    Hi everyone! I am a new Taco owner living in Charlottesville, VA and figured I would go ahead and introduce myself. I just bought a 2018 Tacoma TRD Off Road with a manual transmission and I've been loving it! While I grew up off roading, it was always with friend's or family's rigs/ATVs and this is the first truly off road capable truck I've owned. I kept using Google to find answers to questions about how best to utilize my new Tacoma and all it's capabilities and Tacoma World was almost always the top search result so I figured I'd join since I was coming here on a near daily basis. Thanks for all the valuable information that's contained here. Tacoma World has quickly become one of the best new assets I've stumbled upon.

    Welcome to TW, I'm also a new Taco owner as of June. I'm in Fredericksburg and would love to find a group or join a meet up for something a stock TRD Sport could handle. I haven't completed any mods at this point but would like to see what a stock version can do..
