    Hello all,

    I’m jumping over here from Tundra world. Last week I traded in my beloved 2012 Tundra Dbl cab 4.6 purchased new, for a 2018 White Tacoma limited. I wanted the Tacoma 8 years ago but the Tundra was actually cheaper to buy. Over time I grew tired of the size of it. I use it as a truck but not on a daily basis and I don’t pull very often. The Tundra was a base model and the Limited Tacoma is loaded which is nice. I’m getting used to the smaller truck with less storage (I was carrying stuff around for years that I never used anyway). Early observations are the Tacoma is more fun to drive being quicker and nimbler. It’s also noisier with a little more harsh ride. I can hear the engine and feel the road where as the Tundra was a little numb and muted. Either or can be nice depending on the day. The Tacoma has some squeaks and rattles I’m not accustomed to also. It only has 25k and I can’t imagine it was beat to hard in that time. My wife has a 2020 4Runner, which rides a bit nicer than the Tacoma also. Overall I love the truck, but it’s taking some time to get used to.
    Thanks for reading. Ryan
