    2017 Tacoma TRD Sport Blazing Blue Pearl
    Actually I don't own it yet but in less than 24 hours I'm taking ownership of a 2017 certified preowned TRD Sport edition with less than 8k miles on it and getting rid of my 2003 Ford F-150 STX POS edition that I bought new way back when. Spent much of my day at work lurking here until I got home to finalize setting up my account. Pretty sure this truck will remain low mileage as I'm far more often on 2 wheels namely my 2014 Yamaha FJR1300 or one of 2 other street bikes I own currently.

    I love travel and touring especially here in the US. In the past 2 years my g/f and I have covered miles in 32 states on a motorcycle. I live in south central PA but love seeing more of this great country. Thanks for having me and I hope to be able to contribute something here as I do on the FJR forums. These boards are a fantastic source of info and a huge help to owners.

    From a fellow rider (2015 R1200RT) you will love your rig. After 10 years in a second generation Tacoma, I bought a 2017 DCSB Sport last January, no regrets.

    Thanks boogie! Picked it up last night and drove it to work this morning as several coworkers wanted to see it right away. Lots of compliments on the Blazing Blue Pearl paint color. Big change from the F-150 I'd had for years. Reading through the owner's manual and cruising the forum while we're slow here.
