    Hi, new member here. I was encouraged to join by Sean226, though I didn't need much encouraging, I love forums.

    I'll be picking up an access cab Tacoma within the next week or so. Have a few later models lined up to look at, just have to choose the right one. First choice appears to be a 2011 V6 with 46k miles and TRD Off Road package, all stock.

    This will be my second truck, but I've been mostly a car guy. Time for another one so I can lug around my dirt bike and camping gear. A bit about my automotive tastes, my vehicle history is below:

    1966 VW Beetle
    2004 Dodge SRT4
    2002 Dodge Ram 1500
    2008 Scion tC
    2004 Dodge SRT4 (again, lol)
    2013 Hyundai Veloster (present vehicle)
    20?? Toyota Tacoma (future pick up)

    I also ride motorcycles, my other life passion.

    2005 Honda CBR 600rr
    2006 Kawasaki Ninja 636
    2012 Harley Davidson Iron 883
    2013 Harley Davidson Dyna Street Bob (present ride)

    Everyone go easy on the noob :D. Anxious to learn new information about the Taco's and to get my hands on one of my own to customize with my own personal flavor.

    PreRunner, don't need a 4x4. Just something to haul my junk :thumbsup: Of course, if you were still out here I would let you hold my "junk" big guy :D

    I think the standard 6ft bed of the AC will be good enough. A high school friend has a 06 AC with standard bed and our bikes fit in back just fine :)

    This is the 2011 that's my first choice. One owner. Clean background. So long as it drives well and everythings on the up and up, I'll likely bring her home this weekend.
