    Hello all. Long time lurker, first time poster and great to be here! :thumbsup:

    Priorities change so back into a pick-up to tote grandkids and campers to the woods and water.

    Picked up a White TRD 4Dr SB Sport 4x4 3 pedal today and will start the camper search now that we have a TV.

    Looking at a Lance 1575 or 1475 for those weekend duties. :D

    First month of ownership... This month I'm removing front air dam, and also Rhino lining the bed.
    Welcome. The Lance 1575 looks like a great little trailer. We've been popup tent trailering for many years and just went hard sided this year. Anyway, you'll enjoy that setup, good tow weight/size for the Tacoma.

    Honestly, who knows what we will ultimately wind up with. :confused:

    Welcome. Congrats on the truck!

    I have owned a GTI as well. What a fun little rocket it was!

    Yes it was!! The GTI will be missed for sure. I hope I don't flip the Taco the first time I roll onto an Hwy on-ramp at the GTI speeds LOL

    Guess I'm the guy I cussed when a slow a** BUZZ KILL truck was in front of me now.

    Picked up a manual in the hopes that it will be somewhat entertaining to drive for a daily driver.

    :laugh: In the GTI I was always speeding. In the Tacoma I drive like an old man. They are about as opposite a driving experience as you can get.
