    I'd like to thank everyone for your help over the last year. I have loved my Tacoma more than any other truck I've ever owned. My wife and I found out we are pregnant with our third child and we realized I would need a bigger truck (carseats...). After owning my Tacoma, I couldn't consider any other truck than a Toyota so I'm now a proud owner of a Tundra and a soon to be proud father to our 3rd angel in February.

    Congrats on the new baby on the way! I could see multiple car seats being a tight fit in the tacoma. Better be careful now or you'll find yourself in the market for a Sienna lol

    Thanks everyone. My avatar is now updated and I've uploaded some pics. I wish I could say it was new but with two kids and a third on the way I had to trade in. Since the Tacoma is so strong/popular it was almost an even trade (same year model and # of miles). Here's one below:

    And yes it is badass, its impressive how light it feels for a truck it's size and weight. It's power feels like letting a beast out of it's cage. And it's tougher than a $2 steak, took it off road to do some work at the farm and it was almost as nimble as the Taco.

    Do you live near Cypress? I swear those houses look familiar to where my sister used to live.

    The Tundra and Tacoma are built in the same factory somewhere in your home state right? The sticker on my door jamb reads Toyota Motor Manufacturing Texas Inc. I wonder if they have tours of the place? Congrats on the upcoming baby and new truck! I test drove a double cab Tundra before I bought my Tacoma recently, I found it had a comfy interior and lots of room as well.

    Thanks. And yes all Toyota Trucks in the USA are built in Texas, I believe San Antonio.

    I recalled the commercial where a factory Tundra pulled the space shuttle so I got on youtube and looked up Tundra commercials. It's pretty impressive what they've put it through.
