    Well, finally bought my first truck. After seeing the need to add a truck in the near future and envying my brother's taco for a while, I traded in my Mazda 3 for a 2017 OR.

    Not going to lie, I will miss the high 30s MPG and driving a manual from the Mazda, but I am already loving this truck! Great vehicle.

    I made some adjustments since getting her a week ago, thanks to the info from TW (the BirdDawg mirror riser was a great recommendation). Figured after browsing the forum for the last month I should finally make an account and hopefully contribute down the road.

    Sweet me too. I started up a group called Rocky Mountain Tacomas on facebook and instagram. Feel free to give it a follow. I'm always looking for people to ride trails with if you're interested.
