    In May of this year, I traded in my 2010 Regular Cab Tacoma for a Double Cab Tundra. I told myself I needed the more room. Well, it's been a long six months, but yesterday I picked up a 2013 Tacoma Access Cab. I can't believe how many things come standard on it now. Keyless Entry, Bluetooth, power locks and windows!

    Interesting...my wonderful wife was trying to push me into a Tundra...beautiful truck, but too much for my needs, she really insisted that I would not be happy with the Tacoma, but I'm glad I went with the Taco. It has everything I wanted on it and it just FITS me better and also fits my needs as far as the accational hauling of building materials, lumber and fire wood.

    Yeah, the Tacoma fits my needs so much more than the Tundra did. Most of the time, it's just my girlfriend and I, and occasionally another person. If we need more people space, we'll take her RAV4 (which is actually kinda fun to drive!). I'll miss towering over everyone on the road, but I won't miss 12mpg.

    I got the 4-cylinder with the 5-Speed manual. My favorite combination.

    Also, please note that the Merc parked next to me is parked worse.

    I was just being funny. I figured the person on the other side of you parked to close to the line making you park funny. I cant stand it when people do that crap, especially next to a new car.

    Wow, that's a lot of great standard features! I got the base model and didn't even get intermittent wipers! Hahaha, that was a bad surprise during the first rainfall I had the truck.

    haha, its even funnier because the thread title is called "back in a tacoma"

    Glad to see you got a Tacoma again! I had a 2006 F150 supercrew before, but I never used all of the truck. There is nothing worse than the feeling of paying alot for something and spending alot in gas. But never actually using it to its full potential.

    This is what I felt like with my 2011 Double cab. I hardly ever had passengers in the back and I don't have kids. So I traded in for a 2013 Access Cab TRD OR. Since it's just for me, it's all I really need.
