    Well after 6 months of reading thousands of posts, some insightful, some written by men needing serious psychiatric intervention, I got my Tacoma today! This truck was a unicorn to find in my region. I put down a deposit to hold it 24 hours till I could make the 3 hour drive to the dealership and 5 people tried to swoop it.

    2018 Off road, premium package; I love the leather and JBL. Just drove it back home over highway 80 West with the snow-crested Sierra Mountains in full view. Can’t believe it’s finally sitting in my driveway.

    To the thorough reviewer, to the narcissistic Taco know it all, to the over-analytical-uneven-tempered flamer, to the lovers and dreamers like me....thank you. Your crazy theories, conspiracies, and love affair with this little truck got me here.

    Cheers!

    Papadave418

    Ps- bought my first mod last week before even buying the truck, my @SCSPerformance Ray 10’s. Good Lord I’m one of you now.....

    Edit- made my first very important mod yesterday to enhance the off road ability...

    I was able to get my truck in the backyard so that my neighbors don’t see my buttcrack hanging out while I work on my truck. Pop&lock and grille will go on today

    Now it looks like this loaded up

    I'm not too far behind you... I don't even have my Tacoma yet and I've got an excel spreadsheet listing what I want done, part #'s, prices at 4 different locations, and literally, which order I think I will be doing them.
    I plan on getting the RD Sport 4x4 in Blazing Blue Pearl. Mod vids on YouTube are addicting at this point. I am being assimilated without resistance...

    I would imagine it's the premium package. There hasn't even been one in my area for me to look at. And there are ton sold around here.

    He lives in a place where they mostly drive VW Beetles, Fiats and and Chevy Sonics....
    Probably the 4x4OR, many places only sell 2wd models.

    It’s a DCSB OR with premium, and silver sky. There isn’t another one for sale when I searched a 500 mile radius

    I’m down 99 in Ripon from you and the only one I found to test drive was a cement long bed. Nothing against the cement guys, but what looks trendy right now I was afraid would just look...ummm gray to me in 3 years

    I’ve owned about 25 vehicles in my life and leather I gotta have, even for off roading. Just cleans up so much easier than cloth. Doesn’t hold stains as much or smells. I’ve learned the almighty power of a baby wipe and leather. Just don’t tear it!

    Oh and not so many fiats, but WHAT I CAN’T STAND ARE THE PRIUS DRIVERS!

    Save the earth in the slow lane!!
