    2018 Dark Gray Tacoma TRD Sport
    'Sup? Just bought a 2018 Tacoma TRD Sport with 27K miles. I've owned 2 Honda Ridgelines and they both died very expensive deaths -- one had the tranny that I had been nursing along blow at 240K and the crank bering on the next one went out at 180K. Both of them had issue after issue, way too much cash spent on them. Needed a small truck and wanted something that would last, so the Tacoma is here! The ride is rougher and noisier, and the speakers are, well, it's a Tacoma. Already swapped the tweeters and will be doing the door speakers and some sound deadening soon enough. So far, it's a great truck, should've bought one of these years ago!
