Have owned 4WD vehicles for over 50 years. Presently own a 2011 Toyota Tacoma 4WD. That truck is helpless compared to my 1994 Toyota pickup bought in1996.
1994 4 banger pickup with:
Two Lock Right lockers
Tweaked engine control module
Headers and cat back exhaust
Line X bed liner
Demountable 8,000 pound winch
You're saying your '94 is more capable than the newer model?
Not only yes, but HELL yes. . .. I have the exact same Toyota 4x4, 1995. Mine is an extended
cab. I also have a 2016 toyota Tacoma crew cab 4x4.
All of that crap the 2016 has for "Crawl", "rocks", "Mud", "terrain", is basically useless. Lock in
the 4x4, and it has that stupid "Anti-slip" crap that amounts to nothing but a waste of money.
I do like the ability to lock into 4x4 high or low while inside the truck, but in reality, the truck
does not do near as good in stuck situations because of the antislip junk.
My 1995 Toyota. .Yeah, you gotta get outside and lock in the hubs, but when they are locked
in, they are LOCKED in permanently without that anti-slip crap. And you will spin all tires at
the same time, which has helped me more than once getting out of a mess hole.. I pulled a
friend of mines GMC 4x4 out of an high centered embankment with my 95 toyota.
If I could have a choice at all. . I would far rather have a 4x4 like my 95 toyota, than any of
the new stuff that comes out on the vehicles today. It is THAT big of a difference.
By the way Okie, I swear if you added the extended cab on that truck of yours, it would be
almost impossible to tell our trucks apart.
I also love those 22RE engines.
