      ...You mean AFTER they were sued? lol. FYI, they didn't fix the frames on the new trucks. So up to 2017's are in on the recall. 2018+ had a special wax used when parts of the frame are pressed together. That's it.
      That said, I have a Tacoma and I've sprayed everything that will rust with cosmoline. Should be good to go.

      @@BB-nn9en Exactly. A lot of people are complaining about the big three trucks rusting out too, however, I have always said that proper rust proofing is up to the customer. It's simply too expensive and time consuming for the manufacturer to give a prick about that, so when you buy new, cosmolene, undercoat and spray the living hell out of the metal underneath, remove the plastic crevice plugs and spay wax inside the frames, etc. That will help more than anything.

    They (Toyota) bought my 1998 Taco due to frame rust, gave me KBB excellent condition price... it was far from excellent condition, 338,000 miles, every body panel was bent, interior well used, and the clutch was just about gone.

    I just sold my 1999 Tacoma a few weeks ago and already miss him. I put every one of the 294,000 miles and still had the original clutch. Ball joints were always an issue. Other than basic maintenance, that thing served me well.
    I sold it to a 15 year old kid. It's going to be a father and son project. He was super stoked and so was I. It's going to a good home. The only stipulation in the sale was I get the first offer to buy it back if he ever sells it.
    Almost forgot, that kid told me about this channel too. I've been sick for the last two days binge watching. 👍

    I drove a 1985 Toyota pickup for about 25 years, and it was certainly the most reliable vehicle I ever had (except for the legendary rust problem). I really needed a bigger truck, so I traded it in for a used RAM work truck. But in 2017 I couldn't stand it anymore, and bought a new Tacoma as my daily driver.

    Coolest Tacoma story I’ve heard was about a green beret who literally used it as mobile cover when insurgents ambushed an outpost. He basically drifted it right up to the terrorists faces to help the defense. After the fight, it was beat to shit and had an RPG shell stuck in a quarter panel. The dude took a picture of it and sent it to Toyota with a letter of thanks for such a badass truck.

    One little known thing about the Tacomas is that at the beginning of Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan 2002, the U.S. Special Operation Forces purchase a lot of these trucks from U.S. dealers, modify them and them ship them to the Area of Operations (AO).
    There were many reasons for that.
    1. The Humvees 6.5L diesel engine is very noisy and is inefficient, compare to a gasoline one.
    2. Both Northern Alliance and the Taliban forces used Toyota Hilux trucks and they were somehow similar to the Tacomas (at least in shape) and they are more under the radar than a Humvee or any other U.S. Military Vehicle. Perfect for cover U.S. Special Operations in the area.
    3. In case such vehicle was destroyed in combat operations or forced to abandon it was easy to replace.

      @Gabe Well, an American truck is very rare outside North America specially in Afghanistan.
      Remember that US SOF missions need to draw as little attention as possible and the Tacomas were perfect for that role. Using American truck would ruin their missions.

      Then at 9:35 you show the 2nd gen and claim its the 3rd gen. You only show the 3rd gen tacoma at 10:14
      I notice you guys did this with the everything you need to know about 4runners and pickups as well, c'mon guys! Fantastic videos but you're confusing the audience you want to educate!

    I had a 1977 Toyota Pickup 5spd when I was a kid & that thing was a fucking monster. I literally drove it over everything. I cracked one of the brake calipers and from time to time the fluid would drain out & I would just slam it into something to stop if I couldn't downshift stop. It ran until I got rid of it, it was amazing. If youtube (or the internet) had existed then, I could have made a successful channel of videos of me driving that little road warrior over signs, fences, logs, through ditches, ramming concrete light poles or brick walls as brake substitutes.
    Now I have a 1995 4runner...

      I was like "Isn't high lux?" And started questioning all my existence.. But now that I saw your comment I feel better.

      Nope I checked how Jeremy Clarkson pronounce it.. And he said "High Lux" and he's English.. No better reference than that to me.

    Dude that intro gave me PTSD. I literally, personally know those Taco owners and your impression wasn’t an exaggeration. Well done.

      And I'm pretty sure the frame rust was on the first gen tacos. The second gens had the recall for the leaf springs rusting out.
