Hi All, New Member

Good Evening Everyone,

My name is Park and I just joined. Purchased my first Tacoma about two weeks ago. 2015 Tacoma TRD Off Road in Pyrite. Exact truck I've wanted for a very long time.

I also have my first vehicle a 2003 Chevrolet S-10. I wanted a Tacoma forever and then when the new Colorado was released I wanted one of them thinking it would be like my beloved S-10 which has been nothing but dependable. Once I finally was ready to purchase and began looking after my first Colorado test drive I knew it wasn't for me... I then went thinking to try the Canyon although its the same thing as the Colorado and I did not like it. I found them cramped, too car like, slow, and absolutely hated how the bed went up in the back.

I then said I'm going to find a lightly used 2012-2015... About three weeks later I fortunately was blessed to find my truck which is the exact configuration I wanted with 7,092 miles on it about an hour away and made a deal with the dealership. I was happy with as I did not want a 2016 because I don't trust that engine in its first year.

I attached a picture of it the day after I bought it. I've now added a Tonneau Cover (as of tomorrow), Running Boards, and chrome door handles but I love it!!

I've been a reader for years so thanks for all the content I've been able to read. I come from a Toyota Family and have used your resources to help my Dad out many times, he has owned a 1988 Xtra Cab which was replaced with a 2003 Extended Cab TRD (now at 161k) and then he purchased a 2012 Extended Cab TRD OR to replace the worst car I've ever seen, piece of crap Nissan Frontier NISMO my mother had.

 

Congrats and welcome!

 

Welcome Park.

 

Nice truck! Welcome to TW.

 

Welcome!

 

Thanks for the welcomes everybody!

I'm enjoying reading threads and looking at everyones pictures, some awesome trucks!

 

Welcome. I have the same exact truck, and a beloved S10 a few years back. Miss that guy, but the new truck is perfect in every way.

 

Nice!!! Everyone keeps asking if I'm going to get rid of the S-10 but it has a lot of sentimental value as well as its the perfect work truck for me. The S-10 is great when its just me but being a regular cab its tough having someone in it with you when you need to haul stuff in the cab too.

The to be-Mrs. has a Dodge Dakota and a Mercury Sable. In which one is getting sold before the wedding.
