    Hello from North Texas. My wife and I live between Dallas and Fort Worth I am a old fart of 58 so I been around and owned a few Toyotas.
    Now on what I am driving I traded in my 2010 double cab TRD with the 5.7 beast engine with only 24000 easy driven miles on a 2009 access cab with the 2.7 and a 5 speed. It has 72000 miles on it.
    The dealer also had to give me some cash and throw some running boards in.
    This is my second Tacoma the first was a 2004 reg cab that was just too small.
    It is white and the flares are black it has brand new Goodyear wrangler tires.
    Pretty happy with it miss some of the Tundra perks like the variable speed wipers,the very large center console with the Glock compartment but I wanted a 4x4. It is alot more easy to park then the Tundra beast as well.
    I am still learning about it and hope to do some trail driving nothing too harsh no metal crushing stuff.
    I think I got the basic one not the SR5 because there is a place for fog light but it is blanked off. I also see a back up camera in the tailgate handle but no screen in the mirror. This fourm looks like it has some good people in it and I am glad I found it. Thanks for reading my post and if anyone knows what that back up camera is all about let me know.

    Hey, you got me beat by a couple of years!
    The back up camera is to see right behind you when you put the truck into Reverse... a screen appears in your rear view mirror (in the cab)... if equipped. They must use the same tailgate for all Tacomas, but the camera only works if you have the electronics and mirror for it. I have a TRD Tacoma, and it comes with fog lights and working back up camera.
