    Hello Taco world! My name is Mark. I just moved here in Tacoma, Washington. I needed a new ride so why not a Toyota Tacoma? I got myself a black TRD off-road. In the last three weeks I logged over 2,500 miles traveling to Mount Rainier, Olympic National Park and Seattle metropolis. I've explored several back roads that don't even appear in my Taco's on-board GPS. I frequently monitored my fuel consumption and as advertised by Toyota, my Taco averages 21.5 on highway and around 19 city. Great truck! I drove it on gravel and rocky roads and I am so impressed with its ride. Smooth like a luxury car but tough like a truck. The only issue that I have is its GPS. There are so many back roads that don't appear in its on-board GPS but is on my portable Garmin. I have my cheap Garmin attached to my window all the time and it works way better that the Toyota GPS.

    Alright, stop it! I know! Damn it's beautiful there! How's cost of living? Probably much cheaper than Austin.

    Welcome! Nice ride! Welcome to Toyota's shitty GPS. Just wait for an update, it'll only cost you about $150 :facepalm:

    Seriously though, look in the nav settings and be sure that the "unconfirmed roads" setting is ticked.
