    My story is quite interesting - during the course of 5 years I have gone through the following vehicles:

    -2013 Nissan Altima SV
    -2012 Honda CR-V EX AWD
    -2015 Honda CR-V EX 2WD
    -2007 Honda Pilot EXL
    -2018 VW Tiguan SE

    I finally got my Taco in July after my VW was lemon law'ed with a litany of issues. I have always wanted a pickup but my garage size limited me in the length I could work with. I am actually able to squeeze into the garage with 4-5" left.

    While I totally wanted a V6 model, I wanted to keep my payments reasonable and I got an SR5 4 Cylinder 2WD truck that was made in my home state of Texas. Even though it does feel a little under powered at times, I am happy I got something that finally works for me! My commute basically takes me through the heart of downtown Atlanta so at most I average 30 MPH during my drive so I feel that I made the right decision.

    Anyways - glad to be here and looking forward to learning more.
