why did you get your tacoma?

I bought a house on a dirt road. I needed the ability to haul stuff, needed 4wd for wintertime coming up, and my Mazda3 that I loved wasn't going to cut the mustard. Now I love my Tacoma even more than I did the Mazda.

 

That baby looks homemade....

 

camping and wheeling

 

lol, my bro actually has it now. I ended up painting the front end flat black and it looks way better now.

 

I bought mine for hunting. All I was gonna do is put mud tires on it and then this damn site sucked me in! lol

 

i guess ill say different things than off roading. i got my tacoma xrunner because, i wanted the feel of a fast sports car and i also wanted a truck. and the xrunner was perfect! and i also have the use of a truck i as well go hunting fishing i like using the bed of the truck, but if i want to off road ill just grab my pops prerunner !! lol

 

i bought my toyota tacoma because i understood the jeep thing! haha
but i bought mine because of all of the above. not to mention toyotas are reliable and practical. plus i love my second gen and think it looks fantastic. and i feel as if it is the best mid sized truck on the market. not to mention, tacomas hold their value very well

 

I got my first Tacoma ('95 RC) cuz my dad was always a big Toyota guy. I got my second ('97 AC) cuz some dick ran a red light and broadsided me in the first. I got my third ('04 AC) cuz I found out the hard way a Mustang isn't an everyday driver, especially in the northeast during winter. And I got my fourth ('06 DC) cuz baby seats don't fit in an access cab. I honestly don't ever see myself driving anything other than a Tacoma.

 

I got mine because it was a hell of a deal, mother-in-law wanted to get rid of it so I took over payments so only cost me $8500. She ordered it at the end of 06 all maint was done by dealer, garage kept, never taken off-road, waxed every other month, and washed every weekend.

 

8 mpg 2500HD was killin me

 

Just always wanted one. So I finally took the plunge

 

I was jealous of my dad when he bought a '01 1st gen, then I saw the 2nd gen and thought it was the best looking truck around. I couldn't imagine having a different vehicle now....especially cuz its so mod friendly!

 

Because Toyota stopped selling 1984 Toyota 4X4 trucks with solid axles. Like the one I had from 1984-1987.

 

should add..cause they're bitchin'..to the poll

 

how can you add stuff to it?

 

Work,Work and more work..........................

 

to new to know who all makes that list.

 

Other than just like haveing a truck around, I bought mine on impulse. Also to shlep kids and their friends around.

 

I bought mine, and recently I must add, because after researching trucks for many months it was apparent that the Tacomas ended up on top in nearly every category.
I go camping all the time so the 115 volt outlet is gonna come in handy. I hate hooking up my trailer all the time to only haul my quad around. So the bed is of adequate size. Its not some V8 petrol-pig and still has the power to lay down some rubber when I stick my foot in it. Its the most reliable mid-size truck you can get. And not that I intend to but in my opinion, to determine the real value of any car, look at the resale value...

....And that's why I was SOLD!!!

 

I've always wanted a toyota tacoma ever since I was 12 or so. I would always drool over the 1st gens and wish I had one. Of course, money was limited and I could only afford cheap cars but then one day I totaled my subaru outback and insurance gave me $5800 more than what I paid for it...turned around and bought a 2010 access cab trd offroad . I'm going to school right now but once I get my degree I want to buy all the offroad goodies and travel across the country.
