    New here. Have been wanting a Tacoma ever since high school. The only problem was the cabs were too small for me. Well I recently lost a good bit of weight, and low and behold, they are just right.

    so I went out and bought a 2017 Tacoma Limited edition 4x4, with 34,000 on it. Love the truck. Getting around 21.7mpg so far.

    Added some BF KO2, blacked out the tint, new floor mats, seat covers to protect the leather, and called it a day.

    I have been looking at a front leveling kit, but haven’t pulled the trigger. Only other thing would be a remote start but I hate that it cuts off when you open the door.

    is there anything I should be aware of with this truck from you fellas who know more than me about them?

    Welcome to the forum, first thing to do is stop reading this forum, if you can’t do that go to your back yard and bury your wallet! This site is stupid expensive!

    It all starts innocently like this, you love your new truck.

    20171009_120148_1509366445984.jpg Then you find Tacoma World and the madness sets in and your credit/ debit card starts to get soft then starts to melt from all the projects you take on.
