I'm pinching myself......

This is TRULY the very first new vehicle other than a motorcycle(s) that I have ever bought....now at the age of 50! OH WHAT A FEELING!!! I got a 2017 Tacoma double cab TRD Off Road. I haven't even taken delivery of it yet as it was brought in from out of state. I did manage to drive it when it got here but I am already accessorizing it at the dealership so that's why I don't have it yet.....so here I am at Tacoma World......EXCITING!!! to say the least as when I did actually have a small experience with my new truck, I was overwhelmed as I am going from an '85 Toyota Tercel SR5 AWD that I have owned since 2000 and now has some issues.....drivers window won't crank up, passenger door won't unlock and now just the other day my heater blower quit....what timing since we got our first snow today and the temps are to be in the single digits this week. Are you feeling me??? OH WHAT A FEELING!!! Anyway.....I'm looking forward to conversing with a number of you concerning my new ride. I also own a Kawasaki Concours which has it's own following and bloggers along with the coveted experiences from other member-owners. And that is why I joined here after having the experience with the Concours Owners Group. One thing that concerns me is DIY maintenance ..... Both the Tercel and Concours are SIMPLE vehicles......carburated with no/minimal electronics.....easy to work on and CHEAP to fix. So I have taken a HUGE leap in buying such an advanced and more complicated vehicle. Mind you mine is only a manual which I prefer but it doesn't have the 'mind' to dig itself out of the muck (CRAWL). That in itself is intriguing! Very appealing to buying an automatic. I still prefer the manual . Well that's all for now.......

 

Koo.

 

Congrats on the new truck, sounds like you earned it. I hope it's everything you expect. Concourse though? Should have went with the Yamaha FJ1300, just saying.

 

Congrats on your new Tacoma and welcome!
