    Hi all,

    I just picked up a new 08 Tacoma Double Cab SR5 4x2 PreRunner yesterday. Traded in my 06 GTO LS2 M6, which was a terrific car, but a little lacking in the utility department.

    I looked you all up and have been reading lots of interesting stuff on this forum since. Thanks in advance for the help I know I'll get here.

    Anything notorious with Tacomas that I should be looking out for?


    Chris.
