    Wanted to introduce myself as I have been looking to purchase my first truck. I live near Denver, CO - enjoying some good snowboarding this year.

    Need a new daily driver as my car will currently cost more to repair than it is worth.

    I love to camp, hike, fish, snowboard, etc, so I will eventually build out the truck and use it as a launching pad for many activities. Any first gen tacos out there have a fully built out bed for these purposes?

    Thanks for the warm welcome everybody! Would this be a suitable place to post some trucks I am eyeing in order to get feedback on price and specific things to check on the vehicle before purchasing?

    I keep going back and forth between first gen and early third gens.

    Wanted to update TW with my new (to me) truck. 2016 AC AT with just over 91k miles on it. Tech/tow package, the works, but otherwise stock.

    Any suggestions on upgrades to start with or features I may not know about?
