    I've been a long time fan of Toyota's and have owned several, from my wife's corolla, Solara convertible, '12 4Runner and current '14 4Runner to my '87 Toyota truck, '13 Tundra Platinum crew, '15 Tundra 1794 crew, so it was a no brainer that we'd put our son in a Toyota. We went to a local dealer, test drove a '14 Tacoma double cab, but as we stepped out of the test drive, we saw our new '18 Tacoma TRD Offroad Double Cab. We had no idea that it actually only had 1 mile on the odometer until we drove it off the lot! Needless to say, our son was in absolute shock when we surprised him and actually peeked out the window the next morning to make sure it wasn't a dream.

    Welcome to TW. Nice truck, nice color. So is the new truck for you or your son? And are you considering taking on any adoptions?

    Welcome! Man, I wish I was your son at his age. My parents handed me the keys to a 95 Ford Taurus when I started driving/high school.

    Me too!! I was driving a pale green 98 oldsmobile, four door, with matching green velour interior and green leather top. My schoolmates all called it the "Hooptie". I was thankful though! It meant freedom!! lol

    Yep. Green on green interior for me too. Parents could afford to get me a new car but I was their first and got all the hard life lessons ;) Was parking next to Porsches, WRXs and H2s at high school with my family sedan. Lol
