    Greetings,

    Purchased my third Tacoma in March of this year, It’s an SR5, special ordered 2WD. Could not justify the $4,xxx cost, the extra load on the front end and the added maintenance for the chance that I would use it once or twice each year. I don’t do any off road’ing and, even though I live in Wisconsin, if the snow is too deep, I’ll just stay home until the plow guys come around.

    My other Toyota trucks date back to when they were just called ‘pickup’, in the pre-Tacoma name era. I strayed away once and bought a Chevrolet Colorado in the first year they came out. Nevermore.
