    I just bought my truck new about a month ago and I love it. A few years back I drove my dads 01 tacoma prerunner. I drove his truck for about a year after driving it knew I wanted one, I bought like two other cars knowing I wanted a tacoma (big mistake)but I finally bought my own taco. No doubt 4x4 trd . At first I couldn't decide on sport or off road but at end I got the off road and mainly I would have to say it's because of the beefier tires and the locker of course but either way I like both.
    Since I'm new to this forum stuff I don't really know how to post pics but as soon as figure it out I'll post some .by the way I would like to see some trd pros I haven't really seen many since I been checking out this forum

    I'm with you. I just bought my 2015 TRD OffRoad yesterday and I'm glad I finally did. Great truck, I went with the manual tranny.

    Congrats on a great decision! On the truck and the forum. This is a great resource for anything Taco related: maintenance, modifications, BS, off-roading, streeting, whatever. They are super-helpful and friendly. I say they because I'm new myself.

    Your dad had good taste in trucks, btw. I've got the same one :D

    How familiar are you with tacoma trannys? It's a lot tuffer to drive than a small sports car a civic or celica for example. The first night it took me a while to put my truck on reverse lol

    It took me a couple of times to remember that reverse is located upper left because it's a 6-speed. It's just like how Volvo used to do it. I really like the manual, it's not as bad in traffic as I anticipated because 2nd gear goes so smooth at low speeds. It's really geared for offroading as well.

    Very cool. It's a great place but right now it's hot and humid, we're not used to this type of heat.
