    2018 Tacoma TRD Off-Road
    Hello! I just purchased a new 2018 Tacoma TRD Off-Road, manual. I guess demand for manuals is pretty low, so it's been sitting on the lot all this time. :( I purchased this truck primarily to replace my 2004 Ram 3500 diesel as a tow vehicle (!!), and for general purpose use. The Ram was just too much truck for my needs. I've always been a Toyota fan, so I'm really happy to be back behind the wheel of a Toyota truck again. I've also always been a fan of manual transmissions, so this truck was perfect. Some of my current and past vehicles:

    2016 Subaru BRZ (V8 swap) - current
    2002 Honda S2000 - current
    2004 Dodge Ram 3500 diesel
    1988 Toyota Truck manual
    2002 Lexus IS300 manual
    2008 BMW M3 manual
    2006 Lexus IS350
    2000 Subaru Impreza 2.5RS manual
    1994 Toyota Supra manual
    1988 Toyota MR2 manual
