    2018 Tacoma Off Road 6mt
    Hey All,
    I just brought home my 2018 Off Road, 6mt. Traded a 2007 Tundra with 175k mostly trouble free miles. Loved that truck, terrible gas mileage. I had actually been looking for a Tacoma back in 2010 when I stumbled on the used Tundra and picked that up. Talked the wife into trading for the Tacoma today, after finding a 6mt with leather interior. Drove it 5hrs home and super happy so far. Couple o questions that I will be searching for, but figured I'd ask...

    Anyone else come from a 5.7L tundra? Any regrets? I got almost 20mpg on my trip home which is loads better than the 16mpg I was getting. Plus the 6mt is sweet.

    Any recommendations for a roll up tonneau cover? I am not a fan of the tri folds. Looking at the Truxport tonneau for $309.

    Anything to watch out for on my particular truck? Leather was a must for the wife, but an Off Road with 6mt and leather was VERY hard to find...curious how many others have this setup.

    Sorry typo...I had a 2008 Tundra. Used it to haul my 30ft travel trailer up and down the east coast from key west to DC. ALMOST bought a 17 Tundra with TRD exhaust that sang to me, but figured grab the Tacoma while it's there. Wife laughed at me calculating mpg on the way home today but it was a primary reason to trade. She's been thru...5? Cars while I've had my Tundra so figured it's my turn to get what I want! Now I need to find some trails to take it down...
