    *disclaimer, I am more of a car guy than truck guy so please bear with me:D*

    Hello my name is Trevor,

    I had gotten a 2015 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road edition while my Scion FR-S was having it's transmission replaced under warranty due to a sound it was making. Anyways I was with the Girlfriend when we picked up the Tacoma as our rental-car for the weekend. Excited, she wanted to drive the truck home, she drives a 1966 ford bronco so she likes trucks in general more than I do. The next morning we woke up nice and early to go out for a drive with the FRS group. I'm a very active member in the Northern California FRS/BRZ/86 group and I was already dedicated to show up for this drive wether it be in the FRS or not. I ended up taking the Tacoma through the twisty turns of the road we were driving and all I can say is I am SUPER IMPRESSED by this truck!! I work in an industry where we have a lot of bigger trucks that sometimes I need to deliver to jobsites and they range from F150s to F350 super dutys. This Tacoma is on a whole another level. When you drive it, it doesn't feel like a truck. It feels light, and nimble. The steering felt nice (for a truck) and I was just dumbfounded how this truck handled a nice curvy road. Honestly handled better than any mustang I had driven, and this is a truck! This truck is so comfortable, it's a nice size, plenty of cabin space, and rides very nice. If I was in a better financial situation I would buy a Tacoma just so it can become my daily driver so I don't have to put so many miles on my FR-S.

    I just wanted to share my experience with this truck being as I only get to have it for a couple more days until my FR-S is done. I really don't want to give it back:D

    Yeah we took the truck a little bit of offroading, the road we were driving on had some turn offs and we took the truck through there just to see how it did and through some puddles as well :)

    She won't sell the bronco for the world. It's an all original 66 bronco that her and her dad completely rebuilt after her grandfather (the original owner) died.
