What happened to Toyota Trucks?

2nd gen tacos are the best!!

 

WITH THE DIESEL OF COURSE

 

I love my 2nd gen, but would love to get a first gen as a trail rig.

 

2nd gens blow chunks... the only vehicle ever built that body repairs are made with a hot glue gun.....

 

Haha that's funny!

 

Wow, that was seriously your first post in TACOMAWORLD. This isn't a "mini" truck site.

 

I like Skittles.

 

My experience with Toyota Trucks dates back to the late 1970s and includes alot of work on all my Toyota trucks from the HiLux to the first generation Tacoma. First post or not I can voice my opinion based on many years of Toyota Truck experience. I will never buy a 2nd generation Tacoma for reasons explained in my original post.
The responses to my post have explained the reason for the 2nd generation change. But it seems the price of first generation is high due to many others like me who prefer it over the current design.

 

I don't like the looks of the first Gen Tundra but you don't here me complaining about it do you? Its personal taste to each his own. You don't like it? That's fine get something else. No loss.

 

Check out pricing from Edmunds or any other place you chose. You will not find a 1st Gen with a higher value than a 2nd Gen. However, there are those who would pay more than fair market value, as value is subjective. But don't blanket statement and try to make up facts. Book value is book value.. a 2004 is not worth more than a 2005. Or pick any 1st Gen year... hell go back to pre-Tacoma.. the further back the lower the value.

I don't think he's saying the 1st gens are going for more than the 2nd gens, just that since the 1st gens are out of production therefore making them more valuable since some prefer them.

 

If something is more valuable shouldn't that translate to more money? Supply and demand, right? And if the asking and selling prices are no higher than book... than what is he going on about?

my 2011 2nd access cab tacoma is 208.1" long and 74.6" wide, a 2004 xtra cab is 202.9" long and 70.3" wide.
a 2012 silverado extended cab is 230.2" long and 79.9" wide.

your definition of "full sized" is flawed. 2nd gens are much closer is size to the 1st gens than they are a silverado.

 

there u go, posting those silly facts. u know facts dont hold up to opinions

 

No one cares about your experience. You prefer the 1st gen, that's fine. Many do. There's a difference between that, and just coming out and bashing the 2nd gen while passing your opinion off on fact. Don't like the 2nd gen, as mentioned don't buy one. No one cares that you're not buying one because you don't like the new ones. I prefer the 2nd gen myself. I don't create a thread saying how much I hate the 1st gen (which I don't). It's a pointless thread to make that serves no other purpose other than ruffling peoples feathers.

Everyone knows facts aren't valid in internet debates.

 

49% of facts are made up

If you dont like the 2nd gens, as others have said, thats cool, its your opinion. I, as many others, prefer the 2nd gen. And then others, prefer the 1st gens and pre-tacos. Thats cool, each to their own.

This too

 

HAHAHA look at how butt hurt and offended everyone is getting because some random nobody's FIRST, clearly opinionated and biased, post is bashing 2nd gens! Jesus i was not aware everyone here was so thin skinned.

 

famous...Sig worthy

 

Oh lord, who invited all the 2nd gen mutton heads in here? There goes the 1st gen forums again ?

Op, I know you are new here but next time you want to start a non constructive derp conversation, post it with where it belongs: the 2nd gen forums.

 

dont u have some stupid way to get bushings out of your rear leafs?
