2013 titan and 2000 frontier standard cab. Got tired of the frontier’s seating position, though it was a great truck. The titan was a good truck but gas mileage was horrendous and there is zero aftermarket for the thing. Felt like a lumbering beast. New suspension probably would have fixed it, but I didn’t want to put any more $ into it.
Had a pile of cars before those 2, but don’t want to try to remember them all.

I still have it and drive it, A 2019 4Runner SR5. It was my first vehicle and was fortunate enough to be able to keep it once I got my Tacoma. Bought it brand new in 2019 once I started working for Toyota and was able to use my employee discount to get a good deal on it. Many modifications have been added to it since as you can tell.

2016 GMC Canyon long bed, baby diesel. It was a great truck put a 100,000 miles on it in the 10 years I had it. But the diesel wasn’t a big seller so parts were getting hard to find and I just wanted to change. Been eyeing a Taco since I drove my friends 2006 Taco back in 2008. Then the mudbath color came out and found out the off-roads didn’t have the start stop feature and I found a good deal.

2019 Ford Ranger. I loved that truck. I’ve only ever owned Ford trucks (Rangers, F150, f250, and full size Bronco). They were all great trucks. Buddy bought a 4th gen taco and loves it. I drove it and was impressed enough to buy one myself. So far so good. I love my new truck but I also miss some things about my old ranger.

I drove a 2013 Kia Forte coupe before getting my truck. Was great on gas in comparison. Due to my 150 miles of driving every day, I hypermiled that car to 45mpg consistantly. The Tacoma obviously doesn't even compare, so I'm searching for options for fuel tanks, if they EVER hit the market.

2011 Nissan Frontier Pro-4X. So moving to a TH, it's a great update in terms of tech, comfort, and even gas mileage, crappy as it may be. Contrary to what others may say, the Frontier was very reliable, and in all the years i owned it, the only thing that went bad was the AC.

The taco is heads and tails above (as it should be, being much newer tech), but I kinda miss the Frontier's bed with the additional floor rails... and the plastic in the frontier interior was just beefier (I'm reminded of that every time I try to close the sunglasses holder on the taco)

Oh, and I miss the old school ice cold AC from the frontier and older cars. :)
