    I have read the forums from time to time. Now that I am planning on buying a tacoma in the next 6 months I thought I would actually join!

    If anyone has any advice or recommendation on what build of tacoma to get I greatly appreciate it! I am looking to keep the cost around $20,000, give or take a few thousand. Thanks!

    Derek

    i don't think you'll get a Taco for 20,000 You lookin @ spending a little more then that give or take!!! i would have to say the only way you would look at a price like that is if you got it used!! But As For A TRD Sport Pre-runner i love my truck! soo congrats hope it works out for you better then gettin a GM or Nissan trust!

    Welcome from Ohio, Derek.

    I don't have a Taco yet, either. Two weeks to go.

    This site will help you make an informed decision. Great group here.

    Hey! I will use my truck primarily for commuting as I commute a lot and have averaged 20,000 miles a year on my honda accord for the past 5 years (mostly highway miles) I love my honda but have always wanted a Toyota pickup truck and am now in a position where I can buy one in about 3-4 months.
