What did you drive before your Tacoma?

2014 Ram 1500 (my first and last Chrysler product)

 

I hear ya on that..The second pic is me stuck in my own driveway BTW...

 

2002 Mitsubishi Montero Limited. Almost made it to 200k...

 

RIGHT before the Taco... a set of shackles.

Before that... 2001 Dodge Ram x-cab 4x4.

 

2005 Wrangled LJ, I really loved it but needed something more reliable and usefully, hence my Taco replaced it. Mitch

 

Immediately prior to the Taco was my 05 V70R...spectacular ride. Sold it before it got too expensive!

 

Just kidding; I drove a 2000 4Runner.

Replaced my 4Runner with a smaller more fuel efficient scion as gas was 4+ dollars at the time in Portland. Clearly a good fit for my lifestyle.

 

1997 is almost this century.

 

94 Nissan Pickup King Cab (blown head gasket). 94 Toyota Pickup Single Cab, (frame rotted out). 2004 Infiniti i35 (hit a deer at 65 mph, totaled). 2002 Mitsubishi Mirage shitbox (don't drink and drive). 2003 Pontiac Bonneville (arguably the worst car ever, too many problems to list). My current 2010 Tacoma Access Cab 2.4L

 

I drove a 1970 Mercedes Benz 220D. I wanted to sell it while it was still running. They have a cult following. Before that I had and F250 4wd and a 1978 2wd Toyota pickup. I bond with my vehicles.

 

Was the Mercedes custard yellow?

 

2014 Ford Escape 2.0l ecoboost. It was a good vehicle and filled the towing bill just fine with our Rpod 177.



When we upgraded our travel trailer to a 179 we required a higher rated tow vehicle that would fit into the parkade at our apartment building. Tacoma won on size, specs, reputation and we just liked the look of it. Very happy so far..

 

2011 Honda accord, ill never buy another sedan or small car ever again, trucks are my fit.

 

Ok, this. It was one hell of a lot of fun.

 

1987 Chevy Silverado with 150,000 miles and every minor and major part replaced at least once : (

( my 2000 Tacoma at 130,000 miles is still running on all original parts : )

 

It was tobacco brown (the official name).

 

Immediately prior to my Tacoma, I had a 2014 VW Passat TDI. It got exactly 40.0 MPG for the entire 83K miles I owned it, but the turbo exploded at 7K miles, heater core went out at around 55K, and then at 79K it blew another turbo. various other much less significant issues it had, as well. Due to the big "dieselgate" emissions scandal and class action lawsuit, VW agreed to buy back my TDI (and many others of certain model years) at significantly higher than Blue Book rates. So, I sold it back to VW and used the money to put as a huge down payment on my Tacoma.

I have always been a truck guy (queue up the Joe Diffe). Before the VW I owned a 2001 Dodge Cummins, which is still my all time favorite vehicle, but I sold it during a very tough financial situation I was in at the time. When the time came to replace that crappy VW, I debated which truck to get, but right now as I'm in an apartment (no need to haul anything), and have to deal with very small parking spaces, a full sized truck just isn't practical for me at this time. Not to mention a new Cummins would be about double the price of my 2017 Off Road

I am very, very happy with my Off Road.

 

Sold these two for my tacoma:
