    2nd post on Tacomaworld. Super stoked to announce I have placed an order for my first Tacoma. If all go's smoothly I will have a 2016 MGM DCSB TRD Off Road with 6 spd manual parked in my garage in 6-8 weeks. My Tacoma will be a daily driver/overlandish/hunting/fishing truck. Likely to have a lift kit and tires/rims impatiently waiting in my garage for delivery. Ahhhhh I cant wait.

    I second this... there is indeed a wealth of good information on here. Keep an open mind on negative posts, reading too much in to them will not give you an accurate picture of what it s like to own a Tacoma. They are AWESOME trucks!

    I notice you are in AZ........ Jealous! My wife and i LOVE the west! TONS of places for Tacoma fun!

    I really enjoyed my 4-6 week wait, browsing pictures, reading the posts on TW, and collecting a few parts to install after the truck arrived. I think I was more satisfied with my decision after that. Congratulations on your order!

    I really enjoy mine. I have a issue I need resolved, but once it is I will be 100 percent happy.

    Had another issue also which was taken care of with no problems. Both I believe are production related, not engineered. Besides what would be the other option? A colorado? Don't think so.

    Came from a 2005 tundra 4.7 liter v8 access cab. The engine was powerfull and smooth as butter. I miss that truck, but would never want it back. The v6 is adequate and 4wd is phenomenal in snow, ice, and midwest winter conditions.

    Alright, Shaun, sorry to break it to you, but there's a new member of the female persuasion who just posted for the first time, so you can expect the traffic on your thread to plummet like the gears of '16 A/T going uphill.
