    I always find it interesting to see how Tacomas are used by businesses and institutions and the lettering and graphics they put on them; let's see your pictures!

    Interesting topic. Is that a 4x4 or PreRunner?

    I'm a bit surprised that Toyota doesn't seem to offer single-cab 2wd Tacomas any more... those were the staple of work trucks around here. Landscaping services typically use full-sized trucks, but lots of others used smaller trucks where they didn't need such load capacity (pool-service, pest control, mobile windshield repair and the like)

    Or maybe they do build them but don't have them on their website?

    I'm 99% sure the Vancouver Port Authority would only buy a 4x4 Tacoma as their security vehicle. Toyota discontinued the regular-cab Tacoma with the advent of the 3rd generation in 2016 due to poor sales; the 2015 Tacoma was the last mid-size truck available with a regular cab in the North-American market. Also they stopped making 2wd Tacomas with a manual transmission.

    Most of the work trucks I see here are either 3/4 or 1 ton trucks, and it's rare to see other brands than the US Big Three so I thought it'd be fun to see Tacomas in their work attire.

    I like to not attract attention so I don`t put on signs.

    Typical day for my Tacoma

    Looks like it's working hard, nice! I can't tell if that's a generator or a welding machine, what do you do?
