    Finally sold my 300 and came home with the tacoma.
    So far I love it. I'm big on home remodeling so it's stupid I didn't have a truck 10 years ago.. .Now I know !

    I'm in the greater Seattle Area..(renton if you're local)

    I've spent nothing on the truck yet, but step 1 is AUDIO because stock deck makes me sick to my stomach.

    i'm not a big performance mod guy, but I like looks and stereo..
    I'm also interested in learning towing solutions as I ride a honda vtx 1300 as well and want to be able to quickly jam that thing to the shop when necessary and not have to get a ride from friends.
    I've spent a lot of time in this forum already, it's pretty active which is why I chose it.

    The truck is pretty bland ( for now :) )

    This is the car I sold.. I do miss it, but don't miss swerving to avoid potholes and going 1/2 mph over speed bumps..

    Excellent decision.

    Is that a real picture of the old car? It looks like a freaking video game.

    You won't regret it. I owned a 300 and from 30,000 miles to 40,000 I spent $6,500 out of my own pocket for repairs. If it could break, it did: 2 window lifts, transmission hydraulic failure, a/c failure, steering gear....I could go on and on. I will NEVER own a Chrysler product again, nor anything else from Detroit most likely. Chrysler totally destroyed my confidence in US vehicle mechanical integrity.

    Lol, you are so right about that picture ! It is 1 the best auto picture I have. I sold the condo that the 300 is parked in front of. So when the condo was being photographed (by a pro) for marketing he snuck out side and tickled my ego by taking a pic of my then baby.. That is a Real picture, and it looks even better when it's not resized.

    But enough about that 300 :) ! I feel some urge to spend money on the truck !

    Bland...but it does not break down or fail you (like your Gangsta 300!)

    I admit the 300 was urban-ized but ( imho ) you have to with those rides... They scream for mods and I was in the 300 forums as well.. I love forums, so helpful so interesting.

    Lol, I feel like more of a man owning this truck ...
    I just want to put something heavy in it, or run something over like right now ..

    I also want to touch(as in mod/install) this truck myself more... right now I feel like I don't know how to use it to full advantage but I will learn over time as necessity forces me to figure it all out.
