    IMG_0369.jpg This is my first taco, I owned a Frontier & may I say the Taco is a much better truck all around. No wonder why I see so many around especially here in Hawaii. I have a 2017 SR (4 cyl.). Of course I would've wanted the v6, test driving one was a great experience, but I'm a youngster on a budget. Anyway, I'm glad
    to be a member here and hope to get to know some of you knowledgeable taco owners. So far my mods are LED interior (maps & dome), removed front air dam & a 5% tint all around (if you'd consider that a mod, lol). I just ordered my HID's & rear license plate light LED's. Future plans are to get some sounds, get a TRD skid plate & do a small lift (2"-3"). The rims and tires will come when more money comes my way. Anyway, once again glad to be here. Peace from the islands in the east! :)

    Aloha! I was in Hawaii at the beginning of June. I saw A LOT of nice Toyotas out there. Definitely helped me lean more towards a Tacoma than a few other vehicles I was considering (frontier and jeep).

    Yes, in Hawaii, Tacoma's are the number one truck everyone has. I could never figure out why because of such the high price, even seen some older models with around 100k going for around $20k. But after owning one, I can def. say it's worth the money. Even having my SR, I'm surprised how much power my 4 cylinder can push out. It feels like I have a 6 cylinder under the hood. I love my ECT button :p
