    ...is that the hundreds or thousands of posts and iTrader feedback and likes and quotes from other forums mean Jack squat in a new forum. You'd think that some of the larger forum companies would find a way to crossover some relevant stats between vehicle-specific forums.

    Anyway, I'm new to this forum. My wife just picked up '16 taco and is en route back home with it as I type. She loves it, so that means I love it. I'm more of a sports car guy, but we needed a truck, and she really liked the Tacoma above any other mid size truck.

    With her blessing, I'm already shopping for mods.:spending:

    Actually, it's pretty much her truck, and has already specified she wants new wheels/tires, predator running boards, and a mesh grill. She also wants me to debadge it. I just ordered the grill last night. I'm fairly certain I'll be installing a stereo in it for her as well.

    Welcome to the forum. You're correct. Creds from other forums don't mean Jack here.
