    2008 Tacoma V6 PreRunner SR5 Extended Double Cab Desert Sand Mica
    Installed Overhead Compass and Temperature Display along with outside temperature sensor and wiring; LED lights reverse backup; LED license plate lights; Added GTA Bluetooth Audio kit to stock radio for iphone audio; Spare tire steel braided air hose extension connection to rear bumper; Installed new headlights along with new bulbs PIAA H4 XTreme and for fog lights PIAA H10 XTreme bulbs. Installed new hood with "hood-scoop". Installed Predator Side Steps. Replaced front chrome grill with customized color matched (Desert Sand Mica) grill with added TOYOTA lettering (also in matched color), installed and secured tailgate anti-theft devices. Also installed a new external TPMS monitor for all 4 tires.
    My very first time looking over a 2016 Tacoma and well, for me, the 'new' front end style change/look just kills it for me-don't like it.

    I like just about everything else, interior, tail gate, etc. and what I really like and was surpised and impressed with the new Tacoma over-all is the fact that they now come with a V8 engine!

    But other than those things the "new" front end style design just doesn't seem acceptable to me.

    I think I will not be buying a new Tacoma after all.

    I'll keep my 2008 for a while longer.

    That's all for now-I'm off to go Dove Hunting!

    V8? Are you drunk? Please don't go dove hunting if you are drunk.

    On second thought, please go dove hunting.

    You had to start a new thread for this? Lot of people dont like the new truck, lot of people do. Stay off 3rd Gen section if u dont like it.

    What did those doves ever do to you? Now be a real man and go Isis hunting.

    Did you get to drive the V8 engine in the new Tacoma. It seems like no one else has heard of it.

    Wow, if it did, have a v8 that big mouthed front end would be taking a back seat and I'd be lining up money in hand.

    Since you were impressed with the V8, can you enlighten us and do a write up on its performance.

    Without a picture of said V8, it didn't happen.

    Must have been the only Tacoma from the factory with a V8.

    Lol!!!!

    Sounds like a few kids got their "feelings hurt"- like finding out their short of a few McNuggets in their "Happy meals"....lol!!!!

    The 2016 Tacoma looks too much like the old Dodge Dakota.

    Anyway back to Dove Hunting!....lol!
