Im a 1st time Taco owner and Im super happy w my STrooper Taco. I got it sideways a bit near a construction site by the local outlet mall. Just keeping my inner child alive

She does clean up real well.

White on black tacos go hard

Thank you. The color combo is just the right amount of flashy while still being understated. The red interior is my absolute favorite.

Heck yeah! I love mine as well. I have an ORP Hybrid. That TRD Pro is sick though. Hybrid power really helps make the driving enjoyable on these.

100%! They definitely won't win any drag races, I feel these are happiest in 2nd,3rd, and 4th gear which is where most of the practical and fun power comes from. I drove a non hybrid model and I liked how nimble it felt but I could not get over the nearly 1 second of turbo lag off the line. The hybrids definitely feel a tad chonkier . Overall tho, I think the hybrids are a bit more practical but they do come at a hefty price tag. The other Taco I tested was a '25 TRD Sport. I know many folks balk at the Pro and Trailhunter packages but I think the middle ground OR and Sports are capable af just with a little less tech (which I'm a sucker for.....and red interiors). Im sure that OR will give you years of fun!

Yeah the non-hybrids are not bad, but added hybrid power is fun and more practical for sure. But right there with you on buying the lower trims. I wanted the hybrid and the 9.5" axle (I don't think they come on lower trims, at least some of them) and the OR toys like factory locker, etc. I think an OR hybrid is the best answer. You pay a little bit more, but relatively little for how much you get (compared to last gen superchargers, etc.) and you can (like myself) build a better than Pro truck and swap out every last part for something super beefy haha.
