    Newbie here from the Blue Ridge mountains in central Virginia. The first new vehicle I bought was an ‘86 Toyota pickup, 4 cyl, 2WD, Xtra cab (I think that’s what it was called back then). Traded it for a ‘88 4WD SR5, first year you could a V6. I was living in Vermont then. Got 13 good years out of it. Fast forward to 2020, after a Volvo wagon (a car you never own) and 2 Outbacks, I decided we could use a truck. After debating whether 2WD would be sufficient for our needs, settled on a SR5 V6 LB. The Boss insisted on the double cab so the dogs could ride in comfort. Delighted so far.

    Thanks everyone for welcoming me to TW. Besides adding a Leer cab high cap and upgrading the Entune to get in dash navigation, I don’t envision much if any modifications. The Taco will be pretty much a daily driver with trips to the dump, lumber yard, and moving the kids. Off road use won’t be more than hauling brush and firewood around the property. Seriously considered 2WD for Virginia but finally went with 4WD - why not have the option to get stuck anywhere. And never considered anything other than the Tacoma for a mid size truck. Ford and GM never interested me. That Honda thing is a car in truck’s clothing. Sure, there are criticisms - stiff ride, GPM, rear drum brakes, and technical stuff like gear ratios that are over my head -but having already owned two that were great trucks, I wasn’t about to argue with reliability and resale value. Besides, it’s really sharp looking. Glad to have found Tacoma World with the wealth of knowledge and experience shared by enthusiasts. Thanks again.
