable, yada yada.
It seems they all want a rolling brothel instead of a truck.

The amusing part: the Hilux sells world wide (with a manual transmission), everywhere except the US where we demand "life style trucks."
I would have jumped all over a Hilux with the 2023 3.5L engine, especially with a 6 speed manual.
I really have no need for a Tacoma sized truck, especially the even larger Gen 4 models.

 

You guys and your fancy pants stuff.

My 2g 5 lug is awesome.

And more comfortable than my '59 Apache was.

Although even my little jewel is much more complex in every way.

 

I 100% know who is responsible for the smells inside of mine.

 

It has never let me down! I honestly can't say that about any domestic vehicle, truck or otherwise.

 

I think it’s going to be a classic someday, with low mileage examples going for big money. They are a “Last of a Breed” type of vehicle. Mine will be a hammered high school kids 250,000 mile brocoma by then.

 

The Gen. 3 Tacoma is my first new car.
The Tacoma can easily cruise at highway speeds fully laden for extended travel off pavement.
My dog loves the access cab.
It's great having a dedicated "travel" rig, and leave the daily driving to the beaters in my fleet.

Cheers
