    2017 Tacoma SR5
    After lots of research and deliberation, I jumped in and bought a 2017 Tacoma. Was supposed to be a clearance 16 but after several dealers "oopsies" I ended up getting the 17 for the same price. It is an SR5, 4x4 with several add-ons from the dealer, including remote starter. So far it is very nice and I am loving it. Plan to do a few minor things. Some inserts, the BakFlip Fibermax bed cover, a Pop&Lock tailgate lock.

    Dealer included:
    All weather floor mats
    Cast Aluminum running boards
    TRD Exhaust tip
    Remote start

    Nice truck man, welcome to the Tacoma family. Fair warning the more time you spend on this site the more money you're going to want to spend on your truck :thumbsup:

    Nice choice in color & specification, I am no doubt bias as I have the same.
    As mentioned don't read to much in to all of the drama, maybe your truck may have some issues, most likely it will not unless you convince yourself it does. My brother is a major league hypochondriac, he's been on his death bead for 20 years so far.
