Can we still be friends?

Well, I kind of knew this was going to happen eventually, but I traded in the Tundra. It was the best truck anyone could ask for, but it was just too much for my needs.
When I was a kid, I had a German Shorthaired Pointer that was by far the best dog I’ve ever had, but we had a small yard and he was just too much dog for us and so we regrettably gave him to someone with a ranch. In a way, the Tundra felt the same way. Incredible truck, but I don’t own a trailer and have never used it to one 10th of its capacity. I’m still sad and half way emotional over trading it it.
I replaced it with this. It’s like a mini me of my old truck. I swore off 3rd gen Tacos in 2016, but I got a 6 speed manual which seems to fix 99% of the issues.
I still want to hang around here if that’s ok. It’s crazy how attached I am to the good members of this forum. Tacoma world is great, but it’s a mob. This place feels like a close circle of friends.

 

We’ve got at least 1 @ColoradoTJ that doesn’t even own a Toyota! I even try to treat dodge owners with respect (not always easy) set your mind at ease and stick around!

 

congrats on the new addition ! manual seems to fix most of the issues on the 3rd gen taco. stick with us (no pun intended)

 

It's still a Yota! Even if it wasn't, you'd be welcomed here man!
More Kevins the better!

Enjoy that Taco, they are beautiful as well!

 

Congrats. My wife recently picked up a 3rd gen Tacoma as well and for me the only way I let her do it was to get the manual. It was easy too once she test drove both, initially thought the auto wasnt too bad, then test drove a manual and was hooked, much better being able to control the little 3.5

 

Once a Tundra owner, always a Tundra owner. You’re in.

 

More wheeling for sure. Time to save up some $ using the money saved on payments for some King’s.

 

The GIF in your signature always cracks me up. Your always good here, congrats on the new truck .

 

I try to be wrong at least twice a year and it’s getting close to the end so I’m good!

 

Sick new Taco! There are times I miss my old 6spd Tacoma. Congrats on the new truck and I'm sure we are all hoping you stick around!

 

Congrats on the Tacoma! I accept all Toyotas equally. Just glad you didn't switch to a ford.

 

I bought a new truck, not a sex change lol.

 

What part of WA are you from? I grew up in Coeur d Alene

 

Who said you had to leave??? Stay!

 

I'm in Spokane. I have spent a lot of time in CDA and north Idaho in general.

 

LET'S GET READY ..............TO RUMBLE

 

Right on bud. At least still a Toyota. Congrats on new ride.

 

If you're happy, we're all 95% happy as well.

 

Congratulations on the new truck.

 

Congrats on they new truck. More projects yaay. I would’ve gotten a taco if I didn’t pull a trailer.
A buddy at work has a new one and I can’t talk him into getting it stuck in the sand to try out crawl feature.

 

Nice looking Taco! If I fit in one I’d probably own one. At 6’5”/ 250# it ain’t happening.

Nice choice and all the best....mod On! and of course hang out

 

I’ve been thinking of doing the same but with a second gen taco. Like Patriot said though, I’m not sure I’ll fit well in one.

Good luck with the new ride!

 

I’m crying harder than when my wife left cuz I still have feelings for your truck, but I’ll recover just knowing she’s gonna make you happier

 

By all means stick around. MY bubby has a Tacoma and I tried to convince him to get a Tundra but he felt it was too big. He ended up with a nice truck but got the auto and had to add a plug and play mod to get the power he wanted. With the new calibration the Taco is actually quite peppy. We can all learn from each other.

 

We still love you.

Dope color on the taco, btw.
