Nice, congrats! In my opinion, my hope is you are really going to enjoy this truck! The 2.7 6’ is an awesome motor. I’m not saying this is what you should do, but i did a soft break in on the motor for the first 1000 miles. I topped off at 25.4 miles per gallon in Eco mode at 70 mph. That was a short drive! I was floored by that stat. Other than that, i feel for the price point of the Lariat, there should have been full LED lights on the rear as well. I hate to see bulbs on the price of this truck! For more stability, I’ve read some guys complain about the truck should have wider tires, i totally agree. Other than that, enjoy the truck, i am totally satisfied, i get great comments about the truck wherever i go! lol, Take Care

Ditto. I also have the 2.7 and it is an awsome engine. Regarding the tires, since I live in the Southwest Michigan Great Lakes snow belt I will be changing out tires to snow and ice next month. We get our share of both. Otherwise I too would go wider - - and will in the spring. My break in has been mostly city so only showing 19.4 in eco mode.

Awesome LeeHo! Yeah I’m really enjoying the truck. I just passed 1000k miles and finally opened her yesterday. She just kept pulling! Now I know I can pass something if I have to! Lol

I picked it up this morning, it feels insane going from a 2007 Tacoma that didn’t even have an aux port to this. I’m easing into it but it pulls like crazy too, barely notice the auto start/stop as well.

It absolutely moves! Got into a tight spot yesterday where an A-Hole ran a red and swerved around in front of me in the inersection. I slammed on my breaks just in time but there was another car comming up behind me pretty fast. Put the peddle to the metal and burned a little but didn't get rear ended. Dont think i could ever do that again but at lease it worked this time. Funny how new vehicles tend to attract accidents! Good thing it was in sport mode.

I just went through the first tank of fuel and I'm driving it like it's broken in now. It averaged 12.2 Litres/100 (19.28 MPG) in both normal mode and occasionally in sport mode with a fairly even mix of Hwy/City.
It has plenty of power and merging on to the highway is effortless for the 2.7. My only gripes are the seat belt reminder warning and the brakes. It has a soft initial pedal feel with considerable pedal travel required before the brakes begin to apply. Not very linear IMHO. That aside I think it's a fantastic truck.
I think the Canyon AT4 is the best looking truck in the segment but build quality horror stories scared me away. The Tacoma is a grossly overpriced tin can with serious reliability issues compared to the Lariat.

Don't get why none of the dealers ordered any stock in red. Looked around and just gave up. Grey, black, and more grey everywhere you look. So boring.
