    Apparently, all 2006-2015 models have them.

    Also, speaking of A/C; If you truck has factory A/C, does it still work? Your truck looks like it's been to hell and back! One of my friends recently drowned his '95 in a flash flood and got it running again!

    Tacoma is stock and staying that way, Pickup is TBA as of now.
    Everyone will instantly notice how much cooler and sexier the first gen is and not even notice the second gen sitting there. That's how big the differences are!

    Clear title in my name! And even better, that free truck was brand spanking new with only 20 miles on the clock!

    well, it was a truck that was unnecessarily destined for the junkyard, but I saved it. Crappy brakes (bad LSPV) and surface rust covered frame (owner must have thought it was rusted through when it wasn't at all) with a crack in it, under the bed (not rust related) and in need of a paint job... Body and everything else was good and running strong.... so really I don't see any serious reason why it was destined to be junked

    The only thing left to do is the paint and a few minor things here and there. Yeah, AC still works, but it has ran out of gas lately (leak?). Also, both the original CD and cassette player still work

    I don't think my truck looks dated, and I don't think you truck looks dated...

    I don't think Toyota pickups ever truly go out of date!

    The factory sound systems in the first gens seemed to be superior to those in the 2nd gens...

    Whatever you do, DO NOT use A/C PRO to recharge your A/C.

    My right headlight is original to the truck and very worn-looking, whereas the left headlight was replaced after I rear-ended a Mustang and looks fine three years later...
