I had a similiar experience in my 95 Toyota Pickup (non-tacoma) SR5 (now the limited trim) 4WD. The truck was the absolute BEST in reliablilty though the 3.0 slo V6 left little to be desired power & mod wise. However, it never failed (gaskets neither
) for close to 170K and it still on the road today
Second time around I went Tundra but it is by know means close to my trusted 95 Toy. Maybe the fact I had a J -series VIN (Japan-made) had something to do with it? Please do not take this as anti-domestic or american for I'm serving my country as I type this...BUT the little things in the Tundra make me beg the question "What were they thinking???" The seats are terrible. Please Please Toyota bring back the 7-way sport seat. There is WAY to much plastic, the interior is somewhat cheap (latches, seat belt mechanisms, door panel trim) & what the heck happened to the radio system?
Despite all that, I guess I would have to vote yes to recommend the vehicle. It is much better compared to others, I'm hoping the new design will bring back some of those old memories for me.
