Still driving my first gen, and I can attest to the off-road prowess. Used to take her down a lot of rough trails at 30 to 50 mph and she took all the abuse without complaint. I love her, but you've got me pretty stoked about the third gen and now I've got wandering eyes. Your enthusiasm is contagious.

Nice video - just subscribed - I appreciate your energy. I have a 3rd Gen (2019 TRD Off Road) and my best friend had a 2002 TRD Off Road 4x4 Access Cab (with a 5" suspension lift, ARB Bumper, 33" Duratrac tires, Warn Winch, lights , etc). My friend had bought the truck new and meticulously maintained it . The truck looked and drove like new; anything that needed it had been replaced with OEM (including clutch, timing belt/water pump, brakes). My friend sold the truck to my son early last year. My son had just turned 18 at the time and had never driven a standard/manual transmission. We own a horse farm on a river so my son has been driving tractors, motorcycles since he was little, thus the learning curve on the truck's transmission was not a big deal. Those 1st gen trucks are such great vehicles - and are a joy to drive - on and off road!
