    After having nine cars across almost three decades of driving... all manual transmissions and the last four being sports cars... I just bought a used 2016 Tacoma w/automatic. Wish me luck!

    Good luck and welcome aboard ! A used 2016, did someone trade it in on a 2017 or what? Which model is yours
    I have a 2016 SR5 4x4 access cab with the 2.7 4-cyl and love it so far, just turned over 6500 miles. You will love the forum here, so much great information and you will get many ideas of things you'll want to do to your truck from seeing the many truck pics on here. Be forewarned ... it can be addictive

    Thanks everyone for the welcome!

    Yeah, a used 2016 Limited 4x4 with just under 4000 miles. It appears to have started life in Nevada and was definitely used as a truck that hauled stuff, got dirty and scratched up. I found wood chips and lava rocks bits in the bed... and traces of dessert dirt all around in the cracks, creases and underside. VIN report shows that it ended up at a Ford dealership two months after the initial purchase... owner likely bought a bigger truck. From there it must have been auctioned off as there's no other records until it ended up in SoCal.
