    Howdy folks! Just picked up a 2016 Barcelona Red TRD Off-Road Tacoma on Monday. I've been lurking on this forum for a while, but figured I'd better sign-up now that I'm an actual Taco owner...

    I've had a BMW for the past 15 years, however, my parents have been Toyota fans for a loooong time. My dad still has his '90 Toyota V-6 4x4 Pickup that he's had since new, as well as a 98 4-Runner and a 98 Previa, so I'm no stranger to Toyotas! My decision to sell my BMW and get a truck was not taken lightly, as I loved my previous car, however I do a lot of woodworking and DIY house projects and I've broken a few things here and there while hauling in my wife's Outback, so I figured it was time to change my vehicle. I go kayak fishing a couple to several times a month, and I'd also like to get back into camping and hopefully find some nice off-road trails near-ish to our home in San Antonio, TX. We also take a yearly vacation trip up to Colorado, so I'm looking forward to taking this truck up there at some point!

    Needs a new paint job and a new power steering pump, but other than that, still runs like a champ:

    I was honestly hoping for Inferno, but Red was a close second and happened to be available locally. Either way, I'm very happy with the purchase so far :)

    ha! welcome to TW now that your not driving a Bummer er beamer..... at a shop I worked at one time we always called the BMW's Bummers because so many owners would not keep an eye on the coolant level until it was too late and over heated with a warped head for results and they would be Bummed out at the Repair bill....BMW are known for coolant lost.

    Yep, well aware of BMWs and their associated cooling system issues. I'm OCD about a lot of things so I would check often. Replaced/upgraded the entire cooling system on my E36 M3, and had to replace the T-Stat and overflow cooling hose at ~50K on my F30 335i. Really loved both of those cars, despite their issues, though!
