    Just wanted to introduce myself, I'm new to the truck world. I just purchased my first new 2015 tacoma truck and I love it. I'm a city boy from NY and I never owned or drove a truck before after 36 years, but after living in the south for the past 15 years, I needed to, lol. I'm all about keeping my cars/truck looking good and performing great, so any advice or suggestions will be most apprecaited.:cool:

    I for one would never go back to a car. I'm spoiled by sitting high and being able to see over things.

    Welcome NYJ78!

    I was a car man for the first half of my life. I bought a Sierra and never felt the need to go back to a car, today I'm taking that Sierra and trading it in for a 2015 Taco like yours.

    Trust me, the trucks are where it's at. Once you get used to the comfort of the seating position, it'll be an inconvenience to get into a car.

    Not to mention all the capability benefits! Go anywhere, haul stuff around.. enjoy!

    Welcome! I have owned trucks for most of my adult life and I do not know how I could own a home without having a truck. I just bought a new PreRunner earlier this month; it's my third Toyota truck and my fifth Toyota since 1970. Enjoy!
