    Hello Tacomaworld! I'm a new Tacoma owner, coming from a Jeep TJ. Decided to go with the manual as I find it more engaging than auto. Been reading a lot on TW and find it very helpful. Just saying hi on my first post, looking forward to being apart of this forum.

    Welcome.

    Three suggestions for TW participation:

    #1 don't believe everything you read; be skeptical, especially with broad generalizing claims
    #2 the sky isn't actually falling; nothings perfect of course, but TW can be an Echo Chamber for stuff
    #3 ignore the trolls, we seem to get a bunch of them

    I didn't dig this color at first, but the more I see it the more I'm falling in love with it. Especially after a nice lift and wheels.

    I'm the same way with the color, once I saw it in person and gave it a few days, I find I like it. Chrome has to go and black wheels added. In due time it will come together.

    Love the color. My wife was not a fan so we settled on Metallic Gray. I like it also but the Sand is so unique... oh well.... Happy Wife... Happy Life... as the saying goes. Enjoy !!! I bought the automatic and it does take time to "adjust to"
