    Still thinking about it.
    Welcome, Brian. Tacomas are tough and reliable. That’s the starting point. Some people make them better, some people make them worse but it’s all good fun.

    The awesomeness is limited only by the size of your savings account.
    They are tough, reliable, and there is a insane amount of aftermarket stuff for them.

    Welcome to TW! Tacoma's are awesome. I came from a 1995 Ford Ranger. Before that a 1985 Isuzu pup. The Tacoma has been the best of the 3. They are quality trucks and love the support and community around them.

    Tacoma truck are the only thing my family drives. They are overbuilt and underpowered. You can literally mod anything, just depends on the depth of your pockets :)

    Nice truck, I have an 03 DC same color only mines a limited edition with a bunch of chrome accents and TRD model. I'm keeping mine stock since I think it will keep it's value better, and less stuff to break.
