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

6MT

 

100% this. Over 50k miles nearing 3 years ownership, still love shifting gears.

 

There is honestly nothing I don't love about my 2023 TRD Off Road 4X4 LR. It's a great looking little rig. Things I like the most are the interior, especially the 360 degree air vents. Also, love that little V6 emblem that is on the tailgate.

 

Its...BITCHIN

 

I like my manual tranny '17 SR 'cause it's one of the last of the pre-nanny gadget old-school 4x4 pickups. Nothin' fancy, just gets 'er done.

 

It's my first new vehicle and my loan balance is $837 right now. Ain't no way I'm trading for that 4 banger turbo 4th gen. Less than 2 months of bi weekly payments to the credit union and I'm payment free.

 

Looks goooooooooood

 

Push button start and one touch on door handle to lock/unlock.
The fob never leaves my pocket.

Then there is the mod i did "ECT on at startup"

 

Just hit 60k, 6MT, Runs good and runs like a truck. Helps me get my job done daily. I love my truck and I have it just the way I want it. No more Mods. TW has caused me to spend a lot of money lol. Probably the last Manual trans I will be able to buy and will be forced to drive an auto because that will be all that is available years down the road.

 

101K miles and still reliable with no major issues

 

Paid Off

OTT

Made in USA (San Antonio Texas)

 

What he said, except for #2. This is the most comfortable vehicle I have ever owned. Cruises 80 mph @ 2000 rpm and 23 mpg. Smooth and quiet. Also the first automatic I have owned. I pretty much love everything about it.

 

Paid off. Pretty easy DIY maintenance, last of it's kind with modern technology with out the 4 banger turbo.

 

The best thing about my turd gen is, I sold it and bought a fourth gen

 

It's my front-row ticket to this forum. Happy Friday everyone.

And, my wife can't drive MT

 

I like- I like the way the line runs up the back of the stockings
I've always liked those kind of high heels too. You know, I...
No no no no, don't take 'em off, don't take... Leave 'em on, leave 'em on
Yeah, that's it, a little more to the right, a little more....

 

EVERYBODY WANTS SOME

I think it looks great (better than most other mid-size offerings), it is simple and it seems very easy to work on.

 

Hometown ain’t lying! Thee whole truth and nothing but!

 

101k and never an issue or CEL. This is my 5th Tacoma.

Also had a 2.7 2005, 2.7 2006, 4.0 2009, 4.0 2013, and now my 3.5 2016. Across all 5 trucks outside of routine maintenance, I have had to change one bad alternator (2005). I'll have a 2024 soon and will be brutally honest with any issues. I am keeping my beloved 2016. Much much more to do and maintain.

 

I would rather talk about how the board has improved with the new shiny 4th gen out and seeing all the constant complainers jump for a newer model (its refreshing)
