New to Tacoma and here...

Doesn't bother me either. It obviously serves a purpose otherwise Toyota would have left it off to save $$. Maybe when I get around to a replacement bumper it will get lost but until then I'll leave it be.

 

Man, our trucks could be twins...
2017 SR5 4X4 automatic with tow package.

On a side note, how did you get remote starter? I thought toyota didn't offer one?

 

Welcome to TW. Love the MGM 4x4. Get that thing muddy and post some pics!

 

Welcome OP, nice truck!
Still waiting on mine to be built.
A word of caution... Tacoma World is a strange and magical place fraught with danger and wonder.

 

I think you mean the more time you spend here. the more you will not like your truck and be talked down to for owning one.

 

Don't get him started off that way man..... Although in a lot of instances you are 100% correct with the clowns on this site! I feel your pain!

OP, just do yourself a favor and realize going in that most people who end up on forums are there because they were searching the web for a problem they are having. NOT ALL OF US HATE OUR TRUCKS! Mine has the usual '16 issues and even with that being true, it's still a TACOMA and will outlast any other midsize on the road and do it with a better residual value. Lots of useful info on here if you can weed out the BS and the trolls. I think 16TacomaSport will agree with that last statement?

 

Ah... Another Virginian!

 

Ditto! Love my '16!

 

Nice. Yours has the silver wheels and mine the Satin Black. So close...you have good taste my friend.

 

Nice truck.
I like the clean look of the sr5

Are you planning to lift or swap for bigger wheels/tires?

 

Not anytime soon.

 

Seeing double?

 

Are those 16 or 17 inch wheels ?

 

That sure is a good looking truck...
I do have to say though, that is my favorite color.

 

Was gonna ask the same, and if so...is it the factory fob? I know there is a "start sequence" of buttons you have to press.

Grats on the new taco.

 

I think SR5 trim came with 16" (what it said in my purchase order: P245/75/16).
I am thinking will swap the tires with 265/75R16, All-Terrain T/A KO2 to make it look a little taller and more aggressive, but not sure if that cause any issue (rubbing).

 

Don't take this place too seriously.... Nice truck.

 

Dealer offered it. It was a third party one but uses the spare channel in the factory fob so it works for me. I can look up the brand if you like. It runs $500 installed.

 

would you guys trust Best Buy's Geek Squad to do the install?
