    2013 Tacoma TX Baja 6-Speed Manual
    Hello everyone, I recently acquired my First Tacoma after a few months of looking. I'll start of with the basics, 2013 DCSB, TX BAJA, 6-Speed Manual and a staggering 22,000 miles. If only it had heated leather seats...... though I can live without.

    I've only ever owned BMW's and older vehicles. But job and lifestyle necessitated the need for a truck. So the search began, I looked at every available option from full size to mid-size trucks and but requirements and budget kept leading me back to a Taco or Frontier (mainly due to the offering of a manual and the medium towing capacity). Ultimately set my sights on a Tacoma because, lets be honest they look Aggressive with just a little work and have Toyota's Reliability.

    I must say I've owned this truck for 3 weeks now and have put about 1500 miles on it already, 400 of them the first day. Drove 7 hours to pick it up. I love this truck. I can't wait to use it and see how it tow's an E30.

    Can't be much worse then the vehicle I used to borrow 94 K1500 with 345k on it. It was underbraked, underpowered, and just plain worn out. This truck feels faster then that 5.7L V8
