    Thx man, yeah, it's probably a fad right now but this damn thing does handle really well for what looks like a tank!

    Congratulations. I had a 2015 Tacoma and while it was great for just about everything, it was not so great on the trails where I live due to the wheelbase.

    Just a bit jelly! :drool: I'd love to have one of these but the lack of a true back door and rear roll down windows keeps me out. :( But congratulations to you-enjoy!

    Yes Sir, says Trail Team in a couple places, did not realize what all that meant until after I drove it & left the dealership without even offering on it.
    I got home and started doing more & more research and I couldn't wait for Monday so I could drive it again, definitely the most thorough test drive I've ever done but I can't afford to lose another time in life, haha, a couple times is enough!

    I can see the definite blind spots are there, I drove limos on the weekend during college for a while, you gotta use tiny mirrors on a super stretch Lincoln Town Car too!

    I find the wide A-Pillars to be more of a pain as far as blind spots go. I have to look around them at intersections.
