Nothing but land cruisers. I needed to take a step back and get a vehicle that can do most of the same stuff but isn't a concerning obsession. The Tacoma was the perfect answer.

2023 TRDORP. Never really liked it. Sold a 21 Tundra for it - big mistake.

'24 Crosstrek Wilderness

I really liked it, fun, capable with all the modes and over 9" of ground clearance, but just too small and not enough ... bed space

2015 Toyota Camry, great daily gas saver and countless road-trips. Just needed something with more clearance and 4x4

2020 GLE was my wife’s that she handed down after I totaled her previous hand me down. Finally got myself a car I wanted to drive since having kids.

 

[WanderlustTraveler]

Well, I was mostly a Jeep person. First machine was actually a 91’ Chevy S10, and then an 03’ Jeep Liberty with a stick shift. I loved that Jeep and drove it about 13 years relatively problem free, till I got 2021 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk. That one drove great but was otherwise problematic. Poor build quality and the power transfer unit grenaded in rush hour on I-95, which was really fun.

Oh, and I’ve also a 92’ International/Bluebird

2006 2500 Duramax, followed by 2012 Duramax, traded for a 2023 Taco Limited, and currently a 2025 Taco Limited. The Duramax trucks were daily drivers, and plow trucks winters. Traded the 2012 after a hip replacement so I couldn't plow anymore. It was too risky slipping on the ice and snow while plowing.

 

[Will721]

Why you gettin out while plowing? To push? Duramax really that rough huh?

 

[djevans]

Just for fun, what were you driving before making the switch to the new Tacoma?

Feel free to comment some pics!

2004 Honda Element LX with 250000+ miles. My wife felt sorry for me and took me to buy the Tacoma Limited ... I'm satisfied with her idea, but the Honda was very reliable too... The Tacoma though has MUCH more "street cred."

 

[TacoFreak]

No, not even close. The 4th gen Taco is much smaller in every dimension than a 2nd gen Tundra, including ride height. What bothers me most on the Taco is that lower ride height, cramped back seat, and it just doesn’t feel like driving a truck.

I moved from a 2nd gen Tundra into my Taco, and the size of my Pro is not even close. I have driven every size truck out there and although I miss the bullet proof reliability and interior room of my Tundra, I prefer to drive the Taco.

Here are some pics of my Tundra, which was an awesome truck. The picture in snow was when it was brand new, and the front shot was 12 years later and still looking like new!
