    2017 Black Tacoma SR Manual 4x4
    Hello,

    About a month ago my 2002 TRD Tacoma was involved in an accident and was totalled out for $9,100 by my insurance company.

    I bought it new and put 233k miles on it and I never had a major problem, it handled great in the snow so getting a new Tacoma was a no-brainer.

    So I decided I wanted to get a manual transmission this time around so I found a 2017 SR 4x4 in black and got a great deal.

    Learning to drive stick has been great and I got the hang of it pretty quickly. Still getting the hang of hill starts and downshifting and I take it out most nights after 10pm to practice.

    So far, I ordered seat covers and plan on getting a bed cover after the winter. I like the bed to fill up with snow for extra traction.

    I dont do any off-roading or haul heavy loads. Mostly my hockey bag and some firewood. I work in IT so I don't use it for work, but I just love the classic look of a compact pickup truck.

    The truck handles great and I'm excited to take good care of my 2017 and I'm looking forward to learning more about my Tacoma here.
