    2018 MGM Tacoma TRD Offroad 4x4
    What's up TacomaWorld, or howzit where I'm from. I just bought my first Toyota and it's a 2018 Tacoma TRD Offroad 4x4 in the beautiful magnetic grey. I decided to nickname my truck MgTaco (Mg = magnetic grey, Taco because Tacoma).

    My family always owned Nissans and I almost bought a Frontier pro 4x because of it. However, Tacomas and 4runners are really popular in Hawaii and I wanted to be part of a community that has a lot of support...and so here I am. This is my first truck and I'm super excited to explore and go to places I couldn't go to before.

    Hawaii's landscape is amazing. I'm from the Big Island (Hawaii island). I live about an hour away from the current Kilauea volcanic eruption. I can drive for about 2 hours and I'll be on top one of the tallest mountains in the world.

    We have snow on top two of our tallest mountains/volcanoes on Hawaii island every year.

    This is my view on the way home every night for the last 2 months since the Kilauea eruption in May.
