    Daily Driver...2010 DC short bed TRD Sport. 36,000 miles in fifteen months. Still on the original Bridgestone's (I should get another 15M+). Milage is 20+ on the road.

    I retire in nine months and I expect to hold on to the truck until it's got at least 300,000 miles on it. I get onto forest service roads and get into 4X4 a few times a year...nothing too serious.

    ditching the stock mirrors and exhaust did wonders for that.

    Daily driver....only vehicle now. Had a 04 expedition and 09 ranger and consolidated to a 2011 Tacoma 4x 4door with 4.0L engine. Added firestone air bags to rear suspension and seems to make it drive better. Milage puts it right in between my other two vehicles so should even out in the long run. My first Toyota truck. Had a couple corollas in Japan and a Celica when I got back to the states. Wife has a 05 Solara and we both really like the car. Would like to get a gen 1 truck to play with and take it out off road. Can't afford to beat the new one up....yet

    Both my daily driving hard working work truck and my offroading pal.
    Not too heavy on the offroading though. Mainly to out of the way camping and fishing spots here in the mountains.

    Mine is my DD. I do little mods to make things more enjoyable on the pavement and off. I'm taking it for a long road trip in a week and a half for the first time and I am excited.
