    2019 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road
    Hey everyone this is my second day on the forum officially. I have been doing research on tacos here for a few years now and 3 months ago I pulled the trigger on a 2019 TRD Off Road so I figured its time I join this awesome forum. I was worried at first because it was kind of a now or never situation for me so it all happened really fast. I thought I was going to be stricken with buyers regret. I'm 3 months in now and this truck has blown my mind in about every way (the only vehicles I've owned before this was a 99 accord & an 04 accord) so you could probably see why haha.

    As you can tell by my username, my main reason for buying this truck other than utility & work was my recent obsession with overlanding. I've been drooling over overland youtube videos and now I'm dead set on making it my own life long lifestyle/hobby. I plan on moving out to Prescott AZ within the next 5 years which would make overlanding even easier for me.

    I look forward to reading stories, asking questions, and sharing my adventures with everyone on here. I have my eyes set on the new 2020 TRD Pro rumored to be coming out in a new Army Green color, supposedly similar to the old FJ green. I hope to make the new 2020 TRD Pro my long term overlanding vehicle. Green has always been my favorite color and the pro has a lot of things I would have gotten a lot of use out of especially the upgraded Fox Suspension. I'm still undecided at this point with the 2020 because there is not much info out about it so hopefully more will be released around summer time.

    So here are some pictures of the adventures I've already done :)IMG_20181204_122151 1.jpg IMG_20181213_123807.jpg IMG_20181204_122151 1.jpg IMG_20181213_123807.jpg IMG_20181213_125016.jpg IMG_20181204_122151 1.jpg IMG_20181213_123807.jpg IMG_20181213_125016.jpg IMG_20181217_152159.jpg IMG_20181217_153741.jpg IMG_20190203_160422.jpg IMG_20190203_160441.jpg MVIMG_20181223_162621.jpg IMG_20190203_161659.jpg

    Great looking truck!

    Where are those trails you’re on? I’m guessing NH? I’m in Mass and struggling to find much off-roading our this way.
