Nice. Not for me but nice all the same. I've been toying with the thought of downsizing to one, but it'd probably be the 2WD non-Pre-runner if I did.
 
Looks great except for the ugly short lightbar.. around here 50% of people who have them think its cool to drive around with it on 100% of the time.
 
I think that first one is an 05 or so and looks great. Esp for the age. The previous gen which ran to 04 still looks nice also, 15 years later.

Ahh but remember the big stacks of frames out behind every Toyota dealer. Just like the 💩98- 06 GM 1500 series. Both could fold in half with 10 years common use in the Rustbelt. At least Toyota gave you a new frame, well some of the time, sort of if you were the original owner 🤨sort of. If you missed the initial notification you had to pay big 💸for all the incidentals they lop off to replace it. GM is very straight forward and simple........🖕ðŸ¼.
Son in law had the Taco, I have the GMC. WIith the GM it's simple to make your own from the tank back, the rest is normal steel. It's a bit time consuming but in the end FAR BETTER and all it takes is a welder, plumb bob , tape measure and grinders. Not rocket science by a long shot. Taco would be easier yet just cutting replacing and adding fish plates. You gotta check any of these 21 st century trucks over carefully if they've live up North. None of them are closed to what they used to be in the half ton lineup.

Guess you haven't ridden in a new Colorado or seen any of the later reviews, hard to top performance and beat the value in their ZR2 package, oh and Diesel avail also for those that need it...

Are they still deploying the airbags on mild trails? Colorado faulty airbag deployment
