    Hello. New Tacoma owner from the Houston area. I was recently surprised by my wife with a Tacoma. I went in to the VA Hospital for surgery and while I was under she traded in my old car. She picked me up in a 2017 TRD Sport. I couldn't be happier!!!

    Total shocker! She had been plotting for a week! Even sent me a link to the truck!!! The only people who didn't know were my kids, fear of blowing the surprise they are 5 and 2, and myself. I thought it was the anesthesia!
