    Hey guys,

    New here. I am currently considering buying a new Tacoma and I thought I'd join.
    I'm a long time Toyota aficionado and we currently have a '07 FJ Cruiser, a '84 Land Cruiser and a '77 Hilux. I also daily drive a Subaru BRZ, which is a Toyota in disguise.

    The last couple of weeks the weather here was such (this morning: -22F) that I had to revert to the FJC for daily duty. It's running strong and problem free, but we've had it for 10 years now so I wouldn't mind upgrading to a Taco.

    The Hilux is a great summer vehicle but is being parked inside for the winter. We do use it in the summer and it has been great.
    And I have had the Land Cruiser for years an it is basically part of the family. It sleeps outside, but does not get much use lately.

    I am currently eyeing a 2018 TRD PRO, preferably in Cavalry Blue. They are hard to find and not to mention expensive so I might change my mind. And I have yet to see one in person.

    Thank you for letting me join.

    feel free to ask away and I'll be happy to upload some pics.
