Who actually uses their V6 Tacoma as the truck it's supposed to be?

it all depends right, if you walk up to the car and they say "F u, why did you pull me over!!?" its prob going to be a ticket

 

Yeah thats the way i want to be when i become a Highway Patrolman or whatever i become...i want to cut people SOME slack but be strict and authoritative when i need to be

 

I've owned trucks for the last 20 years, mostly F-150's and have never towed. I have towed a vintage travel trailer I bought and a trencher with it's own trailer so far in the last 3 months. I also just loaded up some new dirt bikes I have bought. This truck is a work truck during the week and does double duty on weekends...no complaints with towing or hauling at all.

 

sweet samurai. is that your rig? got any pics of the sami???the sami is my 2nd favorite truck after my taco.

 

I don't do offroad.
Heck,my truck rarely sees a dirt road.
I'm a home owner so the truck does work for me when hitting Home Depot,garden centers,appliance stores etc.
I do hate when relatives,friends,neighbors ask to use the truck.I just politely say no.
The bad thing about owning a pickup.

 

Gravel..NFW!
I don't lend the truck out but will go with someone to pick up or deliver something.
Trouble is when I do that,now I have to do the labor thing.
This isn't my first pick up.Been doing this for years but most know how anal I am with my vehicles and don't ask now...just hint..

 

I never tow anything with my Tacoma...









Ok, I lied...

I have put ~4,000 towing miles as of this post. Mostly the Jetta coming back from Colorado. I have also used it to haul myself and 4 team members and their bikes and gear for the San Antonio to Corpus Christi MS150 Bike to the Beach. I have hauled appliances, an FJ Cruiser (getting paint before the diesel engine was dropped in), a boat for my cousin, and a an RV just to test it out...

 

Eh, first gen Taco swaps are easy for Todd... He has a whole bunch of other stuff that is really cool going on (this FJ is only one of many).

Check out his site or drop him a line if you have any questions for him:

i tow the toys..


I've also pulled the toy hauler once which contained a jeep, and 2 quads. I had to pull it cause the tow truck was broken =/

I am interested to see how it sits with the rear AAL installed...

 

This photo doesn't do the truck justice......You have no idea how much stuff was in that trailer! (i.e. my entire apartment)


The best thing to carry with two wheels that isn't a dirtbike

 

i've got two boys and three times or more a week i'm taking them to practice and or their games. So i got the pop up tent, chairs, sports equipment, cooler full of beer. Thats why i got rid of my Honda pilot for my Taco!

 

I'm sorry... I am trying to read your post, but I keep getting distracted by your signature...

Daily commuter.

I tow an 18' Ranger Bass boat. No trailer brakes. I had an 03 that I towed the boat with. It would pull it, but hard to stop with the 03 Tacoma. The 05 does a much better job all around.
