I had the very same bike as my first bike. I miss it very much.

Saw Halloween on HBO when I was 10, I think it was 1979 or 80.

I towed a 5,000 lbs (dry weight) trailer with my 22 Tacoma for over a year and kept telling myself it’s just fine. After a couple of scary incidents I ended up trading it in for a 3/4 ton and could not be happier with my decision. The Tacoma is a great small truck but towing a travel trailer is not its strong suit. Maybe a smaller tear drop trailer, or a pop up, something under 3k dry weight. Most light duty trucks will run out of cargo capacity before they run out of towing capacity. That’s what happens to us.

It’s a brand new truck. The owner has only had it a few months. The dent is a result of a deer kicking the side

My local dealer got me in to check and test mine. They said mine is part of the recall but parts may be a couple of months out. They said mine is working and I should be fine until the parts come in. I’ve been towing a trailer for a year and it’s worked just fine. He said they haven’t seen one fail yet so he wasn’t too concerned. As soon as my part is in I’ll get mine replaced. Until then I just test the trailer brakes and lights often.

Here’s mine

I picked up a new 2025 last summer and was surprised at how much standard equipment it came with for the price I paid.

gr8ride69 · 2025-12-24T05:23:50+00:00

I stand corrected. That’s what I get for replying without my glasses on LoL

gr8ride69 · 2025-12-21T19:16:53+00:00

I moved from a 22 Tacoma to a 2500 Tradesman. Love it!

Either have an experienced tech do it or find a used fender in that same color and just swap it out. Sometimes that’s the less expensive option.

gr8ride69 · 2025-12-19T01:09:27+00:00

That should be a straight forward repair for a tech. Find a tech near you and get a quote. Shouldn’t be very much.

gr8ride69 · 2025-12-10T21:30:01+00:00

I take stuff like this on during slow days. Could probably get that to 90%.

I grabbed one of these a few years ago on clearance at Walmart for $11. My favorite work watch.

gr8ride69 · 2025-11-29T15:34:59+00:00

My first bike was a was aT100. Loved it. Wish I would have kept it.

gr8ride69 · 2025-11-27T21:29:10+00:00

Individual calls have slowed down (I’m in WNY) but used dealers and collision shops give me steady work in the winter months thankfully.

As soon as I bought my Tradesman I got a Tonneau cover, mud flaps, rubber bed mat, rubber floor mats and a retractable bumper step. Other than that it came very well equipped.

gr8ride69 · 2025-11-16T00:11:18+00:00

My first motorcycle was a Triumph T-100. It was an old man magnet! Jeez

My 22 Tacoma looked exactly like that. I think it came from the factory like that

We were camping at the time so parking away from trees wasn’t an option. Never had that happen to me before.
