    The first Taco I ever owned was the 2002 I bought last summer. I loved it so much I put in an order for a 2024, but after another delay, I could no longer hold out, and got a great deal on an SR5 with a tech package. Had to give up my 2023 Kia Soul GT Line that I bought in Dec of 22, but since I paid cash, on trade it was all used to offset the cost of the new taco. Drove it from Live Oak FL to Lyons GA today to get my new trailer. 23.1 mpg on the way up and 21.1 on the way back. It's only a 12' x 6.6' trailer, it has pull out ramps over a rear attached ramp, 2 - 3500 lb axles with one brake axle. Not a lot of drag, but I'm still happy with both mpg's. My first car was a white 65 Corvair Monza, so hope another white vehicle means it's my last (way down the road!).

    Just an FYI, those dash cam write ups are really involved and there is an easier, albeit maybe slightly pricer way. The OEM dashcam harness is between 40-60$ depending on dealership, it is a Y harness with preinstalled fuses for the always on 12v+ and ignition 12v+ that plugs into and replaces the existing wire harness for the rear view mirror, all right above the ceiling center console. You can modify that to wire up any 12v dashcam and follow the OEM installation directions. USB dashcams have premade harnesses you can buy.
    Edit: Congratulations on the truck! I just picked one up a few weeks ago too.

    I've been driving Toyota 4x4's since 1982. Do the regular maintenance and you will likely have her for years. Congratulations on the purchase!
