Man If I could just turn back time on my 89 pickup I'd be the happiest mofo on earth. I love that truck. It just needs a LOT of love. Got it from a dude for 1500 bucks in like 2019, put a water pump and drove it until last year. Radiator fan just blee up and killed the radiator, hoses, boxes, the motor needs a rebuild too.
Might just go 5vze swap. I love it to death.
1997 extended cab 5 speed standard with manual transfer case. I drive a 2019 now but wished I had just rebuilt the motor and continued driving the old one….
2002 . Msrp $11k. Don't need Nanny Tech package. Real men don't need crawl control. Maybe if your crawling the local mall parking lot and you trying to figure out if you need asphalt or cement. But here in Moab all I need is locker and low 4.
Just a new version of the one I have and in a different color. '99 Tacoma Reg Cab 2.7L "Deluxe" TRD package with 5spd 4WD. I have it in Sierra Beige, but I like the Imperial Jade, Horizon Blue, and Natural White better. It looks awesome in black too, but black gets too hot in the sun.
02 Xtra Cab TRD Off Road 4x4 v6 5 speed Impulse Red. Had this truck, but an auto. Still kicking myself for getting rid of it.
05 X-Runner Speedway Blue. Always loved the way these looked.
I drive an 08, 4L, V6, 4WD and honestly I absolutely love it. I’m biased because it’s my first truck and my first experience of over landing, 4 wheeling and camping. Wouldn’t change it for the world! Ps. No rust body rust - fully aware of the recall for that model😂
2004 Xtra cab 6cyl. Silver black trim. My dream truck for years. Couldn't tell you why. I was hunting for one for months but couldn't find one with low enough miles to justify what people wanted for them, settled for 07 access cab which is still pretty cool
2012 Taco TRD OR DC SB.... because I have one and love it dearly lol. Always said the only way I'll get rid of mine is if I find the same one with lower miles lol
97 Reg Cab V6 5spd 4WD
This is the answer right here.
Mines a crew cab, but I'll let her know she's still winning the game.
‘14 or ‘15. Those are two of the best taco years (least problems), also my preference is Gen 2.5. I like how they look
2.5 Gen is absolutely gorgeous!
The one I have right now with 60k miles - cherry red 04 taco 3.4v6 4x4 5spd.
I would also go for a double cab first Gen. I miss having a little Toyota.
The comments are basically confirming what we already know. 1st gen best gen.
If I could figure out the terrible ride quality on mine I'd keep it for ages.
They have a great ride. If you made the ride more "quality" it would no longer be as capable. It's like saying corvettes have a terrible ride.
14 is the goat for durability imo
14/15 are identical, no?
The one I have now (2022 Lime Pro) or 1985 SR5 with the solid front axle.

‘85 wasn’t a Tacoma.
Yeah man. I know that. Thanks for correcting me. Great add.
Np, lots of folks confuse that one.
Gotta be a 2015 TRD Pro. It's the Off-Road package with a 2 inch stock lift, plus some other things, in the best looking and most reliable year.

2002 base 4x4 regular cab well over $11k.
I think I’d buy a 2015 OR in black. On the fence about MT vs auto. I have a 2018 OR MGM auto.
80's Toyota pickup (I know not technically a Tacoma) 4 x 4, 22 RE with 5 MT
2023 TRD Pro 6MT in Solar Octane Most people are gonna answer with the one they got unless they’ve had multiple…

I bought a 23 trd, I guess I had the money I'd get a pro.
I'd go back to my 92 pickup, manual, 4 cylinder, 2wd, bench seat and 35mpg on the highway.

Third gen sr5. I would have had it paid off a year sooner -OR ‘18, purchased CPO in ‘20.
Bout to🤙

2002 extended cab MT off road in lunar mist. Loved that truck before I rolled it.
Love my 2008 Sport in Radiant Red. I put every single mile on this truck. It’s never let me down.
2023 PRO or similar they Beast ❤️🔥🌮
I’d buy my ‘04 extended cab TRD V6 5spd in Lunar Mist Metallic again in a heartbeat.
2023’ Nightshade Limited…. I just fucking love this truck and I don’t want any other lololololol
'24 sport 6'. The tech in everything else is extremely dated. Now that I have it, I could never go back.
'81 Trekker Edit: Just saw that the question said any Tacoma not any Toyota. :(
How dare you ! 2015 TRD pro 6spd inferno !!
I loved my 2009 Sport.
Highest trim level of the 2.5 gen. Maybe that'd be the Baja T/X
‘97 Regular cab PreRunner V6 w/ 4x4 in either lavender steel metallic or evergreen pearl
> ‘97 Regular cab PreRunner V6 w/ 4x4 The prerunner is a 4x2 with the 4x4 height/suspension. The first year of the prerunner in the US was also 1998.
my mistake
24 Trailhunter because of all the room for activities
I thought they are small as heck. At least the back seat...
Get your mind out of the gutter dude
