    That's exactly what I experienced... And I had to be on the paved road at 30... But, like I said earlier, they do make it easy to fish tail and do doughnuts... :D

    I really really like the new interior.. I wish there was more than just the interior to persuade me to trade in to get one.

    You know, at first I wasn't a fanof the new front endbut after seeing it in MGM I actually like it. Definitely digging the interior. Steering wheel is sick.

    Welcome to TW

    Let the modding begin!

    Nope... Just 6'0"... There is not that much room in the back, but it works... I don't have to ride back there, so its no matter to me... :D

    This is my second taco (1st was a 2010) and when I saw this one, I had to have it! My wife wasn't too happy about it... But she'll get over it.. haha!

    I love this one so much more than the other... The MGM is beautiful!!! There will definitely be some modding going on though... Let the good times begin...

    Thanks for all the love...

    I hope this isn't considered a thread hijack...but...here is my first taco....picked it this past Saturday.....got a little feedback so far.....some feel the long bed doesn't look as good as the short bed and others don't care for the running boards. For me, the long bed was a must for function, although I agree the short beds look cool too. I like running boards, especially the black and not the chrome. Only gripe I have is the black on the grill and the lower valance are not the same shade of black...the valance is a bit lighter in color...anyways....just wanted to share pics of my new ride.

    I'm not mad at yah... I understand the excitement. I noticed you have the turn signals in the mirrors... I wish that was an option for mine... Oh well... maybe in a few years, I can upgrade when they are available to get cheaply. How many miles did it have when you got it? Mine had 19!! I love the new car smell too...

    Enjoy bud!!!

    I'll just have to watch to see what people do. There are a serious amount of very intelligent and creative people on here. I forsee a sticky with a write up on how to add those to a taco with out them. I'm patient. I can wait...

    When are you getting your '12 Nathan?

    Thanks. I guess the TRD Sport comes with the turn signals on the mirrors. Mine had 10 miles on it...exactly....but I had to drive 330 miles to get the exact truck I wanted....it was worth it to me.

    Enjoy your new truck...it looks awesome.

    My dealership actually drove from Hagerstown, MD to some where in TN and had it trailored back to the dealership. Saved like 500 miles... But, as soon as I got it, I had to haul ass to GA for a class, then drop some shit off at my 'rents house in FL and now I'm back in GA.

    So 16 days ago, it had 19 miles on it. Now it has 1803. :(

    Whatever... I'm going to drive this thing until it falls apart. So it don't matter...

    I love the damn thing!!!

    Enjoy yours!!!
