This week on Regular Car Reviews, the 2008 Toyota Tacoma 2WD Manual takes us back to a simpler time. No oversized ego, no lifestyle cosplay, hardly any actual features, and a fairly plain aesthetic by modern standards all add up to give us the kind of pickup truck that makes modern trucks feel ridiculous. It’s not the prettiest truck, the fastest truck, or the most capable Tacoma ever built, but it still holds value better than most of its contemporaries. But do any of these things actually mean it’s a GOOD truck? Is it still useful in 2026, or is this simply a truck for nostalgic sentimentality? It’s been a while since we’ve had trucks on RCR, so join us for an in-depth review and critique of one of the most important trucks of its generation.
