Rep Power: 0 Traded the civic...
I couldn't help to notice the amount of threads about people trading their or getting rid of their civic. I recently just got rid of my baby too. I went out quietly but I'll share with the 7thgen community. I went down to a Toyota dealer on the 24th of July to check out some Tacoma Double Cab. Found this Super White, Double Cab Short Bed, SR5 with a Sport Package. Sports tuned suspension with Bilstein shocks, door sills protector, 6-disc single-feed cd changer, and a whole bunch of other stuff. Got $9,500 for the trade. I had about $3900 left of the vic so I put down another $1,000. Payments aren't that bad. Only paying $125 more than the civic. Insurance is an extra $43 for the whole year. I'll post pics with I get the chance. I haven't taken any shots of my new baby yet.

Rep Power: 0 The Titans are BIG man. I really like them too I don't think that me and my wife would've been able to afford it. Plus, my life really liked the Tacoma too.

Rep Power: 0 How much more are you paying in gas now. My buddy has a new tacoma like yours and he says its a pig on gas. You may want to look into that lubecontrol stuff that we use on our cars.

I can fit 3 adults in the back comfortably. Got the bed for moving crap or whatever. Compartments behind and under the seat. I got all the car cleaning stuff behind the seats. It's nice man. Big change from driving a civic.
Hehe, the Tacoma is a very nice truck and a very good choice of vehicle to purchase. The Titan is huge.

Rep Power: 306 nice, toyota honestly makes the best truck in that class. my dad has a tundra, and i drove it around about 100 miles in town one day last week, and i dont think i could ever drive a truck daily, they feel too clumsy and you have to slow down a lot. with the civic (esp with 2k in suspension) you can drive it "fast" all the time, and not really have to slow down that much. i wouldnt buy a truck, i would just borrow my dads whenever i need it.
