Default A few firsts: '15 Crew Sport 4x4 3.5 Eco

After debating on what to get after I sold my 2012 Tacoma I found myself at the local Ford dealership. Ended up driving away with a 2015 Crew cab, 4x4, 302a package, with the 3.5L Ecoboost. I've gotta say I love it, and so far pleased with everything about it.

The night I picked it up


Tint match on the front, 5% across the AS-1 line, and stubby antenna. Line-X goes in on Tuesday.

Congrats! That's a gorgeous truck. The Tacoma is a nice truck but you've done a huge upgrade in my opinion.

Congrats! I traded a 2006 Tacoma in for mine. After owning 4 Toyota's I don't think I'm going to look back. There are so many small things about this F150 that make me think WTF was Toyota thinking (or not thinking as the case may be). Even just illuminating all the buttons in the truck! Having to feel in the dark for the 4wd switch in my Tacoma drove me nuts. Adding insult to injury I found out the exact same switch was illuminated in the 4Runner. Toyota!

Toyota made a huge mistake treating the earlier model Tacomas like an entry level truck. No option for leather, no auto up function on the power windows, and they did not offer many of the advanced technology features that they offered in the more expensive model vehicles. My wife's 2001 Limited Sequoia had so many cool options that the 2006 Tacoma didn't offer in any trim level.

Toyota slowly changed their ways, but it came way too late for many of us. I would not rule out a Toyota in the future, but would definitely cross-shop other brands where 10 years ago, I wouldn't have.

To the OP - congrats on your new truck. There are a few 'issues' I'm sure you will find in the next few months, but for the most part this is a great truck. Enjoy!!!
