    I am a first time Taco owner. I traded my '04 F250 for a brand new '15 TRD off-road. Main reason was I wanted something smaller and more economical. Initial cosmetic upgrades include window deflectors, running boards, "Rino" liner, and maybe a matching camper shell.

    Primary use will be a daily and trip commuter vehicle. Off-road use will be limited to secondary roads only.

    So far I am really enjoying it, although it has a very annoying noise that comes from window seals when operating at speed combined with a strong crosswind. I am hoping the window deflectors help.

    Look froward to sharing and learning more about Taco's

    its what we NOT so lovingly call those tires........the "rugged trails" usually dry rot within 20K miles, crack like a mother, and suck IMHO in anything but perfect conditions.

    Thanks about the tire info, I will add them to the list. One of the things I am trying to decide is chrome accessories to match rims or swap rims and go black

    That's personal, but fwiw I like how black and red compliment each other.
