    Been lurking for about a year now. I figured I’d make it official and join the forums.

    I’ve wanted a taco since the first gen in the late 90’s. I drove a 98 Camry and saved while simultaneously paying off my wife’s car and finally got my own brand new 2022 Tacoma in mid November!! I love it!!

    Looking forward to no longer lurking and contributing from time to time!

    Must be a member of the 'save the howdy' club! Keep it up. Lots of Tacos running around Texas streets. Heck, in DFW it seems like they are 1 in every 5 trucks.

    Welcome, and I feel you on the wait. A buddy in high school had a first gen and I was hellbent on having one of my own all these years until last year.

    We’re finally living the dream my friend. Every time I get out of it, I say to myself, “I love this truck!”
