    Just bought myself a '13 Tacoma. Just picked it up last week! Great truck! It's a TRD 4x4. Loaded. Navi and all.

    Is will be my first time owning a Toyota product. I've heard excellent things from about these trucks! I hope my experience brings the same!

    Agreed. I've lived on both ends of this state and I definitely prefer it where I grew up! Right here in the Bay Area! :cool:

    Well first thing is to either remove or cut the front mud flaps. Those things are ridiculously long!

    I'm strongly debating switching out these bf goodrich's for something nicer. I'll have to do some research to see if I wanna do a lift though, before I commit myself to buying tires.

    A bunch of the guys around our department have Taco's as well; so I'm in good company. I keep finding myself just driving it for the sake of driving it! :D

    Yeah I was going to go for another full size truck. Probably an F250 4x4 diesel. But I just wanted something that was easier to park, but still able to put in a good days work. Parking in the big city is no fun in a full size. I figure I don't tow enough to justify all that extra truck.

    These trucks seem to be extremely reliable from everyone I've talked it's who's owned one. I'm looking forward to putting a couple hundred thousand miles on her! :D
