Awesomeness was peeling the TO and TA stickers from the tailgate so you rolled around with a giant "YO" on the back.

If I can ever get extra time on my hands, I can make that happen on my Taco

Well, I bought it. Pics once it's light out. It's an '07 4.0 V6, Prerunner SR5, extended cab. Only 2WD, but has a rear diff locker. Beautiful dark pearl blue. Plenty of power and a 6.5 ft bed. I got the remainder of the CPO 100,000 mile, 7 year warranty (70,000 and 2 years), plus oil changes, and free state inspections for the life of the vehicle, plus a "wrap-around" warranty that even covers tires and winshield cracks.

I also drove a similarly equipped '07 Dakota, 4WD V6, extended cab. I was unimpressed. Mushy car-like ride and handling. Underwhelming power.

Took off work early today, drove the Tacoma 24-hour tester to the Chevy dealer. Tried an '07 Colorado, I5, 4WD, 4dr with a cap. Way too much like a 4-cylinder- felt like driving my mom's '01 Cavalier. Lots of vibrations.

Don't know how they all were '07...
