    Hello Taco world! Last month I bought my 3rd gen Taco, without researching how cool these trucks are, I jumped into purchasing a 2022 SR5 2wd Tacoma. This truck would be a family truck since my kids are starting to play a lot of sports and my current Daily is not supporting it (2011 e92 M3) :). A week after researching Tacomas and few more videos from Tacoma Lifestyle and TacomaBeast I realized that these trucks are heavily used in overlanding, off roading, rock crawling etc., and can be really really looking good pick up trucks! So without regrets of buying a 2wd, since I have no plan on overlanding and rock crawling I started covering the chrome Tacoma's with a matte black layover and after 2 weeks it now look like it can run through mud (maybe) and take a beating in overlanding (maybe not) but sadly she can only look the part:rofl:. For what I bought it and will use it for, she looks great and love it!
