2006 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab
 

Its my new toy. Very very nice truck and its great.
Future mods include tinting, maybe some flowmasters or borlas when they become avaible. I cant find flowmasters anywhere. No need for a lift. I might get a front skid plate...not sure it its only 200 bucks.

Bought it brand new for somewhere around 29,000 - 30,000 USD with the ten year extended warranty. Got it a few months ago around Mayish.

Specs 2006 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab with the 6 foot long bed.

4.0-liter DOHC EFI V6 with VVT-i
236 hp @ 5200 rpm
266 lb.-ft. @ 4000 rpm

Unfortunatly its an Auto. (I do know how to drive a manual. Learned with my cousins car this summer :D)

Rear wheel drive. (Now I wish I would have gotten 4WD would make things alot more fun.)

18/22 MPG City/Highway

More Pictures coming as soon as I wash it again. Just took these right now.
Yeah I know its know super car or sports car but hey I will make my way up. :D BTW does anyone else on JW have a truck?

good looking truck, but i'm still wondering why they named a truck after a city in Washington :?

free trade? :roll:

Thanks. And thats a good question. I will do some research. Best part of the truck is that I didnt pay a penny for it. My dad did. :D He is driving it right now but I get it when school starts. I have driven it around here and there and what not. Very powerful for a V6 with only around 240 HP.

Well I've got my Pathfinder and Nthfinity has a Jeep Grand Cherokee that's all I can think of. They are nice pickups but I would stick to American for a pickup...

It's the torque that's nice.. it has around 300lb/ft or so I thought.. it is a pretty big V6.

Tacoma sounds like a Native American thing.. They also have the Sequoia which is based on the Tacoma.


Congrats on the truck, but you should have gotten the Tacoma X-Runner ;)

Ya I think my torque figures are wrong and it is around 300. When I open up the hood its freaking HUGE! We thought about the X-Runner but I figured this is more pratcital since it can easily fit 5 people and has a huge bed. I was suprised by the interior space for the rear passangers its like Civic or Corolla with a huge truck bed. Its our first truck.
BTW T-Bird I looked into other trucks as well such as the Titan and F150 double cab but I couldnt get it because of the V8. My dad like the Titan very very much but he didnt the MPG. :lol: Not like it matters to him but oh well. Oh also I was thinking about a Tonneu cover. My brother might order one for the truck.

You can always throw everyone in the back of the truck ;)

You do know that the X-Runner can out handle a 350z right?

You gotta be fucking kidding me man! Thats insane! I never would have thought of that. Out perform sure why not but out handle as well? DAMN!
Sorry excuse my excitement.

i love toyota's trucks better then any other ...
maybe because i had one :mrgreen: .....

the dash and the speedo looks cool 8) ..
congrats 8) 8) :D

Well, in the right hands it could ;)

It pulls 0.9g's in the corners and has a quick slalom..

If your worried about MPG you shouldn'tbe getting a truck period. I have a measly 3.5Liter DOHC VQ35 V6 in my truck yet I manage a decent 12-14 mpg on a good day yet my buddy with a 5.9 360ci V8 Durango manages roughly the same. simply because his truck works less than mine to get the same speed. the MPG on the sticker is bogus.

Yeah right 18/22 mpg, down hill maybe. But how much your truck actually takes?

The Tacoma is a torquey light weight (its a Toyota) truck. I'm sure he can get 22mpg taking it eeasy on the highway..

Tourqe per Toyota says 266lb/ft
My truck has basically the same weight plus 150 lbs and basically the exact same power ratings I would gander take atleast 3mpg if not more from the rating, remember this is Toyota we are talking about they are pretty famous for over exagerating their MPG ratings. granted I have 4.11's and you only have 3.73's somileage is slightly lower but I can get up and go faster.
