    Hey Everyone,
    New owner here, I leased a 15 Tacoma SR5 last week!

    I work for Ford and it was between an F-150 or a Tacoma. Always wanted a Tacoma so I decided to go with that.

    I've been browser a long time on these forums but today I wanted to finally say Hi!

    Yes sir
    Welcome, tons of guys out there in Socal and Norcal. I'm jealous of the amount of guys out that way; not many in my parts.

    Yep it seems to be 1 out of every 3 trucks I see on the road are Tacos out here.

    My wife seems to have taken a liking to it so now I drive her car more than the truck.
