    Just purchased a 2017 TRD 4x4 from the Chevy dealership I work at. I absolutely love it and am looking forward to learning all the new bells and whistles. Went from a 99 Taco to this beast!

    Oooohh, very nice... Congrats!

    Those Cooper tires look good, is that the stock size?

    I recently made a pretty similar leap, going from a '00 Tundra 4.7L to a '19 SR5 w/TRD package. (Wifey had a '00 Taco for awhile)

    The '00 was a great truck, but man what a difference it makes adding a couple more gears, gobs of HP & TQ, and some technology updates.

    Yeah, I think you'll be pleased.

    Thanks, and I’m pretty sure there the stock size. A little old man bought it new and barely drove it. She’s only got 34000 miles. I absolutely love it already. Grandson gets the taco ❤️

    Wow, that's a score!

    That'll last you awhile. My '19 CPO was a lease, bought it not quite a year ago with 20,000 miles.

    The '00 was bought new by my FIL, I pestered him for YEARS to sell it to me. I got it with 155K and drove it for 6 years and 50K miles with no problems. (Except for that LBJ I should've replaced before it failed)
    I'd say these should last us until we get those flying cars we were promised as kids. :rolleyes:

    I like the stance on yours. Looks a bit beefier with those tires. My only tiny gripe about this body style is that the tall fenders and bedsides kinda' makes the stock tires look small. (They're really not that small when you stand next to the tire) So they need a little more tire to fill out the wheel wells and look better proportioned.
