    Hey guys!

    Just bought a silver 2018 SR5 Tacoma double cab with 4WD on Saturday. It's my first ever new vehicle, traded in an old Mustang for it. I'd ad a picture, but I'll take a leap here and imagine you guys have seen a stock Tacoma before. I'm super excited to join the community.

    Paid $38.5 for it, including TT&L and $4k of negative equity from my trade in. How'd I do? I'm kind of kicking myself for not getting a TRD package, but I just don't see how I could have gotten the price below $40k for one without sacrificing 4WD or the double cab. Thoughts are welcome on this subject.

    Now that I have a Tacoma, I've been seeing them EVERYWHERE. There must be a word for that. The problem is that all the ones I'm seeing are all TRD OR ones and I'm already getting badge envy.

    Anyway, that's me. I'll be lurking for a while, soaking up advice, opinions, tips, etc. so don't be afraid to gimme that $.02

    Hi... I just joined too! I can say that, after about 376 builds using the Toyota website and two impromptu visits to a dealer just cuz, you will never decide until you just do it! =D. Mine is a week old.

    I salute both of us.
