The 2004 Toyota Tacoma is EXPENSIVE, but AMAZING!

The 2004 Toyota Tacoma is the last year of the first generation of the Tacoma! In this video, I'll show you everything you need to know, including a bit of its history, what I do like, what I don't like, and exactly how nostalgic I am about this generation of Toyota vehicles.
Thank you, The Dirt Tourist, for letting me borrow this; you can find their Instagram here: / thedirttourist

As much as I love my 2023 my 2004 will always own my heart. I’m so glad I never sold it. It only has 138k miles on it and it runs as good as it did the day I bought it.

Wow, that's some low mileage for that truck!! Glad to hear you have enjoyed it so much.

I’ve owned 2 gen1 Tacomas 4WD v6 and also 2 Gen2 Tacomas and now own a 2021 TRD off road 4x4 automatic and I must say by far the Gen3 is my all time favorite, I would never go back to the previous tacoma Gens , love my Gen3 too much

I had that same truck and it is the ONLY vehicle that I regret trading in. The 5 speed was fun and the white gauge cluster was different. I would buy another if I can find a good one. My son is almost 13 son Imight need to get him one.

Sorry to hear your regret selling that one! I just asked The Dirt Tourist (who loaned me this one), and he has another one of these for sale right now, if you wanna check it out. You can find it on his site here: thedirttourist.com/inventory/1996taco

Beautiful Truck. Super Clean. Optioned Perfect. Depending on the Mile`s/Km`s that thing would and Should pull some Serious money at an auction. LMK when and if it going to be in one. All them Marks and stains just add character to the Truck lol. Thanks for another Great video Cheer`s. Edit after Hearing the current value of 10-12k that you stated that truck is easily going to be worth that amount because of demand and just inflation. New trucks run up over 80k Canadian eff buying new. Grab up and older Reliable truck that's not all rusted out and easy to work on and enjoy it, and NO Payments for years worrying about scratches and dings. IMO

[@readysetrev]

Totally agree with you! It's expensive, in comparison to what these use to be, but worth it, considering what else is out there, and the enjoyment of driving this thing!

Awesome 👏

Thanks!

You could never buy a good 4x4 5sp Gen 1 Tacoma for one or two thousand dollars. That’s just not true. Even 10 years ago a clean one was $7-12k.

I have a 02 taco with 181k miles and I love it I’m the second owner Wouldn’t trade it for a 2nd or 3rd gen !!!

[@readysetrev]

Haha they are great trucks!
