    Welcome buddy! Are you a member of USAA by any chance? Their car buying service is great for getting a good deal.

    Mine was back in 2011.... I just searched to internet for online Toyota sales, maybe like Carmax, Truecar, carsdirect. If your a member of a Credit Union, see what they can do for you.

    If you are a USAA member then you would be crazy not to use their car buying service. They give you great discounts on your spec'd vehicle and then a list of dealerships who will honor it.

    I'm in northern central Va. We have a good dealer here. Their prices tend to be pretty good, comparitively speaking, they don't deal much but their prices are pretty good to begin with. Their service department is fantastic. Google Battlefield Toyota in Culpeper just to see how their prices compare.

    You really kinda need to figure out just what you think you'd like to do with your truck before considering purchasing anything. Then do some research on what the best approach to achieving that goal is and how to get there and what components will be the most bennifit to you along the way. If you want to off road it then perhaps consider some armor before anything else to protect your truck then figure out what else you need as you go. This may help you from having to do things more than once IMHO
