    935C81A5-2236-48DC-A35C-AD7F587C8566.jpg Hi my name is Freddy I’m really enjoying my ‘17 Tacoma and everything that comes with one. I have never owned a vehicle that has kept me so engaged. I’m constantly going from what mod or trail should I tackle first to (ok) no what do I want to modify and I where am I taking next. In the short period of time this truck has showed me the he difference between owning a car/truck and loving it. The Taco has helped me understand the culture and live the lifestyle
