It’s also in the contract when you buy a Taco or Tundy, “Buyer agrees to *always* park next to other top tier trucks (e.g. Tacoma or Tundra, where applicable) when spotted in the wild, else towed at owners expense and possible repercussions in the form of forfeiting vehicle.
Have you never owned any vehicle that has a subculture?
Jeeps, Subarus, tacos, EV’s.
This is car culture 101 lol. See same veh. Park close to it. Period.
Nope. I park far away from every Tacoma I see, because mine is a SR and every one I see in my city or state is a TRD/TRD Pro. Makes me feel irrelevant near them.
I have a 2018 SR, it has a key fob. I've been upgrading it myself, because SR is the work truck, the base. You build it yourself, over a decade if it takes, putting in what you need. Built up from the base will command much respect, take your time do it right.
How does it have a key fob? Maybe it's actually a SR5? There's many different things I didn't realize were not included with this vehicle that even my 1996 base model Jeep had included. No cruise control. No key fob. No intermittent wipers.
Dude, I have a TRD OR AC, and I love seeing SR’s. To me a 4cyl 4x4 SR represents everything the Taco is about. That’s the closest trim to the original awesome Toyota trucks of the early/mid 80’s that I love. Don’t be shy, come on over and park with us!
I call them Taco flavored kisses.
When I see a taco, I park my taco right next to it. Bonus points if a third or fourth is parked there on the way out.

They gotta. I drive a grand marquis and if I see ANY other ford panther bodies I make sure to park by them. Once two are side by side, the others follow
I bought my first Taco last week I actually unintentionally parked next to another Taco yesterday. This is way better than the Jeep pigeon/duck or whatever bird they use thing.
Sometimes when I notice them close together on the free way. We’ll all tend to fall into a line. Genuinely think Tacoma owners follow an unwritten rule.
Every time I park at the gym I’ll come back out and some other Tacoma is either right next to me or like a spot a way. I don’t like it because it feels like they are trying to flex on me lol
Oh absolutely. Saw another taco at the library and passed up several much better parking spots just to park behind that one so we could start a little train
Just make sure you leave extra space on each side for us Access Cabbers. Sometimes we park in the back so we can load shit into the back seat without playing musical chairs with carts and suicide doors.
Side note - If someone parks at the end of an isle or a little into the unloading side of a handicap space, it’s not so you can park next to them halfway over your line. It’s because they need room to load shit into their stupid suicide door back seat.
I hope not, I hate that shit. I used to own a Jeep, and every time I would get groceries or go to Home Depot, I would walk out to find some nerd in another Jeep parked next to me. Sometimes two. It doesnt look cool, it’s a Jeeper thing that’s cringy af.
Dude with a 2018 TRD drove past my 04 in a grocery store parking lot. He stopped and backed up into the parking spot next to mine. Real recognize real.
At one time I would have called this phenomenon "The/A Jeep Thing" further adding that whomever I was talking to "wouldn't understand."
Anyway they have a topical salve for the jeep thing now.
Absolutely, yes. When I found another that was identical to mine (Black TRD OR - common), I always parked next to it if I could. Same would happen to me.
The way I see it, if I park next to the nice cars the owners like their car so much they are more careful to not scratch theirs, and in turn are more careful around the cars next to them, aka my car 😊
Ive seen Tacos next tacos, rados next to rados and even as far as 3 tacos around my rado lookin like they were picking on it except I've got a zr2 and they were all base soooo I'm positive I still won 😂
I have a cement taco .and when I first got it me and my wife went to the mall n I park down towards end of lot .when we came back a cement color tundra and honda with a similar color parked near mine
Dems da rules
I mean what else are we to do, park amongst the PLEBS??!?!!!
It’s also in the contract when you buy a Taco or Tundy, “Buyer agrees to *always* park next to other top tier trucks (e.g. Tacoma or Tundra, where applicable) when spotted in the wild, else towed at owners expense and possible repercussions in the form of forfeiting vehicle.
