    Hey!

    Been lurking on this forum for a while and finally ready to get my first Tacoma. I prefer the 2015 body style to the 2016 so I think I'll go with one of those. Seen a few that I like at the stealerships and hoping to get a good deal with the new ones coming out soon.

    Lots of great info and pics on here, love reading through and seeing things I will want on my new truck!

    Welcome. I am very happy with my choice to get a good deal on a 2015 a few weeks ago instead of waiting for 2016. Only thing that had me considering waiting for 16 was the better mpg, but since I prefer the look of the 15 and didn't have to haggle for the deal I wanted, I snatched up a 15 and no regrets. These trucks are in high demands and the dealers know it.

    So I picked up a sweet Barcelona red (which I wasn't considering until I saw it) Sport with towing package for 32k. Had running boards and a bed extender. Super happy. Will add TRD wheels at some stage, along with other mods ;)
