    On Sunday, I lost controlled of my TRD Sport when I hit some lose gravels. I went airborne and flipped several times. Although the TACO is totaled, it saved my life. I will be going back to a TACO.

    Thanks guy. I came out unscathed. No injuries at all. No pain at all. Just some scratches when I climbed through the windshield.

    I hit gravel on the shoulder of the road (country road) and over correct the truck. Fish tailed across the road, hit a ditch, went airborne, rolled several times, landed on the passenger side. Windshield was cracked so I kicked my way out.

    I flirted with getting a Tundra, but I ultimately decided to come back to the Taco. I'm looking at a TRD Sports Long Bed right now.
