    Well

    After 6 years and 300,000kms I decided to give in to my wants and bought a '13 Tacoma double cab TRD sport. Must say I am very happy with the truck after my first 3500km. Although the Ridgeline did everything I asked of it as a truck, from towing cars on trailers to going down ATV trails I wanted a change and have always like the Tacoma after having driven many miles in my friends '05 which currently has ~500,000kms.

    So hello all my fellow Tacoma owners!

    Here it is the day I test drove it.

    Here it is after being driven home through Ontario's winter:

    And beside the Ridgeline its replacing.
