    Hello. New tacoma owner here. I researched and shopped around for about a year and finally decided on a new 2017 MGM Double Cab Off Road non P/T with a manual transmission. I read a lot on this forum which was a tremendous help in my decision. (Thanks TW!) I’ve only put a few hundred miles on but I’m super stoked so far! Im coming from an XJ, so the size and drive ability is fairly comparable. It’s probably gonna stay in stock form for a while, although I do have some things in mind like 265/75’s, seat covers, toolbox, and some sort of bed rack for kayaks/canoes and such. The manual is a blast to drive and I’m surprisingly pleased with the power even though the 3.5 has a bit of a weak reputation. Anyhow I look forward to being a member here and a part of the Tacoma family!!

    Same here. Had one pop up at my local dealer early in my search but I wasn’t ready to buy just yet. When I was finally ready there were none to be had around here that met my criteria. Had to have mine brought in from Alabama(I’m in Central Fl). Glad I held out, got exactly what I was after!
