    2021 White Tacoma SR 4x4 Double Cab
    I just purchased our second ever new car and my first ever truck! We just paid off my old used car and our 2017 Ford Focus so decided to go with a truck. I grew up in a Chevy household with my grandpa driving Silverado's as long as I was alive but I wanted something efficient reliable that also looked good. After a lot of research I landed on a 2021 Toyota Tacoma SR with 4x4 and a double cab and it is stunning and the warranty that came on it is incredible. The double cab was a must for us because of our very large Make doberdane that loves car rides. Unfortunately every single TRD Pro was sold out or pre sold and the city I live in had backorders of several months.(would have extended the budget for a pro) But, like the planets aligning we were able to find the one remaining Tacoma in the entire city under our price point of $35k for a non TRD Tacoma.

    We just recently purchased property out in the country off of one of the roughest dirt roads I’ve ever seen and taking the Ford Focus down there was a risky play every time. We will be definitely getting some mud on the paint and using it for quite a bit of hauling as we develop our property but I could not be happier! I am glad to be a new member to the community!

    Sorry about that! I thought I did attach a photo! Photo now attached from our country property and man it was fun to take this down the road less travelled. There’s a backroad into the property after you hit the gate and it was a wash out yet again and it was fun navigating it.
