    Hi All, I'm a 73 year old female from Vermont who just purchased a 2023 TRD PRO manual. My first Yota was a 2004 SR5. I had farm animals then and this truck took excellent care of me for 14 years. I was sorry for her demise. I had wanted another Tacoma ever since then and this fall the Fates took a liking to me. I found a '23 TRD PRO with 7k miles on it, manual and in black. Hubs and I traveled out of state to purchase this.

    I must say after driving a Subaru for 7 years this truck is ENORMOUS! A hood as big as a dining room table! But I love her and I'm getting used to the change in size. I've lurked a little and see that I can learn all sorts of things from my Tacoma friends. Happy to be here!

    Nice!
    I would recommend treating the frame and underneath areas with a product like Fluid Film ,Woolwax or a similar product to protect from the salt corrosion.
    There's a few members on the regional NE threads that provide this service to members.:thumbsup:

    You wouldn’t happen to want to adopt an overweight 62 year old male?
