    Hello, I am a new member of the forum and a new Tacoma owner, having purchased my truck about 10 days ago. I have a 2009 4WD 5spd 2.7L 4cyl, mica green w/ gray interior. It is completely stock. My wife and I have been driving Toyotas for about 34 years, this is my first Toyota truck. I bought a Cherokee in 88, because at the time it was the only 4WD that could shift into 4WD on the fly. I am glad that changed, and am delighted with my Tacoma. I am currently in communication with the dealership as I am one of those lucky ones with the flakey radio problem, but that hasn't diminished my enthusiasm for the truck itself.

    -Charlie

    That's pretty cool, right away I find the answer here to my first question on how to get another set of D rings closer to the front of the bed. I like this! And, I wonder why on earth it didn't occur to Toyota to put a set there in the first place.
