07 DCLB SR5 4X4 4.0 AUTO

Indigo Ink

170K

Damn that list is long. My truck is the best because its been paid off for years with no repairs needed. just keep ticking

oh and DCLB is the best FTW

 

I love mine bc its got a manual trans and a roots blower. Makes for a fun daily

 

If it ain't a double cab long bed it ain't shit

 

326xxx miles and counting. Enough said!

 

I paid $5K for my PreRunner SR5 DCLB with 128K miles, that made it the best for my wallet. Now I want to make it a SAS 4wd and destroy the resale value, lol, FTW.

 

Its got the best damn driver I have ever seen!

 

Welp this guy wins with the blower and MT...lol

I'm goin to say the memories in my truck make it great. Lots of good stories

 

I forgot to mention mine....
mileage & reliability

 

I'm not vain enough to think my truck is the best.



















but it is because it hauled my ass to UCSD Moores Cancer Center from Reno through a pretty good blizzard to have surgery that saved my life.

 

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

Fuck Cancer

 

My grand-paw committed suicide and left it to me. Miss him dearly. But greatly appreciate the truck, I needed it. My 96 was on its last leg.

 

^^^^THIS!

 

Because I own this one

 

'13. White. 5 lug. 28k miles.

AC is cold, jukebox works.

Does everything I want or need it to do at a very low TCO.

 

It’s fully paid for and has another 10 years/150,000 miles left in it, easy!

 

2012 DCSB 4.0 V6 4X4. Manufactured in Mexico. No secondary Air Pump!!!!
Presently has156,000kms (96,000 miles)
I bought it 2 years ago with 129,000kms (80,000 miles)
First Tacoma and absolutely love it. Drives like a truck, which l like.
She's bone stock. Which for me keeps things simple and reliable. l do all my own maintenance, and she's been very reliable.

What makes her great is the fact that she's mine, and she's all paid for. Plan on keeping her forever!!!

 

Suicide sucks major ass

My brother committed suicide 27 years ago on 12/13/1992. Everyday I miss him. Keep on Keeping on. I’m sure your grand paw is happy you have his truck.

 

I can park it without hassle in the city

 

ill echo that sentiment

moved to a truck because its just nice having a bed to throw firewood, fence posts, sandbags, barkdust, plants, 4x8 sheets of plywood, and anything and everything i dont want in the same space as myself and my passengers. I did the whole utility trailer+SUV thing for years and its just a pain.

at the same time, i'm not hauling a mini-ex so i dont need a full size 5th wheel. It still has 6,000 lb tow rating in a pinch (ironically i sold the utility trailer because i didnt need it anymore)

all that and its extremely easy to maneuver around town and the city. No issues parking whatsoever even with a DCLB. Back-in parking with a back-up camera is all you need.

basic maint, easy easy easy to work on + mods. Low cost of ownership. Fantastic value retention for an automobile. Reliable as hell. Love it.
