    I just bought a 2011 tacoma prerunner. I have been reading many of your posts and decided I should sign up. I am a former 1980 FJ4 landcruiser owner ( Loved it!) all the way until somebody stole it in 1986. [​IMG] Anyway, I am a cop and former Military Intel. So far I really like my Truck. 2011 Tacoma prerunner SR5. Metallic Grey, 2wd, 4cyl. I agonized about getting the 4cyl or the 6cyl. I decided on the 4 because I drive it 35 miles one way to work. MPG was a major factor. I am going to put new wheels & tires along with a few other things to dress it up. I look forward to all the input on this site. Monterey, CA.

    I was a bit unhappy that the fog lights were not included when I bought the truck. And yeah, I could have negotiated them in, but I bought from a dealer 3 hours away from where I live, and time was an issue. I will have them added on soon. Along with new wheels.
