Absurd values of 1st gens, has it always been this crazy?

Ok, I realize that me even posting this thread is testament to why these trucks are desirable, but I can't remember it being even remotely this bad in...

As more gen1's end up in the boneyard, there's less good ones being for sale causing their value to rise.
I can't for the life of me wonder why these gen1 guys are so afraid of these newer tacoma's that has all this nanny crap. If you don't like it turn it off, or desensitized it like I did with mine. You still end up with a better riding truck with way more power, yet about the same, or better fuel economy. With these newer trucks, you get a cheaper insurance rate too.
Reminds me of back in the day when vcr's were being phased out for dvd players. Everyone began hoarding their vcr's till parts became no longer available to fix them. In the meantime the ones that were still working well were being sold as used for more than they were worth.
 
could it the future cost of fixing that nanny stuff when it will break and leave in limp mode

no way is insurance any less on the newer ones with All Those Nanny Safety Sensors

The nanny crap has nothing to do with the trucks performance. It's there for insurance purposes helping drivers that can't drive well, to protect them from themselves, and others. The limp mode built in the ecm, is mainly to protect other critical engine components from catastrophic failure, should it detect a sensor thats sending a code, but even thats not always the case.
 
I don't know if this is the appropriate thread for this but I just have to share it on here! I was at Home Depot yesterday afternoon sitting in my 1st gen when a lady parked next to me in an F250 Super Duty and noticed my Taco! She started talking and told me her mom had one similar to mine that I think she said her mom had bought brand new! She said that when her mother past away a few years ago the truck had 350,000 miles on it then her brother got it and is still driving it now! I told her yes ma'am they're great little trucks and she said yes they are!

A friends son is still in the process of getting his transmission rebuilt in his first gen after replacing an engine last year. It's been a money pit with these trucks that are past their prime. I got to ride in his before the transmission went out. Frankly they're like riding in a 55 chevy vs my 3rd gen. I can't fathom why there are some that gravitate toward them. Maybe afraid to try the new stuff, idk.
 
You can always get a set of hood struts if that challenged. Besides how often does one need to pop the hood open? I've only needed to once a year when doing an oil change.
 
How u close it with hood struts if ya cannot reach the top?!

U supposed to ch check oil level plus when u get that taco juice
