    Hi everyone.

    New here but already reading a lot of posts regarding the 2nd generation.
    Always wished to have a 4x4 and a pickup, I finally jumped a bought a used 2015 tacoma few months ago.

    I thought buying a TRD Pro but it is a "simple" base V6 with 4x4. What matters for me was the origin and the traceability of the truck ... so still very happy owner.

    I added spacers and a bed cover. Nothing fancy.

    The only concern I have is the feeling with the breaks. I used to have very much direct response with the other cars. Changed the brake fluid and bought the truck with new OEM rotors and pads. After changing the brake fluid it is "better" but still not yet what I would like. I read numerous posts in the forum about the subject and looks like no magic trick unless go big and changing the whole braking system.

    For the newbies like me, I found this post very helpful as a starter: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/2nd-gen-tips-mods-more.7174/
