    2017 Tacoma TRD off road magnetic gray
    Hello, I just bought a 2017 Tacoma TRD off road in magnetic gray early November. My previous vehicle was a 2014 Scion tC; therefore, this is my first pick up truck and my second vehicle. My taco has 2600 miles on her and she runs great. A lot of folks complained about the transmission but she shifts just fine for me and has decent power. My previous car was a manual but I bought my taco in an automatic because I wanted the crawl control and MTS features.

    I live in West Virginia and I am 24 years old. I joined to see the great things everyone is doing to their tacomas and I am planning on lifting mine and buying better off road tires and black TRD wheels for mine. Let me know your insights.

    Welcome to TW. That $3k plan will rather quickly turn into $5k

    $5k Turns into $10k and then living in the truck so you can put the rent money towards mods... soon you're selling a kidney and running coke across the border to fund LEDs and Kings.

    Either that or I end up draining my savings account and maxing out all my credit cards to finance the $10k worth of mods. Eww. i am trying really hard not to spend all my money. Lol!
