I got this Tacoma not long after I retired. It was hard to find, I had
to "settle" for one with 150k, but it had all the stuff, 6 cylinder,
4wd, extended cab for the dog, manual transmission... I had to
get some $tuff fixed, a steering rack, inner and outer tie rods,
a new heater core (they had to take the dash board off for that),
a couple of sensors (made it run better and made the CEL go off)...
It's a "first generation" Tacoma, back when there was still such
a thing as a small truck... Tacomas are as big as F150s used to be
now.
There's a forum of nice people who love them, just like for Valkyries
...
Too bad it's not Radiant Red like that other picture I posted to this thread, instead
of the boring extremely common color.

do not run over the cat, done that once sitting on top of my front tire....
the newer tacomas are overpriced and dinky inside with a near useless small bed. For only a few grand more you can get a much larger and more capable tundra. 4 main reasons I picked the tundra over ford and dodge and chevy is reliability is much, much better, price is cheaper the way I equip my SR5 double cab, by far largest rear seat legroom/comfiest rear seats for adults 6' and under in the ext./double cab configuration, and resale/trade in is by far superior to the big 3 not depreciating nearly as much. When it came out in 2007 I traded in my chevy crewcab 2007 too short of bed at 5'8" with under 10K miles on it for a tundra double cab 6'6" bed and have never looked again once at the big 3.
