well my wife decided she wanted back in a truck again. she missed the xr, which was her daily for years before handing it down to me a year or so ago. we got her a new 2014 mustang in grabber blue (in the background of pic) but after a while she just wanted out of it. she orig wanted a vette...glad i didnt pull the trigger on that or else i would be out a ton more money :laugh:

anyways we checked out the new nissan desert runner & a chevy colorado that was similar to an xtreme, but she knew that the tacoma was what she really wanted to get even thought it cost quite a bit more than the other trucks we looked at.

the new taco is totally redesigned inside and out and though its not quite my style i dig it. i think an xr with the new body shape would be pretty cool, but the sales guys didnt think there was any such thing.

well here is a pic the day we got it. i will get more later and report back on all the in's and out's of it if anyones interested.

Not a fan of crew cab short beds, but glad that she's back in a Toyota!

It's going to take a while to get used to it but it's not that bad looking

so far the truck seems nice...it is a far cry from the xr, but she really likes it.

as for me, the auto is killing me lol. the cruise is horrible. every little hill it wants to floor it to 3500 rpm until it gets up to speed...not at all as smooth as the xr.
