    2019 TRD Off Road
    Hello Tacoma World!

    Hello from Pittsburgh PA. Just purchased my new TRD Off Road DCLB last week and looking forward to making it mine. It has been some time since I had a truck so I am looking forward to many years of operating this Tacoma, both on and off road. My last truck was a 02 Toyota Tundra which I loved and only gave up because my (at the time young) family convinced me to sale. Now my family has grown older (although I love them I am looking forward to the day when they get out of the house), I have gotten older, and a recent health scare / issue convinced me that although I need to plan for the future, I must live for today so I went and bought a new truck. I do not really like to go "off road" after having spent some time in the Army riding M1A1, M60A3, jeeps and hummers, but I spend a lot of time kayaking so having a off road 4wd vehicle is essential for getting to the rivers in PA, WV, and MD, particularly in the winter when the rivers are running high. So far the Tacoma seems a worthy replacement for the Tundra, although I must say the 4.7L V8 and transmission in the Tundra was probably the best engine / transmission combination I have ever driven.

    Yeah it is nice to see more and more. Maybe @MidnightRebel07 won't be eating DB's by himself for too much longer.

    Definitely go to the PA thread. Lots of great guys and gals with tons of knowledge and willing to help with whatever they can!!
