2nd Truck...

[Neurobit]

About a week ago, we purchased and will be surprising our son with a Tacoma 2018 SR 2WD double-cab for his 16th birthday next week.

Really love knowing that he will get many years out of it, and will still be a perfect vehicle through college and beyond, as Toyota longevity is legendary.

Hope to do a few projects along the way and teach him how to do his oil changes, basic maintenance, etc.

Being the base 4 cyl engine, we may want to find ways to increase performance later on. Tips on what's available for that platform are welcome

Cheers,

Thanks Dad!! You need my address to ship it? Or do I have to come get it?

Awesome choice!

If you will...tell your son for me: Happy Birthday and Congrats!

My first new truck was an '88 base model Toyota. Bought it right out of college. That thing was a tank! I drove the wheels off of it. As mentioned, they are a blank canvas for upgrades and mods. I upgraded mine into a really nice truck. It's too bad it rusted into a heap, or I might still have it.

Great birthday present!!! But correct me if I'm wrong but isnt this a Ram Forum ? LOL

Just an FYI, but I'm up for adoption.

That model leaves a lot of rooms for birthdays and christmases to come, little TRD upgrades here and there, and loads of other stuff. Good call!

Thanks. My thoughts exactly. We'll see where this goes.
