Besides, other than Harry I have never heard of a a Toyota truck referred

Well, *that* surely settles it. Sheesh. It's a term that actually
originated many years ago in California, and there are many, many
references to the term.
Must be a California thing. I never heard it but I did understand what
you meant.
There are a few of those "Tacos" on my street but nobody calls them a
Taco.
I doubt those folks in Washington say they live in Taco either.

Last week I was talking to a guy in the local Giant parking lot who had
just taken delivery of a orange Tacoma very similar to mine. He referred
to our trucks as "Tacos." He was in his 50s, I would guess.

I have a friend who lives in Tacoma. I'll see what he says.
