    Hi Guys,

    Im exited to join the TacomaWorld!

    I just recently bought a new 2020 TRD Off Road double cab Magnetic Gray w/ premium package 3; LED lights, Moon roof, leather, Predator Tube Steps, and most importantly to me.... A STICK! A manual transmission is understandingly not desirable for some I suppose, but it's a MUST have for me.

    With a heavy heart, I traded in my 2007 FJ Cruiser (stick of course) with 273,000 miles. God I loved that FJ more than anything, but started to dump some money into it more frequently as little to bigger things started fail. Im sure i could have gone another 100K miles, but it felt that it was time to start looking. I always loved the Tacoma so thought i would give it a shot. Plus with a bunch of Toyota incentives right now gave me the push I needed like 0% Toyota Finance. Plus This is my third Toyota from same dealer so they threw me a pretty good loyalty deal.

    Anyway, I just picked up the new Tacoma last Wednesday 5/20/20 and all I can say is the last 72 hours is simply amazing. Unbelievable truck indeed. Past my expectation. Feels and looks fantastic. Easy transition from the FJ. I must admit I like the visibility much better (you FJ guys know. lol). I drive mostly highway during the week and weekends are for the mountains, lakes, ocean and projects if need be. This is the perfect fit as the FJ was, but maybe more so with now with a flatbed. I hope to have for at least 10-15 years. I can already tell it wont be a problem.

    Looking forward to chatting on the forum. Thanks Again - Marko
