    Yea the color is great. Never owned a gray or silver car before but I love it! And yes it is clean for now. Can't wait to muddy her up!

    Any recommendations on breaking in the engine. I've been easy on her so far since she only has 35 miles on her now.

    Congrats. Looks great!

    Take it easy for at least 500 miles, and don't use the cruise. Then, have fun!

    Engine is broken in from factory. Just drive it normal. Like any engine, don't red line the shit out of it and you'll be alright.

    I hate that you guys can get Sport AC and OR DC down there.

    Welcome to TW !

    Nice choice in color. I just picked my new Taco up a few weeks ago. Great truck !
    This is a great site. Lots of helpful folks.

    I don't have any dislikes after driving a little over 1000 miles since I got it.
    Only thing I'm a little concerned about are the Sport seats. They're stiff and I'm not yet accustomed to them. I hope over time they will break in and be comfortable.
