    ... that's the District, Maryland, and Virginia, not the despised state government office. Yes, I'm now serving time inside the beltway.

    I just got a 2011 Silver Streak Mica Access Cab TRD Sport 6-Speed Manual with 27,000 miles. It was at a (BMW) dealer, so I never got the story about why the miles were so low. It is very clean. My mechanic checked it out and said, "You just don't see them like this!" and "If you don't buy it, it'll be gone next week." So I got it, then promptly went on a business trip. My wife drove it every day I was gone, and she has it today.

    I removed the TRD stickers (I like it plain) and the aftermarket step rails (which the six year old is requesting be put back on). I just didn't like the looks of them, too chrome-y. Thinking about adding a camper shell. I might be up for a hood swap, too, to get rid of the faux hood scoop - if I could find the same color/similar condition.

    I'm attaching a photo from yesterday so you can see how it looks.

    Yes! A manual. I love 'em. That's all the wife and I have had for decades. Cuts down on thievery, valet attendants, etc. :)

    It's also much easier to time my racecar noises when I know exactly when a shift is coming. My gf LOOOOOVES riding in the truck with me.
