2012 Tacoma $20500 vs. 2009 Tacoma $18000

apparently we are

 

Wait til graduation day man. Things getting fuckin hucked.

 

Which ever one is still available tomorrow. Low mileage tacos last .003 seconds on the open market lol!!!

 

Interesting. One side of me says go for the 12. The other side of me says that the 09 was lightly used as it equates to around 7-8k miles per year although the 12 is normal at about 12k per year. I guess it would come down to looks if it were me. Good luck!

 

2009, read too many issues w 2012 secondary air pumps

 

Heres another thought, if youre financing, you might get a better rate with the newer truck.

 

I owned a black truck and it made me never want to have another one. If you are going off road expect to be cleaning the truck for hours. The red hides it a little better. Good luck with your choice.

 

The 2012 all day. I have an 11 with the older front end and I wish I had the updated one every single day of my life. Plus it's black? I'd be all over that one.

 

good point, however i don't plan on financing

 

I'm not even joking it makes my eyes hurt to look at that for more than about 2 seconds.

 

OP. I have a '12 and have not had a problem with the air system thingy. I am almost to 99k miles FWIW.

 

I am not going to show you the other side after I cleaned it

 

Every single day? I like the 12-15's. But I like my 11 too. Especially since I put a plate bumper on it. Too me the part i hate the most on the 05-11's is the front bumper covers.

 

yeah, never even realized the 12/s had issues with this. Looks like its possibly still under fed warranty till 80k, but who knows

 

2012. I do have my once a week wash-n-dry down to about 30 min on my black '05. Once winter starts (Winter is comming) and the shit starts flying it will be harder to keep clean.

 

Yep, every day. Don't get me wrong I love my 11, it has been the best vehicle I've owned hands down. But the front end on the 12-15 trucks gets me going for some reason.

 

Ha, same here. Still haven't touched it with a hose since I got back on Monday. I should do that soon

 

2012. Just remove secondary air pump filter and replace with an aftermarket filter. Super simple mod and won't fail.
