    Hey TW,

    Looking to trade in my 06 Sierra 1500 crew cab for a taco. I fell in love with them while researching smaller trucks. I stumbled apon this forums and it further fueled the passion. I have already burnt countless hours searching it and learnt alot.

    I can't wait to officially join the club I just need to find a decent deal on one, the resale in Alberta seems quit high.

    -Mike

    Thanks for the welcomes

    Taco721 I'm having no problems finding nice 4x4 access cabs (lots of people prefer 4x4 for the winters up here) just not many double cabs for a decent price. For instants going to look at an 06 trd double with 81000km (50k miles), he's asking 24k for it. But it does look clean from the pics.

    Anyways I am not pressed for time so I hope something good comes my way

    Good luck to you too Taco721

    yeah i have found some just over priced. and one found some reg cabs and 6 speeds. i guess its just wear i live we don't get snow bad about the most we ever see in the valley is like 5" or 6" inches lol. so i guess thats why i see more pre runners and 2wd. people just dont need 4wd that bad. i have family in upstate NY about 30 min from Niagara falls. and like everyone has 4wd. and the people down here that have it don't want to get read of it. and thanks! same too you!
