[ojsilva1975]

[P4ckerBacker52]

[nesboy654]

@P4ckerBacker52 they only made one gauge for the automatics and the stick shifts and it really isnt that hard to drive stick with a tac

[ipod4info]

great truck fun to drive

[Streetracingpunk72]

Did this gen Toyota Tacoma really not come with a tachometer? Am I missing something?

[luckycraftsammy]

@Streetracingpunk72 if you had the sr5 package it did

[Streetracingpunk72]

@luckycraftsammy Thanks. Looking to pick one up for my parents and was curious. Thanks for the response. Not having a tach isn't a huge deal, but it's just kind of funny to be how easy it'd have been to just put one in.

[Motorfordtoyota]

@Streetracingpunk72 The base one didnt. It wasnt un-common for a 4 banger base truck to have that in the market at the time. The option cluster like in all 4runners of the time had a tach.

Pearl Jam Even Flow

[Gglock45]

my uncle got a 1988 tacoma with 545,560 miles on it and it still drives like its brand new

[Motorfordtoyota]

@Gglock45 They werent called Tacomas back then, they were just Toyota pickup! My 88 4Runner (same thing) has 262102.8 miles, rund great!

[situationcentral]

That horn is for gays!!

[Motorfordtoyota]

Toyota trucks never stop working! Funny, 5,555 veiws! lol!

[TankManer]

How would you know when to shift?

[Motorfordtoyota]

@TankManer listen to the engine. Not that hard! I have a tach in my 88 v6 4runner, but hardly use it!

[MrRichierich1990]

@TankManer you can hear when it needs to go into the next gear. the automatics do the same thing automatically, you can feel and hear it.

[fratermus]

I appreciate the cab views.

[dave11686]

Great video as always Kyle! Missed it when you first posted it,

[CharlieDoan]

Is it 2.4L or 2.7L?

[Motorfordtoyota]

@CharlieDoan I believe its the 2.7. They stopped making the 22re in like 94 or so I think.

[01Tahoe10]

Eechh Toyotas make me SSICK

[CharlieDoan]

@01Tahoe10 buy American then

I rather push the Toyota than drive American truck!

AND I AM NOT A JAPANESE

[Motorfordtoyota]

FINALLY, A GOOD TRUCK!

[flyinhigh420yadig]

[Goldenrod636]

My uncle has one, except his is tan and has a leer in the back of it.

[1ChevyGuy375]

Nice little truck

[crystalscan2002]

not to shabby

[1bentley4ever]

A genuine Taliban Tank!

5 Stars!

[talldude123]

agreed!

[1bentley4ever]

All it needs is a big machine gun, some barbed wire on the grill, and a beaded seat cover.

[talldude123]

You need to take the rims off, and just have bare hubcaps on it, true taliban tank!

[1bentley4ever]

Sounds better.

[1bentley4ever]

I love the geo-board cross-lines on the instrument cluster of the old Toyotas. Verrrry late 1980-ealry 1990s. Very Mark III Supra and Celica from the era of pop-up headlamps and two-tone paint.

[pjtart]

Toyota trucks has been selling for a long time but Toyota doesn't seem to do too well in North America.

[teaweed1]

@pjtart is that y its so expensive for one of these...these late models with high mileage on them still runs about 6 g and up...Im sure toyota is doing well...

[OTHGirlsForever]

that officially tops the previous gen's honda cr-v for freakiest e-brake location ever hahahahaha

[Motorfordtoyota]

@OTHGirlsForever My 88 4runner has it in the same place. cool

[naterade21]

i like them rims

[TheGizmo4382]

My aunt's friend has a Tacoma. I believe it's a '99. It's a cute little truck. It has close to about 240,000 miles on it. I can say from being in that truck, the back is not comfortable at all. The seats are not even supportive.

[ezy300]

Do u know how much this car is going for?

[ElectroGhandi]

Why do you press the brake when you start the manual cars?

[joshblair100]

I guess the parking brake wasn't on. Also, it a manual, not an automatic.

[ElectroGhandi]

@joshblair100 The parking brake was on, and he does that in all of his videos with manual cars.

[mattbjrs]

@ElectroGhandi It could be that he just rests his foot there. I do that when I start my car, since it's kind of a habit to line up your feet with the pedals.

[zanjani13]

nice truck man! love these and some of these where recalled for the chassis rust out! its danerious

[xxTornadowarrior1xx]

does it have the stuck accelerator option? lol jk,

[Jon13bur]

@xxTornadowarrior1xx Yes, I believe that came standard.

[xxTornadowarrior1xx]

LOL. thanks for clarifying that. ha ha ha!

[randomrazr]

toyota..making trucks...lol

so is the pedal stuck on this too?

lol jk jk

im gona get a bunch of thumbs downs arent i XD

[chrisced007]

I wonder if the frame is bad. Because it might qualify for the frame recall

[rootbeerfan6]

Toyota trucks are awesome. The best little truck ever! They kick butt!!

[Motorfordtoyota]

@rootbeerfan6 They are the best! 262,101 miles on my 88 4runner v6!

[WoZIMoo]

Ahhhh now these were the peak times at Toyota... Cars were simple, built like tanks and more reliable than anything else on the market at the time.

[lsitnik]

Great video Kyle ! Simple, rough and reliable truck.

[TJC450]

Locking fuel door. Ive never seen that before.

[MrRichierich1990]

@TJC450 the foreign cars had those for years.

[cooperba1]
