    Hi all - this is my 1st Tacoma. I researched them a long time before buying, and decided I wanted the PQ package that comes with the bluetooth, sat radio, subwoofer. You cannot get that package on the easy coast, only in the south or west. It was the perfect excuse to see some friends in Idaho I had not seen in a few years, flew from NJ to Salt Lake City UT, rented a little roller skate of a car, and drove it up to Idaho Falls ID. These pics were taken on the day I took delivery. The drive home took 2.5 days, but it was worth it. The dealer I deal with was wonderful, very nice people, like a little mom and pop Toyota dealer.

    Welcome to TW! You've got yourself a nice truck. Idaho Falls is a nice town. I've been there a few times on business. Normally that would be a very long trip home, but with a brand new Taco I imagine it was a nice ride...

    Wow...talk about dedication. Good luck! Did you work out something with a local dealer in case you had to bring it back for any reason? That would be my only concern with buying it long distance.

    I don't think they're standard, but you can probably find some in dealers with certain options added. When I bought mine, it came with the tube steps and roof rack.

    That sounds interesting - can previous models be retrofit with that radio? I have an 07 TRD Sport in Speedway blue and love it. Would be cool to have the bluetooth and sat radio.
