    Hey all, new Toyota guy here from North Carolina (converted by the new wife :D). Just purchased a 2012 Super White DCSB Prerunner SR5. I now know why all you Toyota folks are so diehard; what an awesome truck.

    This is the third new vehicle ive owned, and by far the best of them all. I had a 2004 Xterra (which just wasnt for me) and traded it on a 2004 Crew Cab Titan. Lifted the Titan 6" and ran 35" Mud Grapplers on it...it was nice, but it loved the gas, and with only 40k miles on it, my dash looked like a Christmas tree with all the lights popping up on it. The fit and finish on the inside of the Nissan trucks have nothing on the Toyota. You could see everywhere that Nissan cut corners, from the cheap seat fabric to barely cutting the carpet long enough to just fit. Ill never look back to Nissan again, truck wise (Still have an 09 Maxima and its a great car)

    Like i said, my wife is diehard Toyota...Had a 97 4runner for years, then a 2010 Tundra (Yeah, she is awesome)..and now we have to decide who gets to drive the Tacoma daily...

    Well I have blabbed enough, esp. for an introduction. I look forward to learning how to mod this truck from yall...

    And the only pic I have is before I drove her off the lot, so take a look at another stock 2012! :cool:

    Welcome,
    Good choice white will always better than any other color several years from now if you keep it , very hard to see the lite scratches in the clear coat that every truck will get over time compared to a darker color.
