    Welp, I think I totaled my Tacoma on Sunday. I’m pretty positive I want another. My issue is this. It took me months to find my exact truck the first time, I don’t have that luxury this time. I had a 17 sport 4x4 MT. With every package.

    I am fairly certain I won’t be able to find a 17 or 18 with the exact configuration easily, and a decent price.

    I’m thinking I will need to get an AT because that was the hard part. Not sure if there are any 17’s available or will have to get an 18.

    WHAT TO DO?

    Well I’m not getting into another MT AT debate, but it would be good to see pics just out of curiousity. Sorry about the truck.

    Btw, if it is totaled, you may be able to buy it back if you really like it and don’t mind fixing

    For the record. I absolutely loved the MT and am terrified I won’t like the AT.

    Have you searched for what you want? There seems to be a fair amount of 2018's in inventory. The MT might make it a bit harder to find though.

    Had a truck of 4. Worst Injury is an arm burn from the air bag. We have some soreness but all walked away no problem. Impact was about 40mph I’m guessing.

    Looks totaled. Glad everyone's mostly ok. I'd stick with the MT if you loved it.
