    Hi all! My first new vehicle is a 2017 Tacoma Off Road Manual. Just swapped out the chrome grill for a $140 Ebay TRD Pro grill today, looking great

    If I had special ordered I would have gone long bed, but manual transmission was #1 on my list, #2 was the Quicksand color. so far I haven't been disappointed!

    My first too.
    The stock tires are definitely weak, basically no traction.

    That’s exactly why I bought myself BFGoodrich KO2. A little more beefier and more traction :)

    Ok guys, new to this site but not new to Toyota. Bought a brand new 1993 garnett pearl, 5-speed, ex cab v6 4x4 in 93, obviously, put every mile on that truck, 245k. Wife wanted a new SUV but we drove into a lot just looking around and they had a one owner 2012 tacoma double cab, 4x4 60k miles, barcelona red, tan interior automatic, from my area, clean carfax which showed dealer visits every 5k miles with all recommended service done at each visit. Guy took it in right before he traded it, had it detailed and all service done. Thing looks brand new on the inside. Long story short, its in the basement, wife loves it to.

    Now it needs those 2" spacers in the front struts, anybody have experience with the ride quality after those are installed?

    Thanks for listening.

    Greetings all. Just about done with the trimmin's (tray on cab next). I passed the baton on my '07 2500HD to son and no longer needing the big-bad-mamma-jamma, opted for the Taco. Oohh's and Aahh's aside, My last Toyota truck was an '81 diesel.....decades ago in the Army. This bad boy will work well on the ranch out here in the western part of the Republic of Texas. BTW- Pelfreybilt iron all around (Those folks Rock!!!).

    Hi everyone, new to Toyota. Got real tired of Chrysler products breaking down. Just picked up a new 2017 Tacoma sport. Psyched about it and excited to drive it when I can. Here's a pic freshly detailed.

    Not new to toyotas, we have a ‘16 SR5p 4runner so I thought this would be a great addition next to it.

    2008 TRD OR DCSB black sand pearl
    126k miles on it (1 owner)
    Paid $18k for it.

    As soon as I replace the rear block lift with a ful OME setup I’ll change these awful wheels.

    Greetings,this actually my 2nd Tacoma this year. My first one decided to take a swim this past August in Houston.. water went up to the dash but it still turned on the first time(tow truck driver moved it). Exhaust spit out water for a minute...but it ran. I picked up an inferno off-road this past September and plan to do an OME lift/new tires next year.

    As the thread title says, this is my first new vehicle purchase, too. I went with a '17 double cab, long bed, TRD Sport in quicksand. It seems I'm in the minority but I got a rwd because I really don't have a regular need for the 4x4 and I can always get a full-size off the farm when needed. I have already enjoyed learning from others on the site and hope to be able to contribute more over time!
