    Been a great truck so far! And it's not like I've babied it for the first 100K! I plow with it, I tow with it, the supercharger has talked me into more than one light-to-light challenge, and she's just taken it all in stride. Could not be more happy with my Taco thus far! :thumbsup:

    Picked my 2015 Double Cab Limited 4X4 Pyrite Mica this afternoon. Total of 102 miles. Love the thing, plus reminds of my old 1997 T100, only more sophisticated!

    ^You won't notice anything until a seal goes, then it's out for a rebuild...

    What's the reasoning behind roughly tripling the Canadian interval ?