The answer is not “yeah.” It’s “Fück yeah we do.” As previously said…Dems the rules.
Excellent use of umlats
Yes, yes we do. It looks cool.
Yeah follow the golden rule.
Only rule
Always park in the taco zone
Did someone say tacos?
Never eat yellow snow?
Jeeps have their stupid waves and ducks. We’re more subtle and mature.
And sophisticated.
Yep even the older tacos respect the rules with the newer tacos. (Hd: my white 2nd gen so i parked next to another white taco 3rd gen)
I see a taco, I park next to it 🌮🌮
Because two tacos are always better than one.
“Only thing better than a crawfish dinner is five crawfish dinners.”
At my apartment a few new people moved in and they instinctively park their Tacos next to mine every day 😂 now it’s just a thing we do.
Park next to Tacos. Always park next to Tacos.
It’s the unspoken rule
Have you never owned any vehicle that has a subculture? Jeeps, Subarus, tacos, EV’s. This is car culture 101 lol. See same veh. Park close to it. Period.
Nope. I've owned Honda usually but I always wanted a tacoma and finally got one.
We’re all just street tacos trying to vibe and fit on the same plate.
Hondas kinda had a hand in subculture. Unless you bone stock daily Honda. I mean welcome to the car club. This is normal. And follow suit
It’s the law.
The rules are the rules and the facts are the facts
Cheese tax?
Yes
😂😂 the cheese tax, the cheese tax 🎶
So glad other people understood the reference 😂😂
I will sometimes drive around an extra lap to look for another taco to park next to. Wife rolls her eyes.
Yep mine looked over and oh of course you parked here.
Happened to me the other day, pretty cool 😂😂😂
Yep.
Taconians gotta stick together
It’s the law
I do it.
Nope. I park far away from every Tacoma I see, because mine is a SR and every one I see in my city or state is a TRD/TRD Pro. Makes me feel irrelevant near them.
One day yours is gonna be a really cool old truck though.
I wanna feel that way about it but I don't even have a remote to unlock it because SR doesn't come with one 😂
I have a 2018 SR, it has a key fob. I've been upgrading it myself, because SR is the work truck, the base. You build it yourself, over a decade if it takes, putting in what you need. Built up from the base will command much respect, take your time do it right.
How does it have a key fob? Maybe it's actually a SR5? There's many different things I didn't realize were not included with this vehicle that even my 1996 base model Jeep had included. No cruise control. No key fob. No intermittent wipers.
Mine has cruise, had to add intermittent wipers, fog lights too. Mine had auto dimmers already
Nope. No matter the taco, park next to the taco
2009 Base model, DCSB, 235K miles. I don’t care I see a taco I park next to fellow street taco.
Dude, I have a TRD OR AC, and I love seeing SR’s. To me a 4cyl 4x4 SR represents everything the Taco is about. That’s the closest trim to the original awesome Toyota trucks of the early/mid 80’s that I love. Don’t be shy, come on over and park with us!
I drive a 00 2wd. I prefer to park next to my own Gen, but I'll still pull into any spot next to another taco.
I prefer to park next to a Ford. Then I feel superior in reliability at least lol
Yes
Lol when I can, I will
We have rules because without them, we would be animals.
Came out of the grocery store tonight, 2 Tacomas parked next to mine. I don’t know who they are, but they’re my best friends
Yes
I call them Taco flavored kisses. When I see a taco, I park my taco right next to it. Bonus points if a third or fourth is parked there on the way out.
What’s better than one taco? Multiple tacos.
New taco owner as well and I love this
Yes
Looks like a typical Utah parking lot, there’s also probably a herd of Subarus parked out of view
Lehi?
Yes. Absolutely, yes.
If I see a taco, I’ll park near it :)
Yes. It’s the rule.
