    Hey all,

    Currently on my 3rd Tacoma now and finally decided to bite the bullet and make an account after years of knowing this place existed.

    My previous trucks were:
    1999 Tacoma Limited Xtracab 4WD. It was a phenomenal truck but when my brother went to trade it in for a 2007 thats when they found out the odometer was rolled back among some other issues so I helped him out by buying it off him so he could get his 07. After 5 years of use the domino effect started happening and one issue led to another and decided to sell it. (still kind of regret it to this day, would have been an awesome trail truck)

    2008 Tacoma DCLB 4x4.
    Bought it used at 4 years old with a whopping 47,000km on it so it was very well maintained and taken care of. Had an awesome 7 years with the truck and when the 3rd gens came out I really wanted to upgrade but kept holding off and with all the new tech upgrades for 2020 I decided now was the time and traded in my 2008 (at 143,000km) on Dec 13th I picked up a...


    2020 TRD Sport Premium. I'm a little over 500km into it and absolutely loving every bit of it, for a $50k purchase I'm surprised there's no buyers remorse feeling. The ride and everything is better then I could have imagined, and now having a modern interior definitely helps. Now to hold off on the urge to mod the truck right away.
