    Hey guys. I've been a member of TW for a while, now. After I sold my 2010 Ford Ranger, I've been looking at a step up for a while. The Taco was the answer to my question, "what's the best small truck on the market?"

    After being involved with a few forums, learning the ins and outs of different trucks, the Taco won me over. I do most of my work, myself, and it seems the Taco will be no exception.

    I just bought a 2014 Sport 4x4 in Blue Ribbon Metallic a few days ago. I'll be picking it up from the dealership in just a few hours. I'm excited!

    While I had my Ranger, I was all about the DYI mods and putting together write-ups and tutorials for the others that enjoyed reading them and used them in their projects. I hope to contribute to the Tacoma community in the same way.

    I can't wait to get this ball rolling. It all starts today, for me!

    Thanks, everyone. I can't wait to pick up my new Taco. The dealership told me it'll be ready in an hour. They are inspecting it, detailing it, and fillin' her up.

    Pics will happen when I have it. Promise! lol

    Nice truck OP and thanks for joining TW!

    There's something you'll have to get used to now from driving the Ford Ranger....

    You'll notice you won't be at the dealership every few months for problems, aside of your 'free' oil change visits.
