Like the title says, had a pretty built Tacoma that I loved overlanding with, but with a newborn and everything that comes with her I needed more space. Not to mention I was getting 15mpg on the taco, now the 22 mpg on the Tundra is a god send. I enjoyed Tacoma World a ton, so looking forward to learning about my new truck here. More tundra pics to come.

Cannot agree more. I miss the 4x4 and capability of the taco but I drive highway 99% of the time. So whenever I miss it I just turn up the JBL, power up the vented seats, and let the air come in through the pano roof and back window and that all goes away! Huge upgrade. Not to mention the taco was an absolute dog.

Welcome and greetings from Minnesota. Nice rigs, I passed on doing a trade in with my dealer for my old 4RUNNER. Sold it on Craig’s list in less than a day for more than they offered. You get lucky once in a while.

I should have been patient and gone that route, but oh well new truck! And frankly, I got so tired of the scam calls and e-mails I just didn’t want to deal with it anymore.

I don't know why, but whenever I see that front end of that tundra, this is what it reminds me of:

That tacoma youve traded looks better in my opinion.
