What vehicle did you upgrade from?

This was my 2006 that I traded towards my 16. I moved about 80 miles away but was still loyal to the dealer I got this from. I did the trade with them, and my old truck followed me and is now owned by someone in the next town over. I flagged them down one day and told them what all was done to it. They had no idea how to work the on board air or the locker I put in it.


I graduated to an RTT about a year after getting my 16. No more making shelters. The only thing I kept from the 06 was the winch, but now in a hidden mount. This picture was taken in the Maine north woods.

Past cars include
2003 Saturn Ion
1990 Mustang LX 5.0 hatch
1986 Mercedes Benz 300SD
1993 Mazda MX6 4cyl
1968 Firebird that I did a frame off on and sold for 1/3 what I had in it.

This taco is going to be my last truck for a very long time. The wife and I are hoping to add a 996 Carrera S in the next 5 years or so.

I've had a '96 Tacoma for 24 years, but did purchase a 2018 TRD Sport about 18 months ago, but not sure it would be considered it an upgrade, since I still have the '96.

 

'09 Honda CRV. Prior to that it was a Honda Ridgeline! Yes, I said Ridgeline....

 

2011 BMW 335is.



My wife drives it now.

 

A Silver 2007 Toyota Camry LE --> a Silver 2018 Toyota Tacoma

 

02 Cummins

2011 Cummins




Sold both and inherited my 09 from my grandpa that passed

 

Volkswagen Golf R. I love my Tacoma but I miss that car everyday. Before that a Jeep GC SRT...thing was a hoot. Bought the Tacoma mainly to drive for a few years before I give it to my son. Then I’ll get something fast again.

Had a slew of 3rd cars though. Currently have a 93 MR2 turbo and a 93 Mustang. I like to cone race.

 

2001 Tundra Limited that I bought new, proudly owned for 19 years. It's about 10 years in when this photo was taken. Never was able to garage this vehicle!

 

Funny how much the 3rd gen dwarfs the 1st gen.

I used to putter around in an old Ranger. Needless to say, the Taco is a big upgrade from that.

 

PLEASE for the love of Pete, tell you still have the BAJA!!!!! ....They are getting more and more iconic, and collector cars on the daily..

 

I downgraded from another TrD pro 4 runner I had.
But I needed a truck for some things..so I sold the 2017 4 runner for a few grand more than I paid for it.

still have the blue 4 runner though

 

I went from a 2013 Subaru WRx STi, to a 2017 Chevy Colorado Z71 and now to my Forever Truck, a 2019 Tacoma TRD Sport.

2007 Civic LX - severe upgrade - but that said that car treated me so well, had it for 8 years, 200,000 pretty much problem free miles.

 

Downgraded from a 98 Wrangler. Would have bought a new Wrangler in '18, but Jeep decided to screw up the steering. Didn't chance it, since I'd had Toyotas before and they were reliable.

 

Well I won't list all my cars I have own but I came from my 08 GMC Sierra Denali that I traded in for my 3rd gen taco
