    2017 Quicksand Tacoma TRD Off Road 4x4
    Hey everyone! Ive been reading and going through a lot of the 3rd gen section of this forum doing some research on a 2017 Tacoma Off Road 4x4. Im coming from a 2014 F150 Tremor FX2 that I modded to have around 425 rwhp and tons of torque. BUT i started working a construction job for the local county and need a 4x4. My wife also recently gave birth to our first child, so i also need a crew cab for my son's car seat. I was originally looking at the 2017 Ram Rebel 4x4 but I'm just weary on buying a Dodge. I'm hopefully headed up to the dealership today to pick up and sign for a Taco in the Quicksand color. Stay tuned for pictures...

    Welcome to TW Jason.

    Can I ask if you'll be using the truck for work in addition to family?

    The truck is a solution to both needing a 4x4 off road capable truck for work AND needing to be able to pick my son up from daycare/driving the family around.

    Great!

    I'd take a copy of this with me. May help avoid an early return to the dealer.

    Ended up getting the Tacoma over the Rebel and traded in the Tremor. I'll miss the fast truck but the Tacoma seems like it'll be a fun truck in its own way
