Lurker no more! New 2016 Quicksand TRDsport DCSB

I'll admit I was a lurker for quite sometime waiting for the new 2016's! You guys helped in my decisions tremendously!!!! Woot!!!
From Irvine, CA

Picked up my Tacoma in Yuma AZ, found the color/model/price I wanted online and called the dealer. Haggled for a week, settled with a lil chunk discount off MSRP , but hey no dealer in SoCal had quicksand in stock ! Hence the drive to Yuma... 4 hour drive from Irvine passing SD. Anyway first impression (very quiet) cabin) compared to my FJ and the Mpg I recorded 22.4 at the highest. Moderate power, mostly kept is around 2k rpm (70mph) to break it in . Does anybody recommend a break in period ?

Anyway, love the color and I know, the 4x4 people are gonna bash but hey, I live in SoCal the most off-road I'm gonna see is bigbear? If that? Maybe pismo beach? I had a 4x4 07 FJ cruiser and honestly used the 4x4 three times!


Anyway what's a post without pictures? Nothing!!! Here ya go!

Total Price?

 

Nothing wrong with a 4x2 if you aren't gonna need a 4x4. Looks clean! Congrats!

 

Nice! Congrats.

 

$31,414 +tax and license .

 

Nice price! Congrats!

 

UHHHHH SO NICE

 

Beautiful truck. Another Quicksand Sport, perfect. BTW, Toyota Kearny Mesa in SD has a Quicksand Sport, but with $2K added plastic accessories.

 

yeah i saw that one, I believe its long bed and it was around $2000 more in price.

 

this is 2015, there is no engine break in period

 

Breaking in your new Toyota
To extend the life of the vehicle, observing the following precautions is recommended:
●For the first 200 miles (300 km):
Avoid sudden stops.
●For the first 500 miles (800 km):
Do not tow a trailer.
●For the first 1000 miles (1600 km):
• Do not drive at extremely high speeds.
• Avoid sudden acceleration.
• Do not drive continuously in low gears.
• Do not drive at a constant speed for extended periods.

 

How did you like the ride? I know you said quiet, but was the sport stiff? I bought my Prerunner in 2013 because I wanted a good daily driver but could still handle towing, carry bikes, kayaks, motorcycles, etc.

The limited research I did in 2013 said the Prerunner fit the bill for me. It certainly has.

I am looking to improve on that but I am not sold on the 2016 Limited. Might do a sport this time around.

 

It's a good ride, I imagine the Trd off-Road to be a little stiffer . Speed bumps and road bumps feel minimal I would say 7 out of 10 in ride quality .

 

Nice Congrats!!

 

Thank you. Enjoy that bad boy!

 

Are you doing a 4x4 conversion and SAS? Cut below the taillights for the high clearance bumper.

 

Nice rig, congrats!

 

lol!

Nice truck OP. Welcome to the forum.

 

Congrats on the purchase! That new Taco smell...

• I'm guessing that this ($31,414) was your negotiated price, correct?
• What was the MSRP, iydmma?
• Any dealer options added?

'Grats again!

 

MSRP sticker was $32,514, I expected to pay more due to demand but hey a discount is a discount, these damn so-cal dealers think they can get away with MSRP- NO DISCOUNTS. YUMA is a small city of about 80,000-90k and they were having trouble getting their inventory off the lot. Its worth the drive and not having to deal with some snott nose 22yr old Sales Rep at the so-cal dealers. (No offense) if anyone works at the dealer, some of these dealership salesmen come and go like a revolving door.
