2011 Tacoma - new from Western PA

Hello,
Long time owner, first time poster. This is my 4th Toyota pickup (only vehicles I have owned since 1993). Started with an '87 reg. cab, 2.4L, 5spd 22-RE. Next, I had a 95 then 98 (both black, reg. cab, 5 spd, 2.7L). The 4-bangers didn't have the pulling power for my 6x12 trailer, so this year I made the upgrade. Here is my 2011 that I picked up in April of this year. Due to a small hole in the frame, Toyota was kind enough to hand me a check for $9K for my 1998!! This is what it looked like when I drove it off the lot.



First weekend. At 200 miles I hooked up my buddy's trailer and headed for the woods. That is also the day I removed the useless soccer mom tires that came stock.




This is why I opted for the V6 with the full exhaust. I trailer the trikes all over the country. This is the beginning of a trip to Indiana in June. Some minor sagging?!




The old Sport Tent doesn't quite fit the new truck. Hence the EZ-up while camping.




I will try to dig up some pics of my previous trucks and post them too. This site has been very helpful so far. I will, of course, be cutting my front mudflaps before I back over them. Also, need to replace the useless stock stereo (almost embarrassed for Toyota on that one).

I plan to drive this truck for 15 years or 200,000 - whichever comes first!
Thanks for looking. I will also post up a few other pictures in the ATV section.

 

Nice setup you have there, welcome to TW

 

Welcome to TW!!!

 

Nice truck - love the black!

 

welcome from another burgh area guy! what dealership did you get it from? got my 08 from baierl in the spring

 

welcome. the truck's being put to good use

 

I checked it out. Pretty sweet. I might need to do the armrest mod too since I already burned a cigarette hole in mine. DOH!!!!

I also race MX. Just a little differently than you. ATC250R.

 

I got it from the Washington Auto Mall. I live very near Baierl, and work near Moon, but neither dealer had what I was looking for.

My requirements were black, V6, and access cab. Washington had the only one in the area. It was kind of a long drive, but well worth it for the truck I wanted.

 

Congrats and welcome to TW from Sparks, NV
