Hello everyone,
Joseph here posting for the first time. I just got a 2016 Toyota Tacoma AC in Silver Sky Metallic. I am really loving this truck. I searched for months for a midsize truck, and looked at the usual suspects in this category (Colorado, Canyon, Frontier, etc.), except the Tacoma, because honestly I wasn’t sure we could afford one. None of them really blew me away. I was even going to wait for the new Ford Ranger to come out. Well one day my wife asks to borrow my car, a 2009 Escape to go have lunch with a friend. To my surprise she comes home a few hours later in the Tacoma, a present for my birthday! I was shocked to say the least. I asked her why and she said “I know you didn’t get any of those other trucks because you had your heart set on a Tacoma, so here you are”. She found a great deal at a local dealership we’ve done a lot of business with in the past. They actually had it sold but the deal fell through, so it was meant to be. Anyway, it’s a great truck and I’ve done some minor mods to it already.
