    Hey Everyone!

    I know there are a lot of people on here that are new to Tacoma's but I thought I'd throw my hat into the mix! I bought my 2015 Tacoma Access Cab 2.7L 4x2 5spd in July and I'm loving every second of it. This is my first new vehicle. I was pretty hesitant to purchase a brand new truck seeing as how I always bought used cars and just fixed them when something went wrong or broke. BUT seeing as how we're going on a lot of cross country road trips in the next several months. We need something reliable and covered with warranties and what-not. I knew I wanted a Tacoma but I was not willing to pay 20000 for a used Tacoma when i paid 22000 for a brand new one. I got it with 2 miles on it. Now (August19th) have 2100 miles on it. The purposes that I bought it for are: Towing our Teardrop, Towing the Boat, Tossing the kayaks in easily, Camping, Fishing, Hiking, Backpacking, and last but not least serving as my Daily Driver. I chose to buy the 2.7L 4x2 Access Cab because this truck has everything that I need and nothing that I don't. It is a bare-bones, reliable, comfy, a true function over fashion truck. I'm frugal and have always believed in function over fashion and I average 28 MPG commuting to work and back which rocks:headbang:. It is reliable as all get out. It will take me where ever I need to go in any weather comfortably. I've been a long time lurker here on TW but have waited to join until I actually purchased a Tacoma. I'm excited to finally be apart of the best Tacoma-Owners forum on the web! and apart of the Best mid-sized truck owners on the globe.

    Welp, Thanks for reading.
