    Title says it, I just bought my first brand new vehicle ever. I traded in my '14 Dodge Charger AWD for a brand new 2021 Tacoma TRD Sport 4x4.

    As covid hit, I started getting more into camping and fishing as a fun hobby and have been eyeing trucks ever since. When I realized that used Tacoma prices in the 2-3 year old range were dang near the price of a new one around here, I decided to go brand new.

    TRD Sport, Tech Package, LED headlights and fogs, factory flaps and a chrome factory exhaust tip. I plan to do some customizations as time and money allow but for now, I'm very happy with my purchase. Don't mind the goofy looking white guy in the second picture.

    Thanks for all the welcome wishes. It's been a day and I already have a tonneau cover, have done the AC condenser drain reroute, and ordered oem blackout emblems (for significantly less than the dealer wanted). Loving the forum so far, there's a ton of good information here!

    Lol. I initially really tried my best to avoid the mod bug here until I payed off this taco. Now that its payed off, I don't see the need as of the moment. I use the taco as I intend to (camping ,desert driving/exploring,fire roads no rock climbing) and I don't see the need for more mods yet. Glad I held off .
