    Hi all! So I have been wanting a new truck that was newer than my 2004 Expedition. Searching all the sites and all the brands from ford to the new chevy and gmc's to nissan titans and frontiers and ofcourse the Tundra and Tacomas. A friend has a Tacoma and loves it. So I really started obsessing on the Tacoma when I saw this 2015 with 3k on it. Yes only 3,000 miles. 2.7 5 lug with Doublecab.This is a great forum. Already learned so much. Put new tires on, on day 3.

    I guess they made very few. Whomever owned it before put the leer cap and rain guards on and had an alarm installed with remote start. I put 235/75 15s on and I think they look awesome. The 215 s looked ridiculous. The rear is pretty low so I ordered AAL and rear shocks. Love how this truck rides.

    Thanks for the welcomes. I was looking at a 2011 4.0 with 93k miles when I found this one for same price. Only a couple of days but I find myself driving it aimlessly and loving it. The ride is really smooth. I was looking for something smaller than the Expy. Funny thing is it is longer than Expy but a few inches narrower.lol.

    This forum is awesome and it is how I knew to get the 235s. No rubbing at all and looks just the right size. I don't want to lift the front just the rear. I think it sags due to the cap.

    Just goofing around on cars.com this morning I saw there is only one 2017 4cyl. Doublecab for sale within 100 miles. Also it looks like Toyota did away with the 5lug pattern last year.
