Finally got a new Tacoma.

I haven't taken it offroading yet. To be honest I thought I would be using 4WD much more than I have. The neighborhood roads around here are pretty icy after snows, even days later, and really that's the only time I feel a need for 4WD. That and driving in a snowstorm.

+1 on the Subaru. I've had an Outback and 2 WRX's and as long as the snow isn't calf-deep they are the best for winter driving.

 

Grats and welcome!

 

Very nice, and short. I went to two dealers for that truck, without any luck. Second said he'd do a double cab for $31,100, so I went with it.

Just noticed yours is 2wd. Mine is 4wd V6/auto.

Is it a Texas truck?

 

Congrats on your new truck. Enjoy!

 

Congrats and welcome to the club. Your friend has a nice looking Rubicon Wrangler.

 

Stick or auto?

 

Stick or auto?

Automatic. I have a 350Z with a 6 speed manual when I get the itch to shift and don't have to deal with stop and go traffic.

 

Congrats on a great truck!

 

Thanks, I'll tell him you said so. It does a great job of carting me around to dealerships.

 

Very nice truck and welcome aboard!

 

Nice welcome .....now let's trade rear bumpers

 

Adding service department phone number in his phone

 

How much did you pay?

 

he might find he service department considers warranty work more of an inconvenience

 

Absolutely, if it wasn't a Texas build I wouldn't have bought it. No Mexico built pickups for me, even if they are good.

 

Removing the Green valve caps so no one thinks I was dumb enough to pay for Nitrogen in my tires.

 

Sweet!

 

2wd Perfect, no need to worry about extended axles and ground clearance when you go long travel.

 

Ah yes, the nitrogen in the tires scam. My wife was embarrassed when I started raising my voice in the dealership when the dealer tried to charge me 150 bucks for nitrogen. They did back down when I told them they could bleed all four tires and I would bring my pump to fill it up with the free 80/20 mix.

 

Nice looking truck. I got the same one too.
