    Hello TW, I have been wanting a Taco over 10 years now and finally found the right one. This will be my first new vehicle. 2018 DCSB TRD OR 6MT with Premium and Tech packages and tonneau cover in Blazing Blue Pearl. Since gulf states toyota does not stock manuals, I searched the country and found one in DC. So tomorrow morning I am flying in to finish the deal and drive her home!

    I have a bit of extra time to stop along the way and make a road trip of it. Unfortunately I won't have camping gear with me since I am flying in. Any suggestions on where to stop or pass through on the way back? So far I was thinking Skyline Dr/Shenandoah national Park, and possible parts of Blueridge Parkway (I figure it will take a while to do the whole thing). Maybe Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Suggestions?
