    2018 Tacoma TRD Sport Access Cab V6 6MT 4x4 Inferno Red
    VF Tune, TRD Intake, TRD Cat-Back.
    Greetings and happy to be here. Sixty year old dude getting the toys together before retirement. Picked up a new Inferno Red '18 Taco TRD Sport access cab 6MT as a daily driver and to support the motorbike habit ('18 BMW R9T Racer, '09 BMW R12R, '18 Suzuki DR650). Getting out of sports cars (hopefully) after decades of BMWs and a few oddballs like a Cayman S, Golf R & S2000.

    The TRD Sport 6MT is a nice truck, really wanted a TRD Off-Road but was not to be had in an access cab 6MT, so "settled" for the TRD Sport with which I am so far overall pleased. First car was an '84 Chevy S10 pickup for 7 years, also had an '03 Taco TRD OR for 8 years. Love that Taco reliability, will never understand the haters but they're the ones missing out so never mind.

    So far have added the TRD Performance Intake and TRD Cat-Back Exhaust, not sure they're worth the money but I definitely prefer the truck with them rather than without. Also looking into the Orange Virus Tuning software upgrade for the ECU, looks like that's the best available right now, and Mat the owner is moving his business right here to Virginia.

    Glad to be here, and THANK YOU TOYOTA FOR STILL OFFERING THE TACO WITH A STICK! Save The Manuals!!
