    Me, my mom, my dad, and my brother are the only ones allowed to drive my truck since they are the only ones that can drive manual good enough.

    for the most part only me. i let my girlfriend drive on a dirt road for about a block and i just couldn't handle it. she claims she knows how to drive a manual but i'm not convinced.

    plus if i think i'm going to drink we take her car lol.:D

    My wife hates driving it...she only drives it when she absolutely has to, which is usually when her car is getting serviced. She drives it probably 3 or 4 times per year.

    You need another option in there for us chicks (Boyfriend/Husband). My ex is the only person who's ever driven my truck. My brother is the only other person I would consider letting drive my truck cuz he had a Tacoma too and can handle it. Everyone else is scared. :p

    Don't know how many times I offered to let my wife drive the truck. She keeps saying no. Even left it with her for 10 days when I went to Texas. Truck just sat there the whole time. I think it has something to do with the last time she drove my F150. She backed it into a brick column at the edge of our driveway.
    Only scratch I ever got on the truck.
    She's just chicken...

    im not too sticky about letting people drive mine. as long as i trust them and they know how to drive a stick and have a decent job so they can fix anything if they break it. thus far; only my sister, my best friend and myself have driven her. and i'm the only one that has done any damage. lol (i think they are called hill billy pin stripes! haha too many scratches from those tight trails!)

    I drive it 99% of the time, but the wifey sometimes has to for various reasons. She prefers her own car, though, so she rarely drives the Tacoma.

    Well, in a month the wife has backed it out of the driveway once. She said that she isn't ready to drive it yet. She loves the Escape so I get the TACO to myself
