New 2015 options!? Trading my 2013 :(

I AM HAVE A NEW BABY! Unfortunately that means my truck will no longer do.

I need to go to a DC, as much as I hate the SB I want the OR features I have grown to love. I am deployed to Afghanistan and return in hopefully May. I am looking to order the truck I want and have it ready to go when I get back.

I Love my 2013 Access Cab 6sp, added Baja suspension and some stuff. 23k miles later I wish I could keep it.

So immediately I wanted the 2015 TRD PRO Double cab with 6spd in Inferno orange. Not only is it hard to find one, Toyota dealers are adding shit to them and they end up close to 40k asking price. So far, every dealer has tried to get me to accept an automatic. I really do not want one. There are 2 dealers who have said they will order one and its looking like 39k with a deposit.

After the headache and not knowing etc. I put together a second option. And now, I am leaning this way. I just need to find the right dealer. Let me know what you guys think!?

Also added a picture of my current truck. I don't want to get rid of it.. I am probably going to trade it in. But I might thing about trying to sell it private party.

Also, I forgot how to embed pictures..

 

If any dealer is discusses adding TRD Offroad package to a TRD Pro, time to hang up the phone.

The TRD Pro is "default" with a bunch of OR package style stuff. And because of the limited run and dealer allocations, I'd think it'd be next to impossible to get one in a manual trans. My $.02.

 

So far both dealers for the PRO have said they can put in the order, one is the largest in the region so they probably have a better chance. The chances of one actually being allocated though.. Probably not very good. If I'm getting a pro then it will be Inferno. That is half of the selling point.

The second option, which I am leaning towards is the TRD Offroad base with a supercharger added. Then I would install the TRD Baja suspension I have on my 2013 (putting stock Offroad back on the 13) and minus the look good and exhaust.. Have virtually the same thing. I don't really care for the Softex seats either way.

 

I have located about 30 of them. One dealer is getting about 8 in the future. So far they are ALL automatics. Lame.

 

You can get softex in a TRD, I just did what you did as my 13 had 90k on it. I prefer the sport but got the softex this time as the fabric doesn't work for me. Good luck!

 

I have really thought about that too. But that is a LONG truck, I have never personally taken one off road, but the difference in wheelbase for my play trucks 102, 106, 112 in the past to my Access cab makes a noticeable difference.

And then my last house would have been fine, but now my 21 ft trailer and Access cab together don't have much wiggle room front to back.

How bad is the turning radius affected?

 

Also, they don't have the option of 6spd in the DCLB... that's a deal breaker. No more AUTO's for me.

 

The fabric is a little lame, but I love my ballistic seat covers so it really makes no difference to me. I wouldn't mind it, but I also would not pay extra for it by choice.

Thanks for the info anyway

 

OP: According to cars.com Rodland Toyota, Everett, WA has what your looking for. Tacoma Pro DCSB in inferno, 6sp manual and priced at $38,310.

Good Luck

 

Also I bought my 15 DCSB 4x4 with priemium sound/nav softex tow package automatic for $35k out the door. If you want I'll give you my salesman info it might save you a some. The dealers in Enid OK.

 

That is a LONG way from NC I would probably jump on it if I could, but 24hr drive, gas-hotels, convincing the wife and the miles on the trade in truck.. haha

Thank you. That is the first one I have seen and the first one at the "correct" price!

 

Man, what's keeping from getting a TRD Pro is the fact we're having a baby. I can't envision it being easy to get the baby into the baby seat.

 

I was thinking TRD Pro Tundra mega cab.. But its Auto, more expensive... not actually very good for the off-roading I do and its as big as a small house.

Then I was thinking TRD Pro 4runner.. Its auto, which I could live with in that interior.. BUT it can't pull my trailer.

SO back to the Tacoma. Baby seat may be a little tight in the Tacoma DCSB but it does not fit safely at all in my Access cab! LOL

 

and I remembered how! Here is my truck now with all the derp removed.

 

Roger that on the Access Cab. And I was thinking more of the lifting the baby up into a lifted truck! I'm probably just a wimp...

 

Oh yes.. I am sure my wife will not like it. She is only 5'0"

But she has the 2014 Corolla. Which is slow as hell but actually a pretty nice ride. It is the S plus premium. however many names they gave it to say its a 6spd with a hamster wheel, and loaded. We drove it loaded to the gills 1200 miles and averaged a tad over 41 mpg

But I am a little over 6' 01" seem to get shorter every year. I don't think it will bother me as much as a full size trucks bedsides would!

 

dont even bother with the pro.... its an over priced TRD OR... as its simply the TRD OR with different shocks and some styling changes.

In my opinion wait till the 2016 specs are released and get one of those!

 

Are you buying this truck cash? Only certain dealers will allow you to finance the S/C into the truck.

Also the TRD Pro RARELY comes with the tow package and manual transmission. With either of those things missing it probably won't tow your trailer if a 4Runner won't or you won't want it. I'd point out that the overall impression is that the automatic is more reliable on these trucks, but if you're a stick only guy I understand.

Just a few thoughts there.

 

I agree to a point. The suspension, just like the BAJA package before is cheaper to add to a OR, wheels and tires plus suspension to be identical minus stickers was cheaper for a BAJA. Now for a PRO they added more things to the package. Yes, 90% is look good, but if they are all something you want then in this case the whole is cheaper than the parts.

In this case, I LOVE that Inferno color. Grill is cool, but not worth 500 bones. The TRD quickshifter is no longer included. Exhaust is no longer included, but with the savings I would get a different brand. Softex, I could care less either way but if you wanted the leatherette it is part of it, Floor mats, again I don't care I have weather tech's. Badges are cool, no point in them if not on the truck originally. And the suspension. I love the suspension, I have the BAJA suspension now and would never go back! Its only 1500 in parts. Rims and tires rounds it out, and Toyota has them listed on the website as forged. Ones available from TRD aftermarket are cast, but a 2000 dollar option is hardly worth it. There are any number of options here otherwise.

SO for the money. Only based on the money I would be better getting the s/c OR But that color... IF it can be had with 6spd..
