    Just purchased my truck about a month ago. Traded in a Silverado 2500 LTZ for it. No longer needed a bigger truck and always liked the Tacomas. Picked up a new silver SR. It came with the bed mat and lights along with tailgate lettering. So far I’ve added window tint, glove box organizer, console tray, tailgate lock, driving lights and a hard tri-fold bed cover. I have to say the simplicity of the truck turned me on to it. Doesn’t have dozens of buttons and options I never used. Already took it on a long road trip and was very comfortable, seat area is comparable to the 2500. Need to keep it on the road to wear out the tires so they can be replaced with a bigger better option.

    SR is a 4 cyl, right?

    Do a lot of research before selecting with 'bigger better'. You can quickly upset the happiness apple cart with the wrong choices, especially if the focus is an 'agressive look' as opposed to a real need.

    Welcome!
    The big boats are nice at times,,, but so is having a mid sized truck to scoot around town. Not as small as they used to be, but still much smaller than the bloat.

    Welcome. I'm a newbie to the forum but not Toyota's. I have been driving them personally since 1982 and between personal ownership and company work trucks, have 940,000 to 960,000 miles behind the wheel of 4x4 Toy's. Do the regularly scheduled maintenance and you will not be disappointed.
