    Hello all!
    After decades of dreaming of owning a Toyota midsized truck I finally got it! Ever since I was a teen and saw Marty Mcfly open his garage door and reveal his dream 4x4 I've wanted a Toyota truck. With finances/kids and practicality making it impossible for 20+ years I finally got my 2021 Tacoma! 20210308_191139.jpg This site has already been a huge help. Thanks to all who contribute.

    Actually, your truck is pretty much the same as my uncle’s, except his is 2WD; I forget whether his is a 2016 or a 2017...

    Looks good! You're on TW so mods are inevitable now. That being said, what will your first mods be?

    I also second the jealousy of the 2021 headlights.

    As you can tell from the photos I've changed to the pro style grill, put on nerf bars, changed out the side mirror turn signals and installed a roll up soft tonneau cover. I also blacked out the empkems on the doors and tailgate. My wallet tells me I'm done for now.

    It was definitely worth the wait! I settled for non-led headlights and regret it every time I see them!

    They are definitely sharp. And the turn signals are pretty slick. I switched over to the aftermarket led sequential signals on the mirrors and they match pretty well.
