    My name is Steve but my friends call me Bear. This looks like a great forum and I'm looking forward to becoming an active member here. I'm considering purchasing the 2007 Tacoma, double cab, long bed, 4 wheel drive automatic. I've looked at the new Nissan trucks, Ford trucks, Chevy trucks and Dodge trucks. I have to say I wasn't impressed with any of them.

    Welcome, Bear! A lot of our members have owned those other trucks in the past, and it's pretty obvious what they prefer. You planning to do any towing or offroading with it, or is it strictly a family truck?

    Welcome to TW, Bear!

    If you want to get a great deal on a Tacoma, and you don't mind driving a bit, Check out Sterling McCall Toyota in Houston. If you can talk to "the Truck Guy" Rick Lowery. He got me a hell of a deal on my 007!

    Cheers! :D
