    Well, sadly I have to admit that I don't know anything about vehicles. My truck's name is Hector and unfortunately I don't know much about him except that I'm in love. :eek: I came across this site while I was searching for information about Tacomas. I've had mine since 05 but never tried to learn about them. I'm happy that I found this site as there seems to be an incredible amount of knowledge to gain. I absolutely love my truck, it's been with me cross country and all over the east coast and has never given out on me (knock on wood).
