    Hi Tacoma World!
    After many, many months of searching in CA I found the Tacoma I was looking for in TX. 2017 TRD OR 4x4 with tech, premium, seat heaters, sunroof and most importantly quicksand color... so worth the wait. First owner babied the truck for 14k miles and had it optioned with tri fold tonneau cover, window tint, predator steps, bed lighting, blackout package. Just got the CA plates... stoked to use this on many upcoming dirt and snow California mountain adventures! What should my first mod be?

    Welcome to TW! I love the quicksand color. I almost bought one but around here there are tons of that color.
