    2018 Tacoma TRD Sport
    Hi, my name is Jason Maxwell and I'm from Northern Alabama. I bought a 2018 Tacoma TDR Sport yesterday and I love this truck. I haven't had a new vehicle in 23 years and 2 years ago I was broke as a convict and working at a mattress store. Through a lot of hard work I got my dream job in IT for a large steel mill. After paying off old debt and getting back on my feet financially I was finally ready for a new car. I looked and researched for 6 months and fell in love with the Tacoma and the Taco community and the prospect of Overland camping.
    I had a great experience at the Dealership. Gave me a low out the door price and found the color I wanted in another state and had it washed and ready when I arrived at the dealership.
    Thanks for having me in yall's community.
