Hi All,

New 2017 Tacoma SR DC owner here. Ive always been a truck owner but first Toyota. Previously drove full sized Chevys, the last being a 2001. My wife bought the last two new vehicles so it was my turn.

I reseached the midsized GM twins, Toyota and Nissan. No need for full sized truck this time around. A local GM dealer had a used 2016 Tacoma TRD DC and of course the twins. This gave me a good opportunity to compare all 3 at once. The Tacoma was clearly the best choice for me. IMO, best looking, best stance and lowest cost at base trims.

I can't be happier with my Taco. Its been a long time where I enjoy driving. Yes it has its quarks but they all do. No intermittent wipers is one. But for a base Taco, it has more options than I was expecting.

So far I've added a BAK Industries BackFlip VP tonneau, WeatherTech floor mats and mud flaps. Parts to come are new wheels. I like Grid GD-4 in matte black with color matched inserts. Debating 265s but the 245s fill the wheel wells well. Im assuimg I should have the computer adjusted for the larger tire size? Lund Terrain HX nerf steps too. Since I dont have fogs, i want to install Rigid's Tacoma Mount Kit with LED lights.

This forum has been a great help and I hope to contribute.

Thanks
Aaron

 

Welcome to the madness that is TW.

 

Ha! Thanks.

 

Welcome from across the river!!

 

Congrats on your new Tacoma!

 

Glad it was your turn to pick and glad you're happy with your choice. The ability to compare three back-to-back was lucky!
Clearly your final choice matches ours, so you're obviously a genius. I'm going to look into those wheels and do like the no-drill Lund HX step myself.
Welcome and thanks for the intro!

 

Welcome to the Tacoma club my friend!
