    Hello All,

    I am a fairly recent Toyota convert. I have always drove F150s and was mostly loyal to Ford, but I had a 2nd Gen Tacoma work truck that I hated to give up when the company decided to get us new trucks (F150s).

    My old F150 was about played out and I was looking for something new or newer. We have had a lot of trouble with the newer F150s at work, I love my wife’s Highlander she bought last year, and I loved my Tacoma work truck…so here I am. I picked up a low mileage 2018 TRD Sport. Only had it for a week, but absolutely love it. Very Happy with my decision.

    I'm a former Ford guy and F100-F150 convert as well. For me there is no going back. I've been driving Toyotas and Mazda's since 1989.
