    Happy day today, picked up my first taco. My dealership was great, and I feel like part of the Toyota family. I came from a Frontier here a few things I noticed immediately. The taco has presence and feels like a full size compared to the Frontier. Breaking seems to take more effort (damn those drums) and the Frontier 4.0 feels faster. The taco handles much better than the Frontier. The suspension on the Frontier is a joke compared to the taco, amazing feel on taco. Fit and finish hands down the taco.
    I’m really excited to own this truck and hopefully after proper break in I’ll see how the 3.5 stacks up to nissans 4.0. Can’t wait to get it on the trails. Lastly I absolutely love the color, it’s polarizing, it’s a love or hate color.
    Enjoy the pics

    Very Nice Truck, Congrats! I also like the feel and finish of the 3rd Gen. When your comfortable you will find the 3.5 will move along quite well in the top end. This engine makes it's power on the higher end, reminds me of the power band of the dirt bikes. It is cool when your walking around the dealer lot and see the one that grabs you. You know that's the one! Enjoy!
