    After 7 yrs. of test driving pickup trucks, I finally did it.. I bought a '12 tacoma 4x4 v6 four door spruce mica truck.. I love it.

    We got some funny responses over it.

    Walking into the dealerships... the salespeople would talk to my husband and his response was "don't talk to me... talk to my wife".

    At his workplace, he has told a few people and they respond with "what does she need a truck for?".

    How many ladies out there are driving a TACO?

    I just bought an 09 two weeks ago and now my wife wants to get rid of her crv and get a black double cab. She wanted one when she got out of college but her mom told her she'd never find a guy if she was driving a truck. Congrats on the new truck!

    Thank you! The color is amazing.. Love it. Happens to be my fav color too (Green). It looks like an army green with flecks of gold and it's even more amazing when the sun hits it... Haven't seen another one like it.

    Congratulations. I was told at one dealer to consider a Prius, "lots of women love the Prius," "do you really need a big truck?" etc.

    So I went to a different dealership. :)

    Enjoy!!
