    Hi, everyone. My girlfriend and I are excited about our Tacoma that we purchased today and I wanted to introduce myself!

    We just bought a 2011 Prerunner V6 with the TRD Sport package in Barcelona Red. It's going to be my girlfriend's daily driver, replacing her 2001 Saturn SC2 with 160k miles on it (yeah, what a difference, huh?) She's got a horse, and will be using the Tacoma for general hauling and for occasional (a few times a year) hauling of a trailer with a single horse.

    We're not planning on any mods... we love the way it looks and drives bone stock and the plan is to keep it that way.

    Lol, yeah I know what you mean. I have to start with that attitude or I know I'll go crazy. Just ask my VW Golf TDI with chip, upgraded turbo, injectors and clutch. :D

    And yes, it does have the tow package! The Taco, not the TDI. :)

    Glad to have you. You'll see that some of the mods are simple, yet very useful. You'll get bit by the mod bug sooner than later especially now that you found this site.
    Greetings and welcome.

    I swear that looks more like Radiant Red! Maybe it's just the picture...

    Either way, beautiful truck and best of luck with it. I just got my first Taco last Thursday and am loving it so far.
