    Hey all,

    Happy to be a new Taco owner. It’s my first truck, and after owning it for a few months, I’m not sure I can ever go back to owning a car. I used to think that trucks were impractical for city/burb living… I was wrong.


    I didn’t realize how many things I couldn’t do in a hatchback that I don’t even think twice about in the truck. I’m in love. Some pictures from just the first few months of ownership… Cheers!

    Ha! At times, I wish I would have gotten a DCSB, but ultimately, I knew having a longer bed was nonnegotiable because of some upcoming remodeling projects, moves, and home depot trips. Also, the shorter cab just means I'm rarely the taxi driver... and, I'm not the one that has to sit back there!
