    Hi! I've had several Tacos and finally got a 2018 Tundra. Black metalflake, TRD Off Road. Man, I can't believe how nice this truck is. And all the bells and whistles. I'll be reading the manual for days!
    My better half has an 18 4 Runner, so obviously we are a dedicated Toyota family.
    We are in western North Carolina, originally from Ohio until we retired. We hope to put a camper in the back, and enjoy some back country camping.

    Welcome to the forum.:D

    I've never owned a Tacoma, although I had a 1997 4Runner for 7 years.
    I'm now in a rental 2021 Tacoma for the last month while my 2014 Tundra is in the shop waiting for stolen cat replacements to come in.

    The Tacoma is OK, but it is cramped and it sits too low.
    Looking forward to getting my Tundra back.

    We're gonna need a pic of your Tundra to make your welcome official..:p


    I do miss my 2005 DC.
    If a national chain tire and battery place wouldn't have messed up the front end, I'd still be driving it..:thumbsup:
