    Wiper blades;) (so far)
    Greetings all from Ma.,
    I stumbled on this site looking for wiper blade model and size to replace a problem child.. instantly found my answer here so thanks for that! (got Bosch Icons).
    Im new to the Toyota world and Tacoma was my first choice.

    It all started wanting to down size to a mid size pup from my F150..I was originally wanting a colorado, then opened up to a canyon and tacoma..
    as a ford guy I was interested in the ranger but, wasn't keen on spending mid 30s on a 4 cyl. as well as not knowing the longevity and issues as they're just hitting the streets this year.
    So it came down to a KILLER canyon fully loaded, every option under the sun.. drove incredible, the full monty..
    instinct kicked in as we all know "if something sounds too good to be true it usually is",
    2017 w/ 10kmi for 30k.. hmmm this thing was just south of 42k a year ago and here it sits for 30k...
    Called my mechanic the next day and I said.. straight up Im looking at mid sizes.. Tacoma or Canyon?.... no hesitation at all he said.. "all day every day Tacoma!, In the long run you'll be a much happier camper"
    It was between a 17 sport or 16 OR, while i was juggling and test driving the sport sold making my decision easier..
    So here I am, a happy camper with a 2016 Off Road in red... been two weeks and adjusting well to a different animal than always used to.

    Sorry for the long winded intro, looking forward to soaking up valuable info from experienced owners, thanks again for the wiper info!

    thanks guys, ira just looked at ur build thread.. lmao niece writing! i remember my daughter in her "name writing" stage, its still
    all over my garage! great memories.. ur truck looks great, funny I haven't felt this way about my vehicle in a couple decades or so..
    haven't wanted to "just take a drive" or "do things" to it since my early twenties..
    my first bike was a heritage classic that I thought i would just buy and ride, a day later I had it stripped down to bare bones a building
    it my own way.. this thing has me all of that... thinking tires, push bar, nerf bars and possibly pro grill and only a cupl weeks into it, haha!
    im sensing a small taco disease coming on, and the only cure is more cowbell!
