    Wanted to stop by and introduce myself. I just bought a new 2019 Tacoma TRD Sport. Been looking at these for a while, and figured I would push the button if a dealer could find me one in a manual transmission (tired of automatics). Boss, ie, wife, wasn't too happy but she put her signature down on the papers and I walked out of the dealership a proud owner. My dealer rep was great. Told him what I wanted, with nothing extra. They didn't have any in-stock and asked for my top 3 colors. He found the Super White in Kansas City and did a dealer trade. So, I got exactly what I wanted. When I picked it up, it had about 3XX miles, with most of it being driven from KC to my dealer.

    Gotta say, I really love it. I'm not into any mods, but I did add side steps since my wife is tiny.
    These were taken at the dealership before I drove it off the lot last Thursday. What you can't see is my huge smile!

    Anyway, I'll be hiding in the shadows, learning everything I can about my Tacoma and the experiences of others.

    Thanks all. I really love this truck, and lurking on this site really helped me in my decision. It won't be my daily driver to work (80 miles round trip) as I don't want to put thousands of miles on it right away. I do have a 2008 Rogue AWD that is just shy of 200k miles that will be my daily until it finally dies. But at least now I can pull my ATV on a trailer when I want to go riding. On my bucket list is Windrock ATV park and Hatfield/McCoy trails. Just not feasible in my Rogue.