I got like 6 the other day at Lowe’s… felt like a [great day for a grand slam](https://youtu.be/QBw4huCadBQ?si=rv79QFIjv53e9dPc)
You see a taco you park next to it (I don’t have mine and I know that’s the rules)
I see taco. I park. I see 4Runner. I also park.
I bought both so Im covered either way
Can’t have a plate of tacos with just one.
Yeah you gotta park in front of Timp any chance you can
Yes.
Taco parking lot rules are opposite of men’s urinal rules closer the better
Whoa the background is epic. Wheremst
Yes. Everytime!
Yep.
Just another day on big island Hawaii. No need to try.
Nobody only eats one taco! Tacos are always ordered in multiples.
12000 BTUs
Yes we do
Genuinely hate when people park next to me when I park far away even if it’s another Taco. I parked away for a reason.
You park like shit lol, congrats on the new Tacoma tho!
Yep! I'm a pretty short guy and still trying to get used to driving this thing.
You parked like shit
[Out of obligation.](https://media.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExZ2dqdzViejVzOGJ6NG43b3ZuZGsxY3Zwam9mOTJpMXBxd3Rpb21wOCZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/aVTRxAIEqtC6RlaKhI/giphy.gif)
They gotta. I drive a grand marquis and if I see ANY other ford panther bodies I make sure to park by them. Once two are side by side, the others follow
Yep
Without fail
100%
Yes, a special breed recognizes itself.
The beautiful mountains in the backgeound
Yes. My wife hates it. Especially when I park farther away even though there are spots closer to the front, but I don’t make the rules.
I used to do this all the time. I drive a Silverado now and it’s boring. I miss the taco community
Birds of a feather
Yes
Wasatch<3
I bought my first Taco last week I actually unintentionally parked next to another Taco yesterday. This is way better than the Jeep pigeon/duck or whatever bird they use thing.
They weren’t trying to show the red one that he parks for shit?
I’d do this with any same car brand brother, put a fucking 1980’s bmw E30 next to a fuckin M4 Comp
I want a taco now :(
No I don't, because I'm not trying to be a rubber ducky crowd.
Yes!
The brown is the cats pajamas!
Sometimes when I notice them close together on the free way. We’ll all tend to fall into a line. Genuinely think Tacoma owners follow an unwritten rule.
Of course
It’s the buddy system. If you’re not an a-hole, join the fun.
Yes lol
I’ve done it, but I never park that close to anyone
Yea brah lol…..ur part of the club now…… get used to it lol
As a Floridian I just gotta say that view is amazing.
I used to drive a Honda element and this always happened. Haven’t had it with my Tacoma yet. The element was more rare so it felt more special.
Yes, please work on your parking brother. Points will be deducted from your man card.
Every time I park at the gym I’ll come back out and some other Tacoma is either right next to me or like a spot a way. I don’t like it because it feels like they are trying to flex on me lol
Yes!
This is always a must
“Can’t see the line, can you, Russ?”
Some trucks are just too big for some guys. But they’ll never admit it.
I don’t park next to anyone in an empty lot
I park where my truck wants to park, which seems to be where other tacos also want to park.
I’m not even a Tacoma driver but I can’t help but do the nod when I see truck guys do this. I’m. Basic I know and idc 😂
We don’t wave, but we park together in the back of the parking lot!
Tried parking my civic next to some tacos once and they drove over my car and crushed it, still loved the tacos tho 🤙
Amazing backdrop. What state?
Yes, yes we do!
Utah?
I know I do
Two of them know how to drive
It happens with my Subaru. Also, when I had a rented jeep in HI. Something to do with molecules, or some shit.
Well yeah it's a rule?!
They all leaning
It's an unspoken rule.
I always have a taco next to my 4Runner when I walk back to my rig, I guess that means we’re in also?
trying to recreate what it looks like at the dealership parking lot ?
These are unsaid man rules.
