    Hey everyone, new here and new to tacomas. Just picked up a 2014 2.7l 5speed access cab last week! I've had quite a few jeeps in the past (XJ's, TJ's, ZJ's) but have never owned a Tacoma or a Toyota in general.
    I traded in a 2013 civic for it...only had the civic for 7 months before i realized I made a huge mistake and that I'm not a sedan guy at all, especially with all the hunting and fishing I do. Decided I needed a new vehicle that got decent gas mileage (I drive 30k miles a year), would be reliable, and double as a commuter and a hunting and fishing rig. I used to love jeeps, but gas mileage is really bad and the new model reliability is terrible, I refuse to buy a new Chrysler product. Always loved the looks of the Tacoma, seemed like a great truck, never heard a bad thing about them so I went and test drove a couple. Fell in love with a metallic grey 2.7 manual access cab and said goodbye that civic. Only had the truck for a week now but i love this thing, looking forward to being a Tacoma owner for a long time!

    Nice rig!

    Welcome to TW. There is no end of information to be had here to help you maintain, fix and mod your new Taco.

    What does Toyota claim for mileage with your model and engine?
