Ugh...do want.

You and I think alike sir.

 

[LSCYCLING]

I want a truck.

 

[Jacques]

Great trucks - love my T-coma

On the BBC show Top Gear they tried to kill a Toyota truck and couldn't...if you can find the episode its good stuff, they still have that truck in their studio

 

[Whatever Dude]

My new one (from 2007) parked behind my old one. Old one was sold with 260K miles and it never failed me once. There is a reason the terrorists love to use them.

I always loved taco's, one of the best looking trucks out there IMO.

I even got the optional 50-cal mounting kit in the bed of the truck!

I was soo mad when I found out my little brother traded his in for a new cobalt, all because his clutch went out and he didn't want to replace it. I think it was an '88 and he got something like $750 for it. I swore at him a few times for not telling me about it, i would've loved to buy that from him instead of having that dealership get such a nice truck for so little. Anyways, congrats! I'm on MY first yota and I'm loving it so far...had it about a year now. I did drive the ol' 88 a lot though when I was living at home a LONG time ago.

Frontiers eat Taco's for breakfast. :evil6:

 

[raab02]

I too am a Nissan-haver:

I love it oh-so-dearly, but it's getting a bit tired with ATL roads constantly beating it. When I replace it, it will be with a Tacoma.

 

[dubtecv2]

Anything Japanese will suit me just fine.

 

[VTWINPOWER]

Nice.
That's what I'm looking for right now.I found a few w/100 000 miles which doesn't bother me at all.They are great trucks.

Tacoma owner here too My old 88 22RE engine had 278K miles(at 200K it received a new chain and head gasket) The 4.0 all aluminum V6 has monster torque, so it will beat the Frontier from 0-60 and 1/4 mile:armsrace: The thing I like about it is how everything in engine bay has easy access and it is timing chain driven.

Congrats on your Toy

How are the brakes? imo, that's Toyota's weakest spot. I'v owned a newer tacoma and tundra and just thought the brakes were terrible. (easy fix tho)

But they are indeed great trucks beyond that

 

[jeff721]

still got my '94 with 195,000 on it. It's a little rough around the edges, but still runs like a champ.

I have a friend that had a Tacoma. He bought it about 5yrs ago for around $9k with 100k miles on it. He got the letter from Toyota last fall about the recall for the rotting frames and his was one of the ones affected that they bought back.
The best part is what they paid when buying them back- they gave him 1.5 times the KBB value of the truck, which turned out to be around $13.5k. Not a bad deal for driving a truck for 5yrs really. Especially since he paid cash the first time around, it turned out his truck was an investment rather than a liability.

<----- Nissan Truck haver, but I like the toyotas as well.

 

[Whatever Dude]

Nice. For my 96, they were replacing all head gaskets because there was a potential issue with some of them (mine had like 200K miles on it by then with no head gasket problems). So i got a free head gasket. I had them do the timing belt while they were in there (at a reduced price). So besides that, i replaced the starter once and that was all I ever did to it in the 260K miles it had.
