    Hello all, yes I'm new here and don't own a Taco (yet). I'm driving a VW GTI to work and have my lifted 05' F350 sitting in the driveway for weekends and such... I'm really thinking hard to purchase a Taco in the near future as I had an 88' Forerunner and loved it...I just wish the Tacoma had better mileage or had a diesel option.

    I like my cars lowered (not slammed) and my trucks lifted for the job intended.

    Anyway I will keep searching the site for thoughts and ideas
    Cheers Troy

    Good luck Troy. The Tacoma is a great truck and fun to mod also.

    Welcome CC, north of the border here too. Tacoma gets ok economy mines in the 12-13 l/100 k range sometimes better or worse depending. It gets it done in winter and handles snow really well.

    Don't be scared off by some of the complaints you see on here.

    My father owns a 2nd Gen Taco that he loves and other than the BT connectivity sucking I love my 3rd Gen. Good luck on the search!

    Thanks for the welcome!!
    Born and raised in BC, living in Abbotsford
    Love the look of the Tacos and rented a 2016 in Maui last year...was fun to drive but the V6 seemed gutless...
    I know the mileage isn't great but "you have to pay to play"
