I bought an 09 TRD Off Road this summer and am way stoked! I was able to take advantage of the Cash for Clunkers program. I got the full $4500 for my 96 Ford Bronco. The Bronc was fun but got horrid mpg and the reliability was waning. I have been nothing but impressed with the off road capabilities off the Taco. I must admit it was confusing at first knowing which button to push and when to push it (locker, a-trac, vsc, airbags turn off, etc). I can't leave things stock for long though. Let the questions begin...
