    Yeah, I’m not even gonna push back because you’re probably right on all counts. It’s like you already know me. :D Ha!
    But I’ll enjoy the improved mileage while I can…
    I guess after adding all that stuff, I’ll gonna need a tune also. I can see the dollars sprouting wings and flying from my wallet as I write this.

    I wanted the TRD Sport...liked the Hood Scoop and the 17" wheels. It was priced below my threshold ($40K) with the floor mats package ($38,803). I love it as my first new Truck! (I had an older used Isuzu Pup in 2003)

    As a youngster washing my parents 80s Black Cutlass Supreme Brougham with red pinstripes and red interior got me liking black. They let me drive it to Prom which was cool back in 1985. Yes, I'm in my 50s!

    You can't go wrong with any color Tacoma but it's all about preference.

    Very nice! Congrats!
    It's funny though, for all the advantages you mentioned about downsizing, I feel the opposite because I went from a Mini Cooper to a Tacoma. Mine feels HUGE by comparison! I still have problems fitting properly into parking spaces.

    Since the dealership is close to my house, I test drove a Tacoma straight to my house to see how it fits before I committed... there's plenty of room but it's close enough that my wife said, "we wouldn't want the long bed!"

    As for power... it's all a matter of what you need it to do. Uhaul doesn't offer a trailer that's rated to carry more than the truck is rated to tow, and that's plenty for my needs.

    I guess everything is relative! In comparison with a Mini, I suppose it seems that someone shrunk the parking lot when you weren’t looking. :rofl:

    Pretty much! But before the Mini, I had a Smart car, talk about tiny!
