    Greetings!

    I've never actually introduced myself in an online forum, but I've been lurking here long enough to know better. I'm another transplant from TW. I just purchased a 2019 Crewmax 4x4 1794 edition. Its replacing the 2005 Taco Double Cab Prerunner SR5 that I bought new almost 14 years ago.

    I'm actually afraid to say how long I've been lurking...I started getting the itch for a new truck when Toyota started teasing the third gen Taco (that's right, Winter of 2014). That's also when my wife was pregnant with kiddo #3 so I starting thinking about the Tundra too for the Crewmax backseat. I've been waiting to hear that Toyota is going to make game changing updates to the Tundra, but it just hasn't happened yet. Also, I wasn't convinced I really needed a full size truck and I was starting to think I might be happier with a new Tacoma. Since I had time off for Christmas, my wife and I went to the local dealer, trying to decide if we liked the new Taco. We test drove 1 Taco, then 4 Tundras over the next 24 hours, and 24 hours later signed the paperwork on my new 1794...maybe I'll make a thread about that later. The new Taco scared me into buying the tried and true, gas guzzling 5.7 engine. I can live without some of the latest tech stuff that I thought I wanted.

    Since I know someone will ask, pics below..One's the pic from the dealer website since I haven't taken delivery yet. Its getting the bed sprayed today. The other is of its little brother Taco.

    Nice rig! I just bought a leftover 18 Limited in the same cool color on Black Friday. Had been lusting over Tundra's for a few years. Wife said she was tired of hearing me complain about my 04 Silverado and to just go buy a new truck already. Next day it was in the driveway. :rofl:

    Oh and welcome from NC! Is that LKN??

    The dealership chain also owns a Ram dealership and they took it down to the Ram dealership. They used to use a Line-X place and apparently weren’t happy with the quality of work. I never got an answer on what type they used.

    That’s how my wife was too. She’s actually the reason we sprung for the 1794 too.

    It’s Lake Gaston.
