    Just bought my first brand new vehicle, 08 Tacoma double cab SR5 with 4km on it. What a dream. Been driving a 92 Mazda B2600i 4X4 for the last 10 years which was a great truck but man what a difference. Can't wait for Christmas to take it out to the mountains and get it in the snow!!! It makes the little mazda feel like a little compact car!

    Welcome to TW. Stock tires are terrible in the snow, so be careful.

    GT and I both moved up from Mazda pickups to our Taco. You're in good company! Mine was a wimpy 2300 4 banger that I had to get out and push when the A/C was running.

    No stock tires for me! Bridgestone Dueler A/T revos just put on 2 weeks ago, went up to a bigger size as well! Already tried them out, awesome!
