    Hi all, this seems to be a busy place.
    I've just bought dads truck, 2 days before he passed away from complications from Alzheimer's. He loved this little truck, and I'm definitely going to keep it.

    it's a 2009 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab 4x4 V6. It's Black Sand Pearl over Graphite cloth interior. It has packages PY (TRD Sport extra value package...) and TO (V6 towing package: 6500 lb max towing capacity, class 4 hitch, transmission and supplemental oil coolers, 130A Alternator, heavy duty battery).

    It has 115,000 miles and has been both well-used and well-cared-for. Dad purchased it new, always kept it clean and garaged when possible, but also drove all over the country in all weather and climes. He loved this truck, and I'm grateful to have it.

    Though, this has left us contemplating the sale of our 2007 4Runner 4x4...

    Welcome to the community, what a beautiful truck!

    Terribly sorry for the circumstances under which you are joining us, but this is the right place to see to it that you get the most out of your ownership and treat it right. Cheers to the journey ahead!
