My Mother has many fascinating neighbors who I love to speak with about the vehicles I get to test drive. A lot of them have been influenced to make purchases from my recommendations and that brings a smile to my face. I had a chance to test drive the Toyota Tacoma SR5 4X4 Double Cab Trail and it was a wonderful experience.

The model I drive had a Lunar Rock paint job. With bronze wheels, it looked really stunning during my drives. I was abler to drive around the Washington DC metropolitan area. I drove around I-495 including Silver Spring where my Mom stays. I also drove far west on I-270 to I-70 in Hagerstown Maryland. My drive took me to I-81 in West Virginia where I was able to go by the Potomac River.

I like looking at the water and finding peace. During my drives, I had a chance to play the music I made with the music department at Carnegie Mellon, especially a song called Paradise. The song is about a Utopia and driving the Tacoma Trail you would feel the same.

My Mother’s neighbor has a Tacoma and she loves her vehicle. The Tacoma is more than capable and the Trail brings an extra degree of ruggedness.

It gets an EPA-rated 22 MPG on the highway. The Trail Package adds $3765 to the base price of $35,655 of the SR5. With a premium audio system and more options, it came to a delivered price of $44,182. For more information visit www.toyota.com
