    Hello everyone,

    Just wanted to introduce myself to the forum here. I live in Texas and I've always wanted to own a Toyota Tacoma. I've always admired the amazing reputation they have and I've always liked how they maintain their value unlike any other truck I've ever seen. I would check out the used car sites to try and find a nicely set up tacoma for a good deal, but the prices were just out of my price range. I've recently gotten in the financial position to get one, so I figured I'd might as well just get a new one. I picked up a 2017 Inferno Tacoma SR5 V6 4x4. I'm absolutely in love with it. I love the interior layout, and I'm planning on upgrading the wheels and tires to something a little more suited for off road.

    I was thinking of Black Method NV wheels with BFG K02 tires. I saw a picture of a nicely prepared one and I liked the look of the Method NV wheels on it. At any rate. I look forward to getting to know y'all, and learning more about Tacos.

    Christian

    Welcome aboard! Be prepared for the shit storm of people saying it's the worse truck in the world and they didn't have any problems with their old Rav4, Frontier, or Ridgeline! Guard up! Lots of good info here, but a lot of BS too! Steer clear of the BS!

    Haha, Thanks Ted, I'm sure it's as commonplace as any other vehicle thread, but I will definitely follow your advice. :)

    Well it is true, I never did have issues with my 10 year old Frontier with 150,000 miles on it. Hopefully Christian has better luck than many others have in their new 3rd generation Tacomas.

    Christian did you check it for the recall? Make sure your rear differential is not leaking!

    Sorry uncle Theodore but I'll have to raise the flag on you

    Yes I did, I brought it in immediately after hearing about it. Turns out it was resolved on my vehicle before I even purchased it. I had them re-check it and everything looked good.
