I don’t see the advantages of driving a Tacoma. Not much cheaper than a full size and not much better on gas. But you lose all the comfort and payload/towing of a full size. I’m only 5’8” and fill cramped in my dads Tacoma. Couldn’t imagine being a bigger guy driving one. I think it works for people like my dad who is retired and it’s just him in the truck 95% of the time. If you’ve got kids it don’t work well.

Tacoma is a good looking truck...
that's all I got.
Got one last year. So far so good. Hauling others, no, long drives, no. Back and forth to work and around town and woods, yes.
I love my Tacoma. I have owned 6 of them (3 right now). Sometimes I wish it was bigger so I could tow bigger stuff easier, but day to day, I wouldn't want anything else. Folks talk about them being small, but I'm a little different. I like small vehicles and don't need lots of creature comforts because I'm not a woman. Hell, I drive the smallest of them all...a 2014 Single Cab 4x4. It doesn't even have power windows or door locks. It's perfect and I plan to keep it till I die.
I do not like the looks of the 2016+ Tacoma, so I don't know if I will ever buy another one.
Crops are harvested, animals are killed.
We have 2 17’s and don’t have any problems with them. They pull my boat and camper just fine. The teenagers might grumble a little on long trips but they grumble about everything. Today’s Toyota trucks are much bigger than my old 89 and even bigger than the old f150’s of the 80’s and 90’s.
If you buy one just stay off tacomaworld.
I had KRT hook this one up with old man emu suspension, what a difference! Faster you hit obstacles the better it rode. I regret selling it.

Those guys have some badass rigs! I’d love to go to the upstate and ride those ORV parks with them one day!
I’m 6-3 and drive my Tacoma every day and it’s comfortable as hell. I get 20 mpg hauling all my surveying shit and my help who happens to be over 6’ himself. It does drop down to 18 mpg but I put the 12’ trailer behind it to haul the mule around. My help gets 14 mpg in his Tundra and 8 when he pulls his featherlite camper.
I would love to watch him try to go the places we have to go in his Tundra, never going to happen. I can turn around the Tacoma on a 2 track....Tundra needs 3 times the space.
185K miles and it still feels just as solid as the day it was bought.
And I don’t know about old man emu suspension, but Bilstein 5100’s are the same way, the faster you run o Er something the smoother it is.

Front seats in a Tacoma are fine, those jokers go back a long way. A family truck it is not.
