    Hi All, I just traded in my 11 Camaro 2LT/RS for a used 2010 Tacoma TRD with less then 8,600 Miles on it. Call me crazy but I did it... This is my first truck and my first Toyota, sooo I have a lot to learn from you all!!

    If you have any tips on the best Oil and all that good stuff I could use 'em.

    Also for those who live in AZ on the East Valley any recommendations on a good dealership?

    Thanks :D

    Hey I just meet you
    and this is crazy,
    but you made a good call
    by ditching the camero maybe :)

    Make sure to keep an eye on the Az section for meets and what not. Welcome to TW from Chandler!

    Thank you, I Loved My Camaro, it would have been a great 2nd car, not to practical as an only vehicle. The dogs and quad didn't fit too well....lol

    Your truck is looking sharp. The carbon fiber is a really nice touch...

    Thanks for turning me onto the AZ section I didn't know there was one....:cool:

    Thanks, you are one of the few who like the carbon fiber and didn't try calling me a ricer :)

    And yeah subscribe to that Az section. Most of the time we are just bullshitting but we do have some pretty awesome meets and the Az peeps are pretty cool :thumbsup: Plus we all like working on trucks/cars so if you ever find yourself in a pickle post in there and someone will help you out fast.

    And yes, getting dogs into a Camero, not so easy.. Getting a quad into it, good luck!

    Welcome! From my experience I'd say stay away from Big Two, I had some bad times with them with my 4Runner and also when I started looking at Tacomas. I ended up getting mine from Earnhardt, and although they haven't been perfect their management has always made it right. I'll admit I have a minor distrust of dealerships though...

    Have fun!

    Oh Ugh, going to the BIG TWO on thursday for an oil change, some tire recall and for an all over look around to make sure all is good. I looked at a Tacoma there a couple of months ago and the low balled me so incredibly bad on my Camaro I handed him back my bottle of water and said "Have a Good Day" LOL Guess they thought I didnt do any research before I went in....

    I have a major distrust in the dealerships in this area... Chevy having the worst. I was Very Happy with Berge Mazda, but obviously I dont have that car anymore either...

    I'm sure I will have a ton of questions, and if there is any meets I would like to join in...

    Thanks all for the warm welcome!!!

    I take my truck to big two, its also where I bought it. Service is ok. I'd suggest you talk to Frank as he is the only guy who really is helpful that I've found there.

    I do suggest to mark your oil filter to make sure that they really did change it. not sure if Big Two pulls those scams, but another dealer in the area did pull that scam on my moms truck already.

    Welcome from San Tan Valley, Lynn. I bought my Taco from Big Two off the San Tan 202 and Gilbert. Had a great experience there. Check out the dealership. It's pretty cool.
