    Had a gorgeous Quicksand TRD OffRd Tacoma DblCab. But screw that feeling of being cramped and having a useless backseat! Not to mention, from what I can tell my new(to me) Tundra is getting very close to the same mpg my Tacoma got. That 18-23 that's on the window sticker of a Tacoma is WAY over-stated! I've drove about a tank so far, and I have the 38gal tank, and the dash says I'm getting almost 17 with town driving. I can live with that. Anyway, lovin this truck!

    Nice choice of color! I really wanted a Tacoma PRO with a manual transmission, but the seating position was downright awful!

    I found an '18 with 19k miles and was certified. I traded for $2500 diff trading in my Tacoma. I think I did pretty well. Book value was about $5k diff.
