    My name is Paul and I just purchased a 2025 Tacoma SR three weeks ago. I have enjoyed it so far, being that this is the first Toyota I have owned, but disappointed there's not more storage space under the back seats. Also, I too just had my AM / FM radio not work this morning coming in but the Sat radio worked fine. I have always owned a Ford, have had three Ford trucks in my life, and thinking I should have gotten another one instead of Toyota.

    Welcome aboard! That's disappointing that the radio is being finicky that soon after you got the truck. (The storage, too, but I've never found anything that I didn't wish for more space.) Hopefully there are some folks with newer trucks that can give you some ideas on where to start; hopefully one that new would also have some recourse back at the dealer, too.

    As far as Toyota vs. the Fords you're accustomed to, there are a lot of brands with good vehicles out there. I've had my 2011 for five years now, and I thoroughly enjoy it; we're working through some initial bugs with the '06 Tacoma my daughter just got (goes with the 20-year-old territory), but I hope it serves her well for a long time. And I hope that, once you get through a couple of initial bumps here, that yours takes good care of you, too.
