New DD

[TheCPE]

I've been needing a "work" truck so I could stop running the miles up on my 2012 5.0.

So I found this 2001 Tacoma Prerunner SR5 with 160k miles. Now I've got something to drive around that I wont be concerned too much with scratches, dings etc or putting lots of miles on it.

I've only had F-150s for trucks prior to this so hopefully all I've heard about tacoma's being good little trucks is true!

Anyway nothing special but here are a couple pics.

I like those trucks. I have an old D21 nissan pickup. I like to consider myself a ford guy but the import smaller pickups have won me over.

I would rock those 4 door Tacos. Looks good. It's predecessor proved to be unkillable in Top Gear.

I hate all you people with clean garages. lol

Not bad at all. Great for a reliable DD. can't tell from the pics, is it a Prerunner or 4wd?

160K, it's just getting broken in

How is that a 'Prerunner'?

Sent from my office in the Bureau

How is that a 'Prerunner'?

Prerunner Tacomas have the same chassis and suspension as the 4WD variant but without the transfer case/diff/cv axles up front. A regular 2WD Tacoma has a totally different suspension setup up front.

OP, I've had two of those trucks, and they are rock solid. You'll enjoy it.

 

[TheCPE]

Yeah, 2wd but the suspension of the 4wd makes it a prerunner.

I'm going to work on the headlights with some haze remover see how that works.

I try to keep my garage clean, but not visible in the pics is a corner where I stack all my yard equipment hehe.

I'll definitely enjoy putting less wear on my mustang!

Nice! Those Tacomas are great little trucks. I have a 04 Frontier crew cab as my DD. I wish they would bring the Hilux over!
