I Put My Cash Down on the New Tacoma Manual

I was planning to buy a new truck, and sure enough, some friends were asking why I even needed a truck, and others were telling me how terrible the manual transmission is in the new Tacoma and that I should just get an automatic. Well, I decided to put my money where my mouth is. I am finally in a position to retire my GTI to weekend project status, and I really wanted a truck. I have never owned one, and honestly, we do not get enough time on this spinning rock to live with regrets. So, I bought a truck. And guess what? I got the stickshift. It drives like a truck, which is exactly what it is. The clutch is light, the throw is long, and no, I am not shifting like Vin Diesel, but I am shifting gears for myself, and I love it. Thank you, Toyota, for not giving up and dropping the manual from what might be the last pickup truck to offer one. I did my part and bought one. You are welcome. Now go buy one so they keep making them. #ManualTransmission #ToyotaTacoma #TruckLife #Cars

Is That Bed-less Truck Actually Legal? 😂

You've seen them on the road. A pickup truck with the whole back end just… missing. It looks kind of wild, like a movie stunt car, and you probably thought, "Is that even legal?" I did some digging, and the answer is not a simple yes or no. No state has a law that just says, "no truck bed." So, technically, it's not illegal. But you're now responsible for making sure the truck still meets every single safety rule. We're talking about things like taillights, turn signals, your license plate, and splash guards. If the bed was covering any of those things, you have to find a way to re-install them properly. And this is where it gets risky. You might think, "I'll just jury-rig some lights and keep it moving." And a lot of people do. They drive around for weeks with exposed wires and temporary setups. The problem is, you're in a huge legal gray area. It's not just about getting a ticket. If the other driver's lawyer or your insurance company sees that your taillights were duct-taped on or wires were hanging out, they can argue your truck was unsafe. Suddenly, you could be held responsible for the crash. Even if you were completely innocent. #TruckLife #CarMods #LegalAdvice #RiskVsReward #SafetyFirst #CarTalk
