    I knew it would happen eventually, id want to get back into a Tacoma.


    I love the Evo, but ive never loved a vehicle as much as my first Tacoma
    theres not much point to this thread lol, I just feel like I needed to tell somebody about it. ive only had the Evo for about 8 months but it just doesn't feel right. I feel more at home in a truck, even though I love going fast and racing road courses in the Evo.


    ok, endless random thought processes over for now.




    (my first Tacoma)

    Looks like fun on wheels to me !

    But the taco is a diffrent type of vehicle , can't compare it to a Evo


    Good luck with your search , I have had a few cars myself I wish I never sold . But you live and learn

    Just an update. I went and test drive a ram 1500 black edition, and it was nice, but I just felt out of place in it. It was too big for my needs and just didn't feel right. I then went to the yota dealership and sat in a '14 4x4 and all the memories flashed back and I'm sold. I'm gonna try my luck tomorrow and see where the dealership can get price wise and go from there. I did however keep my poker face and walked off the lot like a boss lol

    Good luck! I was fooling around with the idea of trading my '11 on a new '14 but in the end I think I like my 2011 better. It sounds like the Tacoma might be getting a revamp soon so I may wait and see what the new one looks like.
