    Hi Tacomaworld!
    I have been visiting the site for three months since I totaled my Pathfinder (no one hurt) and have been looking for a Tacoma. The forum has already helped me decide on exactly what I wanted. I had been saving for a Tacoma for a year before I wrecked the old vehicle, and that just sealed my being in the market, as it were.

    I finally got a truck yesterday. A 2012 Tacoma DCSB v6 Prerunner SR5 Pyrite Mica with tow package, running boards, backup camera, and it looks like new except for a few tiny scratches that I would have put on it in a month anyway.

    I am blown away at how nice the Tacoma is! I drove it 1.5 hours on Interstates and a few side roads to get it home and it drives like a Cadillac compared to my Pathfinder. These are just a few pics from the dealership. Will post more when I get the Camper Shell and a few other things I need for it. Looking forward to pulling my boat to the Keys and camping around Florida.
