Why not a forum for these trucks?
Given as many of us who have owned or still own these wonderful trucks, I've wondered why this board doesn't have a section devoted to them. If it wasn't for this particular line of trucks, I don't think Toyota would have had a US truck line at all (even today). Also, in my opinion, it is a bit tough to find info on these trucks out in the internet world... here we are with an opportunity to spread our knowledge for them.... and we just don't seem to do it.
Honestly, if there is a Tacoma forum?? Why not a forum for these here?
By the way, I don't know if I'd call the 3vz a "turd".... having had the 22re for a total 15 years, I always wanted my "pre-Tacoma"s to have a 3vz. I didn't need it, but man I sure wanted it. The 22RE did me fine and continues to serve me extremely well. One dead battery and normal maintenance on two of them in 15 years... can the big three say that?? BTW, the 22RE does suffer from the need to do a timing chain at approximately 100-120K miles .... and not a simple belt replacement --- but the 22RE keeps going and going and going... both Toyota mechanics who have worked on mine said that with normal maintenance and the timing chain fix they don't doubt it can get to 250K....
