I’m 56. When I was in high school I feel in love with the Toyota pickup. The short bed 4x4 with a 4” lift and 33” tires was an amazing tough and capable little truck. Girls loved “how cute” they were so they were popular. Best part about them was they were indestructible and affordable.

I had an 1983 4 cylinder, 4 wd, standard shift, Toyota pick up. Loved that truck and how it looked, Black. The girls like it. It was LIGHT WEIGHT. Put a cap over the back and rigged a couple storage boxes in the back rear. Towed a pop up camper and went camping/vacation all over with two Dalmatians in the back. Even camped in Vegas. Went down the coast. Parallel parked (with the pop-up in tow) on a steep slope near down town San Francisco. Met a lot of fun people..... So many stories. Kept a journal along the trip. Fun to read it again so many years later....... Lot of fun

My girlfriend has 1996 Tacoma SR5 4x4 extra cab, V6 manual, 200 miles away from 100k, and it such an awesome vehicle. It’s a truck. It’s simple and reliable. I absolutely hate the direction of modern trucks with big screens; I never ever wish the Tacoma had a screen. It has switches, and they work. I don’t have to search around s screen to adjust the heat, AC, etc. - it’s just a quick simple switch adjustment. And, if the switch breaks, it doesn’t affect the function of other switches, and it’s easy to fix. If a screen goes out, it affects so many functions, and it’s ka-Ching to replace it. I know someone whose Prius screen went out, and it was something like $6k to fix. I digress. The simplicity of the older Tacomas is a breath of fresh air and makes me pine for the good ol’ days when things were simpler and easier to fix.

For the last 15 years, I've been driving a 1993 SR5 that has a lot of mileage now but it's still fairly clean and every power option works (including the a/c and power antenna!). It has every option available then except for the automatic transmission. In the last few years, I've been getting a lot of comments about it everywhere I go, people of all ages walk around it in parking lots and ask if it's for sale! I was used to having curious people with my older cars from the 1960s and 1970s but it's happening even more often with my newer daily driver now!

The evolution away from a Truck being for work is nearly complete.

Toyota use to offer the Hilux in the US until they called it the Tacoma which is a much weaker truck ( C channel frame vs Fully boxed).
@matthewcaughey8898
@matthewcaughey8898 Жыл бұрын
Actually there’s a very good reason for that. Rust proofing. See overseas the Hilux has far less chance to be exposed to road chemicals that cause rust. By going to the C-channel with boxed sections as needed the water is not trapped in the frame. Salty water in a frame can and will accelerate the corrosion. C-channel also leaves more drainage and more opportunities to get in there and blow it out. Commercial class 8 semi trucks use a C-channel. Besides the Tacomas don’t seem to have frame rotting issues now and are capable of doing whatever you need. A fully boxed frame vs a C-channel is a non starter. If you need a truck to haul a giant boat I think you need to setup up to a tundra. A Tacoma is just fine for most folks who buy trucks these days

The 2TR and 5 speed is a good combo. Isn’t super quick but you can hammer it all day and it’ll just go and go. There’s a reason that engine is still being made in overseas Toyota models like the new Land Cruiser. 5 speed is way preferable to the 4 speed auto too. I had a 2wd ‘13 with that combo and it towed and drove well (especially once I threw in a 3.73 rear end from a 4x4 model).

They were extremely tough. I even played the Fall Guy several times. The Tacoma's are no where near what those trucks were. Unfortunately I had to go to bigger trucks with Diesels for what I do now.

It was a weird combo - base trim crew cab with all the black plastic, manual everything and no cruise or even clock, but with ABS, auto trans, 4WD, and the 3.4 V6. He kept that thing spotless; he rust proofed the underside and spare before every winter, drove it softly, garage kept, and traded it in ten years later at 44k miles with a value of $9k for a Corolla to the same salesman who originally sold it at that dealership. Good memories. Also had a rustbucket of a '77 Hilux in blue with 3 speed stick, no headliner, and mismatched shell. Toyota trucks are great.

The main reason you have to rev out the engine is that it makes its HP around 3500 RPM thanks to the direct injection. It allowed it to make more power than outgoing engine, but at the expense of where the power band was located. Once you got used to the RPM band though, it didn't ever feel like it was revving too high around then. I've done a few trips through the Colorado mountains with mine now. Always a blast to get to CO.

My first truck was a white 1995 extended cab T100 and it was a great daily driver I felt like that was kinda like the step brother to the 1980’s Tacoma

I had a red 1989 just like that red one, but it was the 2 wheel drive version. Sold it cheap for $1,000 in 2012 to get to the 5K I needed to buy a nice looking Ford Ranger, and let's just say I should have kept the Toyota.

I had 4 Toyota 4WD pickups with the 22RE and 3VZE and for the last 14 years, I have been driving 1993 SR5 as a daily driver and it's the best vehicle I ever had. It's still stock and It's loaded with about every option available (except the automatic transmission) and every accessory works despite the high mileage.

The first gen 3vze from 89 to 92 were known for blown head gaskets and oil starvation for the crankshaft. Mostly, heat transfer was the cause. The second gen from 93 to 95, they fix oil starvation problem with a different design oil baffle pan. The blown head gasket were reduced in the pickups but they have more occurence than the T100. The T100 has minor issue with the 3VZE. It's wide engine bay distribute most of the air flow. Reduce blow head gaskets tremendously. The 3VZE in the pickups look small but it is really tidy with little air flow going by.

I just got a 1993 Toyota pickup with 306k miles from my Uncle for $500. It's a manual so I'm still learning to drive it but I love it. I've always wanted one of those pickups that had the huge "TOYOTA" decal on the tailgate.

I drove/rented a 2023 Tacoma 2wd with 1,600 miles on the odometer and went 2.5 hour on a road trip and 2.5 back on the highways in Mississippi. One of the worst driving highway/road vehicles in past memory. I rent a lot of vehicles for work, almost weekly. The next week I rented a Jeep Grand Chorokee L and it was light years better driving, got much better mpg and the motor/programming was way more impressive. After my experience I would never spend my money on a Tacoma unless I lived on a dirt road and commuted on a dirt/rocky road.

The first generation did have an extra cab. It literally said extra cab on the back window, but not big enough to carry a passenger back there. And there were power windows and door locks in the first generation. Very rare option.

I'd love to see them do a comparison between the new Tacoma and the Frontier. Frontier doesn't get the attention or respect it deserves. Frontier has always been as good as the Tacoma, and now it comes standard with a naturally aspirated 3.8L V6. Nissan has a history of fantastic V6 engines. I'd much rather have that over the 2024 Tacoma's 2.4L turbo 4. I've also never been a fan of the seriously uncomfortable and cheap quality Tacoma interiors.

For the 2024, does the seating position feel more like chair height seating than the 3rd gen? The 2022 Frontier seems more like that and I am hoping the 4th gen Tacoma also does.
