Just saying hi,looking forward to annoying you with tech questions.

 

Hi there and welcome to TW!!!! Enjoy the wealth of knowledge here. Be sure to check out the Mods/Tutorials tab at the top. Lots of great info packed into one place.

 

I have a used Taco 117k miles,leaking valve cover bad blower resistor,and some valve the dealer wont give details about.
Faded hood paint,no major dents.
Picked her up cheap.
Sold my 2010 Titan 4x4 to buy the Tacoma.The Titans 13 mpg and driving 200 miles per day I decided to downsize.

I expect 25mpg
I join a fourm for every vehicle i owned.
Dealer was gonna change the blower controler,I told them its the resistor.
They guessed what issue was.

Im already looking for bucket seats.
Are the tires and tims pictured factory,its a base model.

 

I pick the truck up tomorrow after repairs are made,They were asking $7000.
I got it cheaper than that plus a 36k mile warrenty on all major components.

 

Welcome!

 

Welcome to Tacoma World!

 

Welcome to TW!

 

Thanks for the welcome.
Drove the Taco about 60 miles on interstate.
Note to self.....next time get cruise control.

With the smaller tires speedo is about 3-4 mph slower that actual speed acording to phone gps.

When I hit a bump only high works on the a/c,dealer has a part on order.

Full bench seat is too soft on drivers side.

Im impressed with the room behind the seat.
Impressed with its highway manners.
Impressed with its power.Its hands down the most powerful 4 cylinder in a small truck I have ever driven,she really hauls butt.

I'm in love.Only wish I could have gotten a 4x4,my last few rides have all been.Jeep Wranglers and full size pick ups.

 

Welcome!
