    Sounds like the OP has buyers remorse. He made an impulse buy and now the bling that first attracted him doesn't mean as much anymore and he's thinking of what he really wants in a truck. When I first started looking at Tacomas I only wanted a 2wd 4 cylinder 5 speed regular cab. Then I thought long and hard and realized that this would be probably my only new vehicle in my life so I changed my mind. I bought a double cab longbed SR5 with the 4L and the automatic 4X4. I think if the TRD Sport had 4X4 we wouldn't be having this conversation.

    I am going to put a different spin on this by saying that no matter what the OP decides, he is still going to be a winner because he will still be driving one of the best trucks on the road.

    By the way I'll be turning 50 next June so 46 isn't that old. I just can't find my Bengay or my hemroid cream(don't ever get the 2 confused).:eek:

    Unfortunately I used to work with a person (gentleman) who looked "A LOT" like this individual ... unfortunately he wasn't very good at his (our) job.

    SEND HIM TO THE DUNGEON!!!!

    Yikes! Not sure I could keep a straight face.

    Saw a cat at Wal-Mart the other day who had a comb over from like his neck or back. I tried every angle to TW Live it but, just couldn't do it with him watching me...

    One of the funny things about this is that I got my off highway vehicle maps from a friend of mine who works for the Forest Service - who is in her 60's. After I was discussing what Sport might be able to do, she volunteered to send me the maps needed for the forest here above my house. A variety of trails to explore. The view is spectacular from the top of the ridge.

    Except when it is cloudy at the summit.

    Perhaps I could do a fog horn mod.
