    Well Guys and Girls, its been a pleasure to be part of the Tacoma community, I have been wanting a Tacoma since I learned to drive. I finally bought on over a year ago, I was a proud owner, telling everyone how great the truck is! Over months of dealing with transmission issues, which finally got fixed/reduced with TSB. But a couple weeks ago a trip to the hill country here in Texas, was the most fustrated I've been with the truck. Constant shifting of gear on little climbs, lack of power, and terrible mpg because of it. I recently took trip to San Diego, which I rented 4-runner (so much different driving experience) So wanting to stay in the Toyota Family I went with 2017 4Runner. 3" factory lift and t-force pacakge (side steps, roof rack, fake skid plate, rims/tire combo, black badging and all weather mats) Yeah it cost a bit more and won't get as good MPG but the more space inside and normal transmission/engine has been good so far. FYI - Tacoma resale is the best on the damn planet!! I do have a full set of husky mats and bed mat from Tacoma I can't use as well. I will miss the community, y'all have been great. Take care. Here is the new ride.

    Hey Man, that is a gorgeous Runner you've got there. You don't have to split, I think plenty of folks here dig and drive the 4 Runners.
