    I just traded my 09 scion tc that had 57+ thousand miles for a 07 tacoma pre-runner with 50.800 miles and very satisfied with the size of the truck (not too big nor too small) in your guys opinion, was that a smart idea?any tips and suggestions would be greatly accepted, Im very new to owning a truck and maintenance of one so if you guys have any tips on performance and some gas milage tips and parts I would really appreciate it. im from the san diego area and hopefully theres people that from here to help me out.
