    Hi guys,

    I bought a used 2006 Tacoma a few months ago and love the truck.
    I was previously driving a 1999 Ford Ranger. Compared to the Ranger, my Tacoma feels like a luxury car. I absolutely love it. Most of the time I think how well things are thought out compared to the ranger.

    Anyway, I recently had a little problem with my roof molding and stumbled upon this forum by googling. I can't believe that there's an entire forum dedicated to Tacomas. Certainly wouldn't find that for Rangers.

    Well, I'm from Canada, but I have a US Truck. Not quite sure if I'll have trouble with warranty issues. I've heard that it "should" be fine, but I guess we'll see.

    Steve

    Hi there Fellow Canuck!

    Welcome to TW, there is tons of information here. Very addictive Forum!!!

    As for the warranty issues, I also have an American truck(bought it new last may in Vermont), I have experienced no issues when getting it serviced at a local dealer.

    Enjoy the truck and the site!
