    Good morning,

    I am going to be getting a 2023 Tacoma SR DC 2.7L here in the next few months, and wanted to say hi, and show off my current Toyota!

    She is well loved, I purchased the truck for 900 dollars and have put tires, a battery and a master cylinder on her!

    Auto, long bed , buckets and the heavy bed package! Even have the original sticker!

    Nice truck, @JayBird686. Our family's first compact truck was a Hilux just about like that (a 1972, I think, although a short bed). And I have those exact hubcaps in a box to this day from our 1980 truck (after the Hilux name had been dropped).

    Ours had an automatic, which wasn't ideal on that truck. Yours is a manual transmission, yes?

    It is an auto! I would rather it be standard too! She is old, if she stalls, you have to come to a complete stop, put in park then start!
