    Hey everyone, I was born and raised in San Diego CA and just bought my first Tacoma two days ago from Toyota of El Cajon. Eight years ago I was looking to buy a used Tacoma and ended up with a 2005 Tundra. I am currently selling my 2012 Lexus IS 250. As you can see I am no stranger to Toyota cars and trucks, I have a hard time buying anything else. I must say that only two days with my Taco that I LOVE it. It feels like a mans truck with luxurious features that drives like a car. I ended up with the 2016 Tacoma TRD Sport 4x4 Double Cab short bed, super white with the graphite interior. I have been waiting to buy a GoPro and now with the windshield mount I will be purchasing one very soon. I have attached some pics of the truck at the dealer before I actually bought the truck! I am excited to be apart of the community and I can't wait to see all the mods for this baby!

    Is your tacoma a replacement for your tundra or are you selling you is250 to keep this? I'm just curious!.. I had a Honda Accord and jumped in on a Tacoma, some days, i still miss having a Sedan with great gas mileage and smaller vehicle to drive around.

    I'm selling the is250 to help pay for the Tacoma. When I had my Tundra I had a Honda Civic to save on gas. In the future I might buy another gas saver but having both vehicles right now is too much.
