    2015 Tacoma DCLB Better Than TRD
    See Build Page
    Loved my Taco but all the mods are getting to me. Gas mileage is terrible. AAA says gas will go up $0.40 this summer. I need something better for my kids, dog, etc.

    So. After making a big bonus at work yesterday I decided it was time to trade up! Super stoked!!

    So glad to have a brand new vehicle again.

    It's been fun TW but my G/F and i are OUT!!!

    April 2nd Update: The 2017 Ridgeline is the ugliest pos I've ever seen!! It is literally a minivan with the roof cut off and marketed as a "truck". Even the saleswoman at the dealer told me it was ugly and that she teased her husband she was going to buy him one.

    :thumbsup: I'm glad you did it before I did. I think I'm gonna swap my Tacoma for a Ridgeline as well. I love the cooler and stereo built into the bed. That beast of a rig puts me in touch with my inner college girl

    2015 Tacoma DCLB Better Than TRD
    See Build Page
    Serious.

    With all my mods invested I kinda took a bath. But it's hard to sell a modded truck so I'm happy with my $23k trade.

    Leather interior is nice. I think next winter I'll like the AWD over 4x4. No worries about whether to activate or not, etc.

    And the Ridgeline looks much cleaner than the 3rd Gen Tacoma. I will never own a 3rd Gen. I really thought I'd do a 4 Runner next but... I dunno the Ridgeline is so much nicer.

    I might do some better tires and wheels but no lift. Only thing that sucks is needing another topper. I shoulda taken my new one off the Taco and sold it privately.
