Default Traded my IS for a Tacoma

It was a bit sad last night handing over the keys to my IS. I bought a 2013 Tacoma to fit my change in career. Sadly I was did not have time to part out the exhaust or the rear sway bar. All I was able to get out was my Joe Z Intake (see the classified if interested - is blue metallic!).

I have really enjoyed all the support on this forum. I will miss you guys. Take care.

Tacoma is a nice truck, I was actually cross shopping a Tacoma and is350, obviously I went with the 350, but some times I wish I got the Tacoma , I have a 70lbs dog and tossing him in the lex is not a good idea.

Here is the new ride (before any mods )

V6 4x2 with a wicked JBL Stereo that integrates with my Android phone to give me Pandora and more on the GPS screen.

Sorry to see your IS go but you make me happy I decided to not trade in my Tacoma when I got my IS in August. The Tacoma is actually the reason I went with Lexus when I needed a new car. The Tacoma is four years old and still perfect with zero issues to date. That is quality I never saw in years as a Nissan car owner. I am envious of those wheels on your Tacoma though, they are sharp!

Have the same Tacoma in the family.
It's fun to drive and all, but I can't stand their controls on the dash.
Also have the Prius V and it's the exact same console.
Hard to use and very confusing even after a while.

Though I have to admit, the back up camera on that thing is amazing.

You'll enjoy the Tacoma. I had one and it was great, but I did the opposite of you. I just traded in my 2011 Tacoma for a 2014 IS350.
