No kidding! And it goes back to before the Tacoma. I once owned a 1992 Toyota Extra cab "Deluxe" pick-up. Back in those days, before it was called a Tacoma, the Toyota extended cab pick-up was simply called a "Deluxe" but it was basically what became the Tacoma. It was hands-down the most bullet proof reliable vehicle I've ever owned and I drove it and worked it pretty hard for almost ten years until I finally sold it. So, recently, I was having lunch at a local restaurant and when I glanced out the window I realized that my old truck was parked right at the sidewalk outside the restaurant! I couldn't believe it! It was badly rusted and in pretty rough cosmetic shape but it still had the fiberglass cap and alloy wheels from when I owned it. Finally, as I was finishing up my lunch the current owner showed up so I ran outside and introduced myself. The guy told me that he loves the truck, it runs great and it has over 300,000 miles on it! Apparently, it's had five owners altogether and still has a lot of life left in it.
