    You will love it. Bought mine back in April, 4x4 e locker white. 2 weeks later I lifted it on 5100's so not much experience on stock suspension but i am super pleased with the drivability of the 5100's both on and off. The truck def has a luxury feel to me. (my other car is a 99 civic) I dont regret the purchase one bit. I have noticed that im starting to get better mpg, took ~2k miles i guess to break it in. just this weekend got 20mpg on the highway through mountain pases.

    Welcome to TW from South Florida!!

    :oldglory:

    Only advice I have is to save as much cash as you can before you get the Tacoma...there's this thing called the "mod bug" that goes around here...you can easily drop a few grand into a perfectly good brand new truck making it "unique".

    Save the money and get a loaded sr5 or sport 4x4'if you're just going to change the suspension out. Wish I had done that with my 2012...

    Yeah I think it was like a $4000 difference between the two but I just had to have the offroad. Dont get me wrong I love my truck but I coulda saved some money in the long run considering I hadnt taken it offroad once before changing suspension.
