    Hello All;

    Just joined the Tacoma community.

    We also just ordered our 2017 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road Access Cab Manual in Quicksand this week...Last one available for order in Canada! Pretty excited to own a Tacoma especially considering we really didn't know much about them less than 30 days ago...My wife and I were in Hawaii for two weeks (thus the username Hangloose) and every 3rd or 4th vehicle was a Tacoma (of some flavor)...Had to find out why. We spoke to some of the locals, test drove a few and while sipping beers on the beach decided to sell our Dodge RAM 2500 Diesel (almost impossible to find parking in Toronto) and buy a Tacoma. Moving to a mid-size truck is a welcome transition. I have been driving diesels since 2005...but the boat we have now (and others in the future) are not trailerable. My wife and I are looking forward to the manual transmission with the V6!

    The forum has been awesome...tons of ideas and insight!

    Welcome to TW.

    From one diesrlholic to another you may need some time to adjust to the way the power is delivered but I bet you'll be happy. I like your configuration of V6, manny tranny & a good color.

    Thanks. Like many others on the forum I was sold on another color (silver as it doesn't show dirt too much) but the Quicksand color grew on my wife and I. I love the look of the access cab and the manny is going to be fun!
