    Hi, new Tacoma owner here. We've owned a 2000 Camry since new, but this is our first Tacoma: the 2009 Double Cab PreRunner SR5. It's more-or-less fully loaded except it is 2WD and no satellite radio. I paid $26,700 + tax & title, and got 2.9% financing through Toyota. So far I'm lovin' it.

    Cadd.

    Thanks, Chris.

    Back in the mid 60's we lived out by Luke AFB. I've still got my old Dad's Scout which we used to use 4-wheeling out in the White Tank Mnts.

    She could use a little work these days.

    It's a 1963 Chassis, but we put a '67 body on it around 1973, as the original had rusted through when we were stationed in Minnesota & Utah.

    Thank you all for the warm welcome.

    I intend to drive this mostly when it's raining and I can't ride my motorcycle to work, or to tow my little boat on the rare occassions I get to go fishing, or on those rare occasions where I actually need a truck to go buy something big.

    At least that's my plan, but then you know how plans are... ;-)
