    It's been a few weeks now, but it's still brand new! lol

    I'm coming from a 2012 Tacoma. I felt like I needed something bigger, so... I did it.

    I was thinking about getting one, but didn't feel like the time was right. That same day, I got a call from a sales rep. He was following up with me about the Tacoma and introducing himself. The gentleman I initially bought the Tacoma with wasn't at the dealership any more. /shrugs.

    I made an appointment and decided to at least take a look at what they had, deals, etc. That first meeting was decent, couldn't really get to the numbers I was set on. Left with at least a decent impression from the "new guy". I was basically going to leave it be though. I had numbers that I wasn't willing to budge on at all.

    Almost a week goes by and I get a call from the rep again. He said they got the numbers where I wanted them. I went back up there expecting some shady tactics lol. Nope. Ended up with the numbers actually being a little lower than what I aimed for. Left a couple hours later with my beauty!

    Oh, into thread... lol. Middle aged, retired law enforcement (medical retire due to car hitting me on traffic stop). Married, and have three kids. Been a football (soccer) player since I could walk, and still love my American Football (Steelers fan). I play guitar, not very well after the TBI from the accident, but I can still enjoy trying.

    That being said, I love my Tundra lol.

    I'm a scouser.. Liverpool fan to the bone. That's where I lived when I was a young lad. I've been in the USA since '87 though. Coming here from England was disheartening lol. "Soccer" was almost non-existent except for the small recreation teams.