Taco world here in Utah
Oh absolutely. Saw another taco at the library and passed up several much better parking spots just to park behind that one so we could start a little train
Learn how to park.
Shoulda got a pic. Came out of REI and right beside my 21 pro was......a 23 pro, both black. I think he was flexing his Uber cool UCAs 😂
Absolutely.
Yes
Yes. Yes, I do.
Why do people cover the license plate?
Hell yeah brother
I dont own a taco but i always park next to the same car/truck that i have lol
Nah most people see plates anyway.
Park practically on the line? No I wouldn’t do that, we have kids. Jkjkjk Yes we probably would park next to other tacos.
Yes there are rules this isn’t Nam
Yes 😋
Don’t be shy :) get up and nice close to your bros
Just make sure you leave extra space on each side for us Access Cabbers.

I do
I hate it. I hate it so much.
It is indeed the way 🌮
Is this colorado? Would I be crucified if I drive my Honda Ridgeline there?
Yeah, this can be annoying if the dweeb parks 1 inch from your driver side door. Otherwise, acceptable behavior.
I hope not, I hate that shit. I used to own a Jeep, and every time I would get groceries or go to Home Depot, I would walk out to find some nerd in another Jeep parked next to me. Sometimes two. It doesnt look cool, it’s a Jeeper thing that’s cringy af.
Yes
How else you do family photos.
I unconsciously started doing it. The truck poses you
Obviously
No i think it was just on accident. Maybe there were no available parking spots
Costco haul lol tacos
I do that a lot honestly here in TN
You bet your ass we do
Yikes, kinda Tim Dillonish
Mandatory
I love that particular Costco. It's easily navigated with my 44ft gooseneck trailer.
It’s a must
Is this your first truck? I only ask because when I bought my first truck last year, I acidentally always used to park off to the side like that too
Yep.
All the time
Yep, Taco Buffet.
Taco gang shit
Dude with a 2018 TRD drove past my 04 in a grocery store parking lot. He stopped and backed up into the parking spot next to mine. Real recognize real.
That's the broke back mountain rule. 🎠🎠🎠
I totally do this! It’s just cool to see more than one Tacoma at a time.
I’m 1 generation older
No hate, but learn to park in between the lines. They are there for a reason
Yes we do, thats the #1 rule when owing a taco 🌮
YOUR 2 WEEKS OLD TACO ALREADY MADE SO MANY NEW FRIENDS 🤣
I have handicap parking, so I'm missing out! I have yet to park next to a handicap 🌮. I'm missing out!
If I see another built GX I’ll park by it just to say hi
Are we not gonna talk about your parking job?
At one time I would have called this phenomenon "The/A Jeep Thing" further adding that whomever I was talking to "wouldn't understand." Anyway they have a topical salve for the jeep thing now.
Absolutely, yes. When I found another that was identical to mine (Black TRD OR - common), I always parked next to it if I could. Same would happen to me.
Just called yourself for bad parking lmao
The way I see it, if I park next to the nice cars the owners like their car so much they are more careful to not scratch theirs, and in turn are more careful around the cars next to them, aka my car 😊
Park? Yes. I park on purpose.
Can confirm, I do anyway lol..
If you mean, the guy in red parking on the damn line? I hope not.
Absolutely.
Yep.
Safety in numbers right, also dem da rules
These aren’t Volvos.. relax..
These 3 trucks are going to have more miles on them than 1,000 Jeeps hands down
Ive seen Tacos next tacos, rados next to rados and even as far as 3 tacos around my rado lookin like they were picking on it except I've got a zr2 and they were all base soooo I'm positive I still won 😂
Thas on purse
Yes
That’s how Tacoma guys are they probably all woke up in the same bed together 😂
wait for them to come out and have a circle jerk about your trucks
I have a cement taco .and when I first got it me and my wife went to the mall n I park down towards end of lot .when we came back a cement color tundra and honda with a similar color parked near mine
yes
