    Very nice. When I started selling Toyota's in 1969 the MSRP was $1300 and we got full price. Was given demos for the past 30+ years and I would always drive a Toyota truck. Love them.

    Nice truck!  I've been kicking around the idea of replacing our old Nissan Pathfinder with something new.  A pickup truck would be my most expensive Eggcessory purchase as it would be needed to haul around my Mini Max and Rtic 65! lol!

    Your new truck is beautiful.  Enjoy!  Great buy.

    Kick butt that's for sure! 23 years ago I started a new job in a new part of town. Soon thereafter I heard first hand stories of cars being keyed, hubcaps stolen, even original equipment wheels being stolen! I soon thought of buying a beater to drive there. However! I also remembered a rather strange sounding twist. That was pickups - even new ones - seemed to be reverted and never bothered! I bought a new Ford Ranger with extended cab and a stick shift on the floor. I recall I only paid like $17k for it. We both loved that truck before trading it we put 60k miles on it. That pick up was both fun to drive and economical. BTW I never had any vandalism! Moral to my story? Pick'em up trucks - even cheap ones - are great!

    You don't know where it is?  How long has it been since you logged on?  

    We have a thread, but the jest is as follows.

    I bought this little gem just over 2 weeks ago. Traded in my 11 for this. Payments were $18/ month LESS. I couldn't say no.

    In the past 30++ years I have only driven Toyota trucks. Never over 5,000 miles before getting a new one (demos). When I retired 2 years ago I bought a new 2014 Taco TRD/OR 4x4 for my retirement truck to drive forever. Now that it has 20k...... Damn I want a new truck now. Same truck but 2016 in orange! 
    It was fun always having a new car and a truck with less than 5k miles.

    I use my truck once or twice a week.  To pull a boat, haul crap from the lumber store, or if the weather is too bad for my car.  Can't justify something new.  Truck I have now I bought with a blown engine for $3200 - 6000 less than KBB.  Fixed engine (lucky it was a broken valve).  Runs like new.
