    I pulled the trigger and bought one of these bad boys a couple of weeks ago. I got the '18 Limited 2WD since it fits me. I've only owned cars my entire life (coming from a Honda Accord) and I love the way this thing drives. I finally don't have to worry about being splashed by pickup trucks on I-35 when it's raining!

    Looking to do some minor upgrades in the near future, but I'm having a hard time finding a place with good parts. Is there a general website for Tacoma owners?

    *Update since the original post*

    I traded in the 2018 Limited for a 2019 TRD Off-Road 4x4. Price vs price I came out even (gave up all the luxury stuff for 4WD), but they did let me keep the tonneau cover and all-weather mats! Car salespeople are so thoughtful /s :rolleyes:
