    2018 Tacoma TRD Sport 4x4 Double Cab Long Bed in Inferno
    This is my 3rd Toyota truck. My first was back in 1991, when they were compacts. The 2nd was a 2003 Taco TRD Off Road. Fast forward to August 2018, And I bought a 2018 Taco TRD Sport 4X4 Double Cab Long Bed. I'm loving it so far. Especially the gas mileage, as I traded in a 2017 Ford F250, for it.-$80 in gas, every 2 days, was getting very old. So far, I'm a week into owning my new taco & am currently enjoying it very much. I'm not too fond of the auto transmission continuing to hunt for the "perfect gear," but other than that, it seems to be a solidly built truck.
