    Hi all,

    I bought a 2012 Tacoma back in October and I've been lurking around here since then but I thought I would join and say hi. Getting the Tacoma has been a welcome change for me. I used to have a 05 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 but got tired of the mileage I was getting with that big Hemi V8. I sold it and bought a little 05 Corolla (my sister was selling it so I bought it from her). The mileage on that car was great but I missed having a truck. I put over 200K on that car and decided it was time for something new(ish). I saw this 2012 MGM PreRunner DCSB with the Off Road package and decided it would be a great compromise between my old 1500 and the Corolla. I live in eastern VA and we rarely get much snow and found I didn't really need 4X4 so I think this PreRunner with the rear locker will probably be all I need. Anyway, I'm glad to be back driving a truck and looking forward to learning some stuff from you guys about my Tacoma.
