New guy & TRD Sport in Phoenix

Hey everyone, just picked up a 2015 TRD Sport 4x4 w/ Nav/JBL in Phoenix. I am really liking it; I traded in a 2015 GTI that I loved (longtime VW guy) but it was time to get a vehicle that is more in line with my hobbies outside of cars, and that I didn't need to worry about in the future (the car I traded in was actually a VW replacement for the lemon'd one I originally bought in January).

Anyway, here's the truck. I debadged it before it even got to my driveway and am not regretting that; I could not believe how much difficulty I had seeing as the truck had 35 miles on it..Toyota uses some serious adhesive for the door/tailgate badges. Pulled off the atrocious mudflaps yesterday, and I have a Thule 822XT bikerack for the bed and a short antenna coming in the mail this morning. Eventually I will do a small lift with 5100s and a downsize to 16's but that is a few months down the road. In the mean time, I'm just going to enjoy my stock gas mileage while I can.

Took it out for a long 100 mile trip yesterday, got some decent time in off pavement.

 

Welcome!

Congrats on the truck. I had a 2010 GTI 6MT. Great car and tons of fun to drive. But I spend too much time off pavement for a car. Plus the Tacoma is more reliable for sure. Be careful with getting 16 inch wheels. Some don't fit over the brakes. I'll trade you my TRD OR 16 inch wheels off my 2015 if you want. I'm in Tucson.

 

Congrats on your new Tacoma and welcome!
