    Toyota Tacoma. Who's got one (or at least an opinion on them)

    Nissan was great for decades, and then fell off hard over the last 10-20 years. Quality is still mostly there, but they fell behind in innovation. I know they are pushing hard to make a comeback. I used to be a Datsun/Nissan guy before flipping to Toyota (with a brief horrendous period with Jeep in between).

     

    Both great choices. You wont see any drop off from Honda to Toyota, and probably some improvements in certain areas.

    I never hear anything good about Jeep. And those ducks.....

    I used to sell Toyota’s at one of the biggest Toyota dealerships in the country. They are some of the best vehicles on the market. I also used to sell Honda’s.

     

    I would purchase either without any hesitation. If you take care of them (do the maintenance/upkeep) they will last forever. Or at least that used to be true. I haven’t sold cars in years now (since before the pandemic). But I remember seeing many Toyotas and Hondas with very high mileage come in for service. I remember one guy had over 350k on his old Honda and the thing still ran great.

     

    I don’t know how true this is but I heard there were at least a couple rough years (2021-2022) for most car manufacturers due to so many supply shortages during the pandemic, and having to use what parts they could get. I’d assume that’s corrected now. I’d still be a bit more leery about outright buying a 2021 or 2022 model though, unless you’ve already driven it for years and know it’s reliable.

    Do you recall any "look out for...." when it comes to Toyota?  Like Honda is always timing belts at about 100k. Both of my accords have needed work on the cam actuator. Makes a loud loose chain sound when starting. They also both burn oil.

    I’ll never forget when I dove a Camry and my mother drove an Accord. I think of them as being competing vehicles with both being reliable, but my Camry felt solid and durable while it felt like a tin can when I closed the door on my mother’s car.  This was years ago so maybe it’s changed, but it was a striking difference. 

    My daughter's accord has that feel to it. Solid car but it does feel thin.

    This should come with a DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME warning. Everything else does…..for a reason, I suppose. 

    Dang I wanted a Tboned Tacoma 

    Guys this is great. I've always been a Honda guy but Toyotas have been on my radar. Wife wants a Highlander at some point. Her parents are Toyota people. So anyways this all helps.

    There’s a reason that the Tacoma is the official vehicle of the Taliban.  Great vehicle that will last forever.  Even in the harshest of environments.

     

    I just bought a new vehicle last spring.  I shopped around for certified used Toyota trucks.  There wasn’t really much out there, and the trucks I found were WAY out of my price range.  Good luck!

    Yeah the price point sucks for sure. There's a 2013 almost spotless down the road from me. 150k for $14,9. Tempted

    Not a Tacoma, but I have loved my Toyotas (currently driving an Avalon) and my son swears by his 4Runner. If he got a new car today, he’d probably shop for another 4Runner. 

    4Runners look cool. Beefy

    Typically extremely reliable vehicles, have had some issues in the last couple of model years causing them to slip in the various rankings and reviews a bit.

     

    If you don't mind being made fun of the newer Ridgelines haven't had many issues. Biggest downside to them is no 4WD but most people don't actually need their 4WD. Their loaded up price point is a bit lower than the Tacoma.

    Ridgeline is another "truck" I've been looking at. I know lol they're not actually a truck haha

    Believe for 'practices' he was referring also to Bears joint practice with Dolphins last week which by many accounts Bears dominated

    Yep I know. He's counting practice "wins". Kinda silly. Kinda silly I'm writing about it too. Why do I care? Lol

    Did he just say the Bears won back to back PRACTICES?

    Talk about clickbait, and what the hell is a “Polymarket Football?”  Decked?  How about “stumbled, lost his balance, and brushed the glasslike figure of Burrow who immediately crumpled to the ground.”

     

    I was looking for a haymaker or something.
