Vehicle Stability Control (VSC). Uses braking and engine power cuts to prevent you from getting out of control. I like to mess around occasionally when it snows and do donuts etc. I hate the damn thing. I wish I could rip it out of the truck. Also, I wish that in Canada you could get the Double Cab in the TRD Off Road package... would have been nice to have a locking rear diff. Nice looking Tacoma, uncc. I allllmost got white.

It's a 4x4. I've got a backup camera, and when I put it in reverse I get an in-cab beep (once) to let me know, "dude... you missed 1st..." I hate the traction control thing though. I've lost the back end a couple times on ice and I naturally move to correct it. But the dang thing does its stupid traction control and starts braking trying to correct it, and making it pointless and almost dangerous to try and correct it manually.

Thanks all. It's a pretty fun truck for sure. Nicest ride quality I've ever experienced. Not too sure why the fuel economy is so bad... it's only a 4.0L V6, with a 6spd manual... I'll be taking it offroad in the spring to go fishing etc. Payments aren't actually that bad, as I put a bunch of money down on it. But in the end.......................... I still have both of my Pathys Just gotta get the motivation to get stuff done on them and get the '94 trail ready. Yeehaw! Summer project.

Been too busy to come on here and post pics. 100 hours of work per week is kiiiiiillling me.... At the dealership Snowwwww First wash I'll get better pictures when I have the time. In all honesty... I'm kind of half thinking of trading it in on something else... This thing is worse on fuel than my Pathy! I still love it though, but 15.5mpg avg is killing me.

Dowser... way to rain on my parade bro! Sheeeeeeesh! I'm still getting it... and I'll be getting a super warranty.. also, one of our loyal clients at our fishing resort is the new vehicle sales manager at the dealership I'm buying from. So, hopefully I'll get treated better. If not, oh well. Pathy's were new from dealerships at one point.

Easy, guys.... easy....

I'm buying new because I'm tired of used vehicles- I always get lemons. I'd much rather have a vehicle that didn't have a previous owner so I don't have to worry about how it may have been beat heavily offroad, or revved like crazy, or ran 10k miles over an oil change etc. I figure I'll have it for a long time, and the doublecab will be great for a family. Tacomas actually hold their value quite well. Obviously you wont get the whole value out of it, but imo, they hold their value much better than Fords etc. Tacomas are also the cheapest option out there right now, for new trucks... where I live, at least...

Well, I still own my '90 and '94 SE's, but I just ordered a new ride... Now that I've transferred to a different ambulance station where I can actually make some money, I've decided to get a new truck. 2011 TRD Tacoma Double Cab, 6spd manual. Hopefully I'll have time to work on the '94 and get it trail ready for having fun in, and loving Will probably have pics when it arrives in early November...

Looks good!

Having the glass completely out is wonderful Though, remember that it's out before you hit 5" deep puddles at 50m/hr....

Because he's a newbie, and the search engine sucks for everyone.... Here ya go. Rear Spring Options Re-indexing and cranking torsion bars for front end lift. Should run you just the cost of Jeep Grand Cherokee coils (or whatever you choose from the list). My coils from an auto wrecker were $40 each. Enjoyyyyy.

The FX4 may need to run a 17" or larger wheel perhaps? No idea, but the difference may make a difference, ie. the 16" wont fit? Go back to the dealership and tell them.. AFAIK it's 'against the rules' for a dealership to send a vehicle out without a spare tire and the means to change it.
