What a day! Today the wife and I went for a ride. Left out early this morning, got some breakfast, then hit a dealership in NC. I happened to run across this Tacoma online a couple weeks ago and wanted to put some eyes on it. It's a base model 2017 SR Access Cab 4x4 with the 2.7L 4 cyl engine with 5 speed transmission. Exactly what I was looking for and the only white one within a 250 mile radius with only 3 miles. We had no plans on buying this one and was going to order from our local dealer. I could tell they wanted to deal and they did!! Long story short - The wife ended up following me home as I was driving this:

This is why I said I like a white truck. You may have seen my Chevy, or not, here are a few pics. I drive this 20 year old truck every day. It was repainted in 2013. The original slightly hopped up 350 runs grate.

Thanks Tibado. I have a lot of work in it. As good as Toyota is, its hard to beat those old Chevy 350s. I have always been a Chevy guy. Imo Toyota is a grate choice though. Like I say, if you dont want to have to work on it, get a Toyota. The inside of my Chevy is in grate shape also. With the Bluetooth stereo. Alarm system with keyless entry and power everything except seats, it make a nice daily driver. Lol it passes most everything on the road except a gas station. 11.5 mpg in town, and 16.5 on the high way.

What kind of mileage is that new truck giving you? How is the power in the 4 cylinder. How is the ride. My 4 Runner rides a lot better than my Chevy, and give twice the MPGs 20 in town and 24 Hwy. 4.0 V6

Just gassed up my first tank today. MPG on tank one was 22 mpg with mixed driving. A bit better than what I was expecting considering it's burning winter blend gas with 10% ethanol. So far I'm pleased with the 2.7L. Seems to have good power but I am still taking it kind of easy during break in.

How many miles on the odometer now?
