    I've lurked around on these forums for a while and researched till my head exploded. I have been truck shopping for a while and was considering a diesel. Too expensive for what they are, high maintance, and diesel is more expensive. I ruled it out. I was considering a new f150 but I couldn't justify spending the money because they are crazy expensive for what they are. I decided to look at toyotas. I wanted the reliability and I do not tow a lot and if I do, it's not heavy. I am not new to the brand and know the reputation it holds. I considered a tundra, but I don't need a full size rig. I decided on a Tacoma. I had 3 things I wanted with the truck. It needed a long bed, 4 door, and backup camera. I am a fan of the pyrite mica color and sure enough, the dealership had one I wanted. Long negotiations (done by lawyer fiancée who is ruthless) later, we ended up picking the truck up for just above invoice. I am excited and have wanted a truck for the longest time. I almost got the TRD charger for it, but they wanted waaaaayyy too much for the charger alone ($5700). Overall I'm happy with my new truck and will be adding things to it soon.

    I plan on it, but I can get it myself for much cheaper.
