    Hello all. Long time lurker, first time poster and great to be here! :thumbsup:

    Priorities change so back into a pick-up to tote grandkids and campers to the woods and water.

    Picked up a White TRD 4Dr SB Sport 4x4 3 pedal today and will start the camper search now that we have a TV.

    Looking at a Lance 1575 or 1475 for those weekend duties. :D

    First month of ownership... This month I'm removing front air dam, and also Rhino lining the bed.
    Welcome. The Lance 1575 looks like a great little trailer. We've been popup tent trailering for many years and just went hard sided this year. Anyway, you'll enjoy that setup, good tow weight/size for the Tacoma.

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    This will be good. Congrats!

    Thanks all. My first choice is the 1475 for my winter solo traveling and let them young'ins sleep in a tent WHEN they come with but i will prolly lose that battle! :ballchain: :fingerscrossed:

    Honestly, who knows what we will ultimately wind up with. :confused:

    Welcome. Congrats on the truck!

    I have owned a GTI as well. What a fun little rocket it was!

    Yes it was!! The GTI will be missed for sure. I hope I don't flip the Taco the first time I roll onto an Hwy on-ramp at the GTI speeds LOL

    Guess I'm the guy I cussed when a slow a** BUZZ KILL truck was in front of me now.

    Picked up a manual in the hopes that it will be somewhat entertaining to drive for a daily driver.

    :laugh: In the GTI I was always speeding. In the Tacoma I drive like an old man. They are about as opposite a driving experience as you can get.
