My new "Toy"

The wife and I pulled the trigger and picked up a 2011 Tacoma TRD Sport. The midsize is perfect for us as we do live in Seattle and our carport would never support a full size.
Rims and tires soon, although not sure what I want yet.

My 96' Tacoma just keeps going. Your baby will probably be at least 18 before she leaves the house!

We drove the Frontier as well, but once we drove this truck it was over. My wife even fell for it!

Great trucks! I have the trd off road and love it. There are a couple of changes I would make, but so far its the truck ive had the least complaints with.

Nice rig... I have an 08 model. I put on a 4 inch lift and 33 inch tires and 74,000 miles...
Tough to sleep in but do-able.

It is the 6 foot bed, which was a bonus to us. I really like the color and the trim package. Plus, we got full warranty for 100,000 and the truck itself only has 7,200 on it now. We did opt to add lo-jack for peace of mind. We knew once we were going to buy a truck it was going to be with us for a long time, hence the reason we added the extras.
TheHunt, what kind of lift did you get and how did it affect ride? I want to lift it (not a ton) as it will spend 80% of it's time as a pavement princess, but I would like a little bigger tire. I know it will stiffen up a bit. I will not be doing any true "off-roading", but I would like the added clearance. I will be hitting some forest roads but noting too demanding.
Plus, any new toy, you want to put your own stamp on

Quad cabs are great you'll love it. Its funny that you mention that washelkhnter because they have made a coal roller for a long time. The first company that gets the big D in thier mid-small P/U is going to sell a bunch of them. the Toyota Hilux is essentially a diesel Tacoma.

damn nice rig, this may have been said but stay with the original tires and wheels, save the money and go buy a new rifle or a couple of fishn rods, those tires and wheels look great, dont fix it if it aint broke, i had a 98 tacoma trd and put differant tires and wheels on it and it seemed to affect my gasmileage a little bit, i traded it in on a new tundra, wow what a sweet ass truck but i damn sure aint gonna trade out the tires and wheels, hopefully i will be getn the new foxpro ecaller with the money i am gonna save

taller tires affect gear ratio, less affected with auto trannies, wider tires affect mileage a TON. I run 33-9.50x15 just for the mileage.
