    Just wanted to introduce myself. I just bought my first "new" Tacoma couple days ago. A few years ago I bought a 2004 Tundra step side. Miss that truck, so to get out from underneath my upside down Challenger and needed a truck, I bought the Tacoma. Loved the challenger just wasn't practical for me and the depreciation is horrendous on dodge. I needed a truck! Would have loved to get a TRD Sport or 4x4 but my budget wouldn't allow it since I was adding $8000 in negative equity from the challenger and a previous car! So...a nicely equipped SR5 did the trick.

    yes, I thought about that and getting the sport hood to replace the SR5 Hood. that's about the only difference really.
