Your First Toyota Truck and your current Truck

My first Toyota was a nissan.

 

My first was a 2001 Toyota Tundra, AC, V8, TRD OR, 2wd. 1 owner before me. Loved the truck but needed more of a back seat for my two growing sons. Bought for $3500 and sold $7500



Current truck is a 2020 Toyota Tacoma, TRD OR, 6spd manual. Bought it the day the dealers opened up after Covid for 34k. Love it so far

 

My latest as of last night! Picked it up with my 9 year old son who had a blast spending time with dad getting our new truck.



My first was a 1989 2wd just like this one. Had no air, no radio, etc., but I loved it!

 

No A/C... no Radio... power windows ( manual arm-power 'eh )...
Turn the key and it cranked up...
Damn thing ran forever right ?... probably put 100,000 miles on the original tires (HA!)

 

First one, ‘86 2x I got at 16, was my first “car”

Second came later in ‘14, another 2x

Third came in ‘17, finally a 4x

 

My first Tacoma was a 2004, 2nd owner with about 89k on the engine.
Loved that little truck
Sold it (much regrets) and bought a 2020 SR5 4 Cyl (no regrets)

 

The first vehicle I ever bought at 15 years old was a 1986 Xtra Cab 4x4 Toyota pickup. I knew what I wanted and I worked for a over year at a small amusement park to save up. About a month before I turned 16 I found one and I bought it with a stack of cash. My parents warned me not to drive it before I got my license, but I always made sure to park it in the exact same spot, haha. My mom says she always knew. I had that truck for a few years and many Toyotas since... ‘91 4Runner, ‘93 T100, ‘95 4Runner, ‘97 4Runner (which still own), ‘98 Tacoma (regular cab, 5 spd, 2.7, 4x4... I will always miss that little truck, but sold it because we had kids and a 2 seater wasn’t making sense anymore), ‘06 Tundra, 2016 4Runner, 2017 4Runner Limited (still own). And then I bought my 2021 TRD OR 4x4 a year ago November. As much shit as 3rd gens get around here, fuck y’all spoiled brats (kidding), this is the best damn one of the whole bunch.

 

1992 Toyota no name pickup, 4 banger, 5 speed, full instrument gauges, no idiot lights, sliding power rear window & locking fuel door. This was in the day when you could choose ala carte exactly how you wanted to accessorize your truck. Always regretted selling that truck.

 

2018 trd off road first Toyota and last Toyota

 

I still have my original owner 01 TRD OR and a 2018 TRD Pro and TRD OR. My favorite, by far, is my 2001. I'd sell the 2018's before my 2001.

 

1st - '94 LC (pic from camping shenanigans, friend brought me exhaust section to replace the battered one)
Current '21 TRD OR SB

 

My old 02, miss that truck, then came the 15, it met a premature end, and the 18.

 

1st Toyota 2nd Toyota Current Toyota

 

One of my favorite threads! Keep em' coming!

 

1st - 1995.5 Tacoma 4cyl 5-speed 4WD
Started like this...


Ended, like this... a day later I rolled this over


2nd - 1993 FZJ80 Land Cruiser Triple Locked (still have this)






3rd - 1996 Tacoma 4cyl 5-Speed 4WD




4th - 1996 Tacoma 6cyl 5-Speed 4WD (still have this too)




That one is currently cut into pieces for some suspension fabrication, frenched hangers and such.

 

First Toyota truck was an '09 TRD Offroad. Loved the truck, but the frame was getting pretty bad, especially with the "coating" they put on it. Plus it was just too small inside for me.



Traded up to a 2021 TRD Offroad double cab...





I seem to not deviate too much, same truck, same bug guard, just newer and a double cab

 

About 26 years separates these two trucks...

And I don't know what the deal is with my new Tacoma (trust me, I've had a lot of vehicles during those 26 years) -- nothing makes me smile or beam with pride like I do every time I hop in my Tacoma.

 

My current truck is my first truck. I will bookmark this and return in like 30 years

 

I had one just like this think it was a 92 and now I have a 2023 Tacoma TRD Sport.

 

First Toyota is my current truck. Loving it!
