    After 15 years finally parted ways with my 2003 Ram 1500 4x4. Sold the camper because we never used it and didn't need a truck that big but knew I still wanted a truck. LOVED the look of the new Tacoma. A little concerned about the reviews and transmission issues with the 2016. A test drive was all it took. Now the proud owner of a white 2017 Tacoma Sport double cab long bed. Two weeks and 700 miles in, not complaints and an average of 20.5 MPGs. A huge upgrade from the 12.5-13.0 MPGs i was getting with the old Ram. Looking forward to spending hours looking over TW. Cheers!
