    I am not yet a Tacoma owner, but am strongly considering in putting one in my home.
    If anyone can give me some advice on what year, four-door or two-door, etc.
    Thank you all for all of your future help!

    how much you want to spend will determine what model you can purchase.

    • also take into consideration what you will use it for.
    • how many people do you plan on hauling around, what type of loads will you expect to carry,
    • annual weather conditions, etc.
    • what's your daily commute like, etc. etc.
    • then what features do you want.
    • then shop around. you might get a 2013 clearout sitting on a lot somewhere.
    good luck. let us know what you end up with

    A couple things to remember

    - The Tacoma has an unbelievable resale value. My 2006 is still worth around $13K

    - The Tacoma is incredibly dependable. Count on having it for as long as you want it.

    - The Tacoma is a good looking truck and a beast off road. I always get comments on how good looking my truck is.

    - Tacoma World has greatly enhanced my ownership experience.

    Good luck. It is a no brainer in my opinion.

    It all depends on your particular use for the truck. Family and lots of gear DCLB. No family and nothing to haul, Regular cab 5 lugger. Way too many options to count. What are your needs?

    Love everything about my Tacoma. Just wish it could tow more then 6500 pounds.

    I've had a regular cab and an access cab. I'd suggest getting at least the AC for the room.
    Even things like getting groceries are a little difficult in the regular cab when it's raining.
