    IMG_1870.jpg Found this site after several failed test drives in the '17 Tacoma. As others have mentioned, the transmission has issues. Drove the Tundra, which restored my faith in Toyota products again. Currently searching for a 2017/2018 model #8341 in Quicksand or Cement. Will start negotiating around Christmas, and see what the New Year brings...
    May or may not keep the FJC.
    Thanks for the site.

    Quicksand - even faster than white. Quick is in the name. And almost as classy as silver. LOL
