    Nice! What'd you think of it? How many did that dealership have?

    I was up at my dealership picking up my bed mat today and they didn't have any Tacoma's at all.

    I need to see a White Dbl Cab, Long Bed with the Sport. Caught a glimpse on the transporter pic, but I need to see the whole thing unobstructed.

    Thats all I want...the damn interior! They are using the new 4-runner style steering wheel and I love that steering wheel...it's more comfortable to hold IMO than the Taco! I love driving my wifes 4-runner because of it!

    They look identical to my 2011 gauges...but I haven't seen the 2012 in person in yet.

    Good till I took a pressure washer to it and peeled it off like a fucking orange.


    Granted this was an industrial pressure washer that you could use to bore a hole in the side of your door if you wanted to.

    Yes I ended my sentence with a preposition. Bite my hairy ass.

    Nice to see real pics finally. Even though I dig the new 4Runner I don't care for that steering wheel compared to the Tacoma. Are the HVAC controls the same as before? When I had a Scion tC I liked the rheostat type controls.

    No lust here for the 2012s. I'll keep my 09 MGM until the 3rd gen is several years into production at least.

    I didn't have it in my '07 either, though.

    The truck looked really nice in person. The dealership only had this one. The entune system looked really nice as well and the back-up camera shows on that screen and the temp gauge and compas is in the rear view mirror.

    They took out the switch but the seat has a 60 pound sensor that turns on the airbag if you weigh more than 60 pounds.

    Maybe it's an Access/Regular cab thing, then?

    Both of my 2nd gens have been DC's so that could be part of it.

    I believe the airbag switch is only on 4x4 TRD OR models. Maybe Prerunner OR as well.
    Not sure about the AC vs DBL cabs.

    Was it a pre-runner or 4x?

    I'm leaning more towards the cab-type - possibly due to car seat safety.
