    So I sold my dad my 2013 MGM DC TRD Sport back in November. And as usual, regretting selling it. As luck would have it I was in my favorite local Toyota repair shop about 5 1/2 weeks ago talking to the service writer about selling me his Tundra. Another customer comes in and overhears this and asks if I am looking for a truck. I said always. He said he wanted to sell his 2011 Tacoma. We exchanged numbers and he bought a new Tundra this week so I am the proud owner of this last year of Speedway blue Tacoma. It had been treated better inside and out than the one I sold my dad. This is the first time I’ve ever had a Tacoma come to me. I’ve had five Toyota pickups, 6 1st Gens, and 4 2nd Gens plus a Tundra. I’ve always had to chase them down!

    2014 Tacoma 040 SR5 4x4 DC SB V6 AT5 Tow Pkg Entune+ Mostly stock with a few OEM mods.
    Stock (99.999%) OEM Bed Floor Mat, Front Bed Rail Cargo Net and hooks, Auto-Dim mirror w/Compass and outside Temperature display, TRD Pro Grille, Uni-Filter air pump modification, WeatherTech floor liners f/r. (winter) OEM All-Weather floor mats (summer).
    JeezeLouise that's a nice looking truck! Nice grab: great color and color-keyed everything to boot! Perfect. Those wheels are nice: "Just enough". It's begging for a Heritage Grill... ;) (The only exterior modification I have made to my truck. Just had to have that grille... never liked the strange emblem) I'm working on replacing the chrome surround to the OEM color-keyed one.

    That’s just the reflection of the clouds, the truck has no fading on hood/roof. A friend at church has a 2010 5 lug Speedway blue and her roof and hood are faded unfortunately
