    Hey everyone, just picked up my first Tacoma this past Saturday as a replacement for my aging Xterra. It's an '08 with the 4.0 V6; I'm a total newb to these trucks so I'm looking forward to learning more!

    Very nice my friend. Sold my xTerra for a tacoma just under a year ago. Try not to browse these forums too often cause it will inspire you to spend all of your money on truck upgrades out of envy :p

    Yea my father had Toyota's while I was growing up and rarely had issues with them, so I'm not worried about this one at all, mileage wise. Tires are Michelin LTX A/T2's. 245/75/16
