    I've wanted to create this video since I started my channel, but I felt I didn't have the resources or quality equipment to complete it then. Finally, I feel like I can deliver the video I've always wanted to do, and after 3 weeks of editing, it's finally done!

    I got a 2.7 liter 2021. My opinion is its the best option since it has all the facelift features as well as a bullet proof engine thats been used since 05. No gear hunting. Its black, 4 door, and my daily. It was my dads when he bought it brand new in December 2020 and he passed away 1 year later. I think about him every time I start it up and I know he is in Gods house, a much better place than earth. Happy Holy Week my friend!

    My father purchased the original Toyota pickup truck back in 1976 at Bob Jones Toyota in Anaheim California when I was growing up, I still remember that pickup very well, This was long before they called them Tacoma

    Awesome video and that you are a Christian. Keep the videos coming. I own a 2007 Toyota Tundra Crew Max with the 5.7 V8. I also owned a 2003 Toyota Tacoma with the Off Road package with the 3.4 V6. I had to sell this truck to get the Tundra because I have a 32 ft travel trailer. I really miss my Tacoma.

    I got a 2004 Tacoma and I love it, yes it’s old but to me it’s the best looking of the gens. I like the strong metal bumpers compared to the fragile plastic newer gens. My only downside it’s not a 4WD but since I moved to Vegas from Hawaii I won’t be doing any serious off roading anymore anyway so it doesn’t really matter other than that I love my truck. 🛻 🙌

    In my opinion the 2nd gen Tacoma is the perfect middle-ground between the old-school classic trucks of the 90s while still giving some creature comforts like a backup camera & screen. I have a 2015 and love that it still drives like a solid body-on-frame vehicle. While the 3rd generation Tacomas are great, don’t get me wrong, I prefer the more simpler mechanical components and smaller footprints of the 1st/2nd gens. Regardless, they are good vehicles.

    • @77ford20
      @77ford20 Рік тому +1

      Yeah, that’s fair. My truck was pre-owned, was barely even driven before I got it. I’ve looked around the frame and it seems fine. But it is a good idea to keep up with rust-protection. Thankfully the 2015 was at the tail-end of the 2nd gen so by then Toyota was making sure that they were at least better protected then the earlier 2nd gens. If I had like a 2005-2009 I would be a little more concerned.

    In 78 my grandpa bought a Hilux pickup and a Corolla. Both were White with Tan vinyl flooring and seats.
    In 80, my dad bought a Hilux 4WD Long Bed.
    In 84 I bought an extra cab 4WD (that one had a bad transmission but was covered under warranty.
    I also had an 88 2WD and after well over 300K miles it was time to replace it. So I bought a Ford Ranger.
    I had a total of 4 Ranger’s over a 30 year period.
    Last month (February 29th: Leap Year) I bought a slightly used (6K mile) 23 TRD Off Road, Premium pkg and a 6’ bed.
    I only drive 5-6K miles per year so at my age, my Tacoma will be the Last pickup I’ll ever need to own.

      @@AlphaShark It’s White, but after I have the TRD Red Leather with black trim and stitching seats installed by Katzkin, then I’m having the lower exterior body panels repainted with Barcelona Red metallic.
      I have some of the knobs and trim pieces overlayed with TRD Red.
      I think my 23 TRD will look great when I’m done with it.
      The first week that I bought it I installed a K&N cold air intake and a FlowMaster Flow FX dual exhaust.
      Next year I’ll have the Overland Tailor Tune installed.
      Lastly I’m thinking about Centerline wheels
      I had a FlowMaster single exhaust system installed on my last pickup.
      The Flow FX dual exhaust has a deep throaty sound and sounds nicely on both the 3.5L V6 and the 2.7L 4cyl.
      I had a Borla dual exhaust on my 2010 Tundra, but the Flowmaster sounds better on the V6. That’s my opinion anyway.

    Yes, the 2023 still has the ever searching for a gear transmission. Two people at myToyota dealership, a service writer and salesman, told me to get an OTT tune on it to fix it. I don't think you should have to spend $450 to get a new truck to drive like a vehicle should.
