    Hey guys, just wanted to share a story real quick about how my ‘02 Taco named Camille saved me and my Gf’s lives. I had to come to a very abrupt stop driving south on a long stretch of route 1 Wiscasset Maine to avoid a 3 car pile up directly in front of me. Still scratching my head as to how, or why we didn’t get hit somehow but when I slammed my brake to the floor ( somehow remembering to shift instinctively) within .2 seconds my almost 20 year old truck came to a skidding halt just to the edge of the wreckage ahead of us.

    this is why we love our trucks, reliability and damn near intuitive performance. I’m grateful every day.
