....i have a new truck and i am back home!!

i picked up a used 2005 Double Cab Tacoma TRD Sport 4x4!!!

I know it is a departure from the old taco's but it is going to suit my needs perfectly! great power, comfort, and i still got 20 mpg doing 80 with the A/C on!

it was an early lease turn in and i got it from a wholesaler. before tax it was right around $24,000 about $6,000 less than the same truck new and it had 8,800 miles on it before i drove the 520 home yesterday. there was no way i was going to be buying one of these new but when i found this one in RED (one of my fav. colors and something i hadn't seen on a new double cab) i pulled the trigger on it. hopefully with the 6,500 towing capacity and the class 4 hitch it should tow the 83 around pretty good.
