    2017 Silver Tacoma TRD Off Road
    Just wanted introduce myself. I recently joined forum. I have been wanting a Tacoma for a few years. I am from West Virginia and know that years ago Toyota opened a plant in our state where Toyota engines are built. Ive always heard abour reliability of Toyotas and liked that too.
    About 1 month ago i traded my sons Ford Ranger for a brand new Toyota Tacoma SR. I was shocked to see how many features are included in base model. My son is beyond excited and proud of his 4x4 Taco. In riding in his truck i was really bit and wanted one worse. I have a 2016 Chev. Colorado Z71 with only 9,000 miles on it and seeing my sons Taco and how tough it lookee made my colorado look like am old mans truck. I had been debating leveling it becase it so low to ground
    Long story short about 2 weeks ago i traded my collrado for a 2017 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road. So im one months time i bought 2 new 2017 Tacoma's. We both are tickled to death with our trucks. So far i love this truck in everyway far more than i did the Colorado. Proud of my truck! Glad be part of Tacoma family.
    Weve tinted windows and otherwise i have no iimmdeiate plans for mine. My son wants some black wheels for Christmas to replace the base steal wheels. I ordered the TRD wheels of the team trail model and we are going take air dam off this weekend. Thanls for welcome.

    You might miss the power of your gm truck, but hopefully not much else.
    Welcome.

    I have the OR in silver as well, good choice.

    Welcome! I agree that the Colorado/canyon look like old man trucks compared to the 3rd gen Taco. So, in making the switch, you just shaved 10 years off your age. Congratulations!
