As someone who has spent the last ten years driving ambulances..... 150 k miles is a pretty beat rig...... Ambulances are run hard plain and simple. Lots of them dont idle as much as they used to, and it is still a freighted truck thats being driven like, well, an ambulance. Count on...

I I know it has been around for a while. For me it is more of a driving style thing then I think it is going to break thing. I am a fan of less fancy = less to break but then again I have crank windows a five speed rubber everything and manual locks. Heck I dont even have intermit wipers on my...

No worries on the review. I often found that I was looking for more details over the years that I have had my truck, and more so before I bought it when I was trying to find out what I wanted to get. Most folk either sing the praises of the rig, or they pick on everything little thing that is...

no kidding.... When Toyota says they are going to stop making the 2.7 five speed combo, I will go out and buy a brand new one. I figure between that and my current truck I should be covered for the next 25-30 years... They just go and go and go. Oh, and still simple enough to do stuff like...

The 2.7 I 4 toyota motor is the most underrated motor out there in toyota land. in short, it is awesome. Mated to a 5 speed manual it will accelerate almost as fast as the 4.0. Mine is a 2012 reg cab 5 speed 2.7 4x4 that just rolled 100k miles. Those little motors will do everything you ask...

The rest of the state knows how to drive in the snow hahahah but really Ada Highway district just does not have enough plows. This was the worst winter to hit boise in decades. They don't even drop the blades on the plows in mccall unless there is 4 inches.... They scrape the snot out of the...

My wife hates the bench seat on the regular cab. At this point the upright semi cramped driving seating arrangement has grown on me. My biggest reason for the access cab would be for the dog. At 70 pounds he can ride shot gun, but would rather be in the bed. Thats fine, unless it is negative...

Americans hahaaha I dont need big. I need something that works. I wager this motor is still simple enough to do a bit of work on when the time comes. I can even see the spark plug wires. My driving work needs have changed a bit in the last six months. I am not on the road 2-30 days at a time...

The wipers are crap. I am looking into getting the new stalk and fixing the problem. Been saying I am going to do it for year. Have a service appt with toyota for the hundred K service this weekend. May need to ask them how much they would charge me for the part. It is supposed to be plug and...

The 2.7 compared to the 3.4 is pretty fair and valid. In terms of acceleration its a wash. In terms of towing, I would argue again a wash. The 2.7 is really good at towing right up to the limit, but anything over that and its not a motor problem, its a suspension and brake problem. Sure could...

Yep..... The PLB is simple, old school and it works. Two buttons. Test, and send the cavalry. None of this text or blog or track nonsense. I trust the PLB and carry it over the spot for this very reason. If I hit the very button that counts when I need it, I know it is going to work as long as...

Bump for a good looking truck. GLWS Random question and feel free to PM me but I would love to here your thoughts on the ATW. Been running studded snows the last few winters and the ATs I have are pretty beat. Looking for the next thing. Thanks, and sorry for the semi Hijack. If I had...

D&B is a dangerous place.... easy to spend some coin in then. I used to hit it up once a month and fill the back of the truck with about 500 LBS of chicken food and I would normally big up another hundred pounds of feed a few bales of alpha and some salt licks for a neighbor. I figure with me...

Cant beat the 4 banger. Unless you are looking for big towing power and if thats the case The tacoma is not the right truck. I would also argue that if you pull even 5 or 6 k on a regular bases you should be looking at another truck and not the 4.0 or the new v6 atkins. as for the pedal. Yep...

I keep telling my self that I am going to do this soon. All of a sudden its been about 4 years since I have been saying it. The big problem is just finding the time ! I am not sure where the last few years have gone. I must be getting old. Of course I always forget about it till I blow past a...

It never stops blowing my mind where I see people park their 1992 honda civics.... In general, I think a lot of the goodies we get into for overlanding are pretty overrated and un needed. Now, that does not mean I wouldn't really enjoy a truck fridge.... But, thats a lot of money I could be...

Been getting flashed since day one on the truck off the lot. But, good idea. Had not even thought about the adjustment on the lights them selves.

Hi all, Been lurking around on the forum for years now. I have found Expo to be a great resource to me in that time so I thought I would toss up a post and share some info. Let me introduce you to Bruce the Truck Bruce is a 2012 Toyota Tacoma, Regular Cab, 2.7 I4, 5 Speed, 4x4 Truck...

Tundra looks awesome. Not over done. The ARB looks good on the tundras. On some of the Tacos it just comes off as too big. Not so on this truck. Strong work. The Plasti Dip on the hood is also a nice touch. Make the truck stand out. How many miles you have on the rig now ? Perhaps one of these...

Good looking older rig. Welcome to ExPo
