    Well decided to join you all here, I just went from owning full size trucks all chevy for 15 years and decided it was time for a change. So here ya have it, I went to a Tacoma size and love it! It was hard getting used to at first but it's coming along. I'm used to driving big lifted chevys and I guess I had enough when I always had to use my wench to get unstuck, or I couldn't fit down certain off roads because the I could not and I mean could not get my chevy to fit between certain trees along the trail. Well, however it worked I'm glad to own my Taco! There's a couple pics I posted. One of the new Tacoma and the other of my old Chevy. Best thing is I can do a build all over again with this taco!

    2017 TRD OR DCLB
    Our 2017 DCLB is my first "longer" truck--owned a Blazer eons ago--and I honestly don't understand how people drive full sized trucks in anything less than a totally rural environment. This truck is about as big as I'd want to steer around city streets. I can't even imagine having to park a crew cab F350 in anything other than a barn yard. Plus I love seeing the super jacked up full sized trucks with their beds at about 6' off the ground. Hauling anything in and out of those things must be a royal pain in the ass. I guess there's a reason you don't see many real working trucks jacked up to the sky. Hope you enjoy your new whip. I've hauled a lot of stuff and taken her down some pretty fun trails and never have I wished for "more" truck.

    Yeah I’m anlil late in responding to you, sorry I’ve been super busy! But yes I love the new whip! Raised in AZ and lived in TX for a few years before coming to KY all I ever experienced was big full sized trucks. Can’t do a whole lot with them but haul around big ass stuff and yes a royal pain in the ass to park at times. It’s way easier to back into every spot! However I found it hard to get around on those backwoods trails. Actually kinda sucked a lot. My last truck was way too heavy for certain obstacles too whereas the taco and get right through them!
