    Just bought my 2013 4x4 Tacoma Yesterday and loving it.

    To make a long story short I recently bought a used 2012 Jeep Wrangler, while driving it off the lot and on the freeway home it caught on fire and blew up, this all happened on veterans day of last year. All I gotta say is F$%# Jeep & Chrysler they are a shady company and there vehicles are crap. Not going to get into any legal details what happend and whats going on but this is my main reason for getting a Tacoma. All I gotta say is I'm happy with the truck and looking to move on with my life and with my new Tacoma.

    Probably not going to mod anything crazy as of now, I just want to kinda enjoy it stock for awhile since Ive fixed up every vehicle Ive ever owned. Did order some weather tech floor mats today.

    anyways thats it!!!!

    Thanks! I know I said i wasnt going to mod anything, but already looking for stuff to buy cant resist! I gotta get used to how slow the truck is or is it just the 4x4 version feels sluggish somewhat. Before the Jeep, I had a trailblazer SS not comparable to the tacoma but it does feel like it doesnt accelerate that fast.

    Coming from fast cars as well, the Taco does feel kinda slow, yet I believe the engine need breaking in and moved to what in Mexico is called "premium" gas which is like the regular over there in Cali and it gets off the line a little better, but then again its a heavy vehicle and personally I din't buy to go fast but comfortable and load up dogs, bikes and stuff I don't regularly get to carry :) so enjoy, keeps us posted and post pics!
