Haha I'm dying over here now! I can imagine how fun off-road trips would be with all this snarkiness

I'm just long overdue for some good offroading, you cali folks are blessed with some great places to romp around.

Yeah but then we have LA traffic, yuppies, Raiders, Prius-itis and Miley Cyrus...the grass always looks greener on the other side

Don't get me wrong, I don't want to be in Cali, I'm just envious of the terrain. I'd be back in Texas if I could.

Ohhhhh.... Well then that's great. Lol

Now I'm jealous of peeps in texas

Well, I have ridden plenty of trucks, SUVs, MBs SL550....blah blah blah.

Seriously...I have lurked this forum and others for a while now. I thought I was too girly for the Raptor and went for the TRD offroad package on the double cab Tacoma instead. Turns out even though its been a good truck for me...it just fell flat for me. I never had the urge to even take him over anything but speed bumps....that's how impressed I was. A great truck, for sure, but it feels like a toy.

Even from the get go, taking it out on its first ride I was really lackluster. My smile wasn't in my eyes at all. And I'm the kind that invests in something worth keeping. This wasn't.

Then I decided, what the heck, I have the means so why not try the one truck that I felt was too intimidating for me to ride around...Went to my local dealership and as I'm walking by they had him parked out front waiting for me... I'm walking by and all I do is keep looking at him like puppy love looks...it was pretty alien for me. I'm usually pretty darn hard to impress but this guy was just crazy.

Okay. The ride was impressive. I never reacted like I did in the Raptor. It was just crazy. Just stupid crazy. I was obviously losing my game face too...poker face was out the window, with the trail of dust behind me!

I was grinning like a fool, pretty much smitten and well he didn't even have to convince me. I knew I shouldn't have climbed in there...it was doom for me.

So. I'm going tonight to pick my baby up...2013 Screw........HOLY SHIT!!!

******** it I need a drink.

This is the first time I decided I would invest money into an emotional buy like this one. It's definitely going to be babied by me (except when I get it out in the country backroads around my place)

Oh...and if anyone tries anything on him

ok need pic's of you and the truck it's a must on frf
