    My wife had her heart set on an SUV with 3 rows for over a year. I really wasn't into it but it was going to be her vehicle so I didn't try too hard to change her mind. I would joke that she should get a truck, she would be hot in it and it would be very useful. She would just glare at me and say 'NO!'
    Well we went to Toyota to look at Highlanders and she went off with our son and came back, "Hey, this Tacoma over here is really nice, I love the color." I looked at her confused. She says, "Your dad always talks about how much he likes them so I looked." I tried to contain my excitement as best I could.
    After a test drive the adult in me told her she better sleep on it as she had her heart set on an SUV. I got a call at work the following day... "Guess where I'm going and what I'm going to do when I get off work!!"
    Yes!!!! I'm so happy. It's hers but I'll be the one modding it and making it even more bada$$. With her approval of course.
    WAAAAHOOOOO!

    Congrats to you and your wife. I love it when a plan comes together. That is a great color combo, that interior goes well the quicksand.
    You got yourself a good one there, both truck and wife.

    Please don't put big ugly tires and black rims with a lift like 90% of the people on here do.

    No lift for this! The look it has now is great. Plus I know all the headache that goes along with big tires and suspension after having a couple jeeps.
