    Hi All,
    Finally got the Tacoma! I've been visiting this forum for months waiting 'til I could finally pick up
    a Tacoma. Wife and I test drove a White SR5 first. Thinking that's all we needed. She wasn't too impressed with the White and really wanted silver. T he only silver SR5 DCLB 4x4 they had was already sold. They had a sliver DCLB 4x4 Off Road. Wife loved the silver. Test drive and it was done. Picked it up yesterday. 100 mile trip home averaged 22.9 mpg! Drives so smooth.....

    Anything that follows me home I'm either beating the $hit out of it, or putting a ring on it.

    Nice truck, love the DCLB :bananadance:

    Did you get the tech package on it? I could care less about the moonroof, but that blind spot monitoring is extremely useful in traffic. It's saved me from about 4 wrecks so far.
