2018 Cavalry Blue TRD PRO Tacoma

Better you than me. I did a 50 mile bike race once. Bout died.

 

There was some rubbing. He has some Matel 5100’s on order for it.

 

I ride about 300-350 miles a week. lol Run about 30-35 and swim 9-10 miles a week.

 

Oh lord, I got tired just thinking about that many miles.

 

You racing this year?

 

Currently running a long travel set up. Kings on all 4 corners and a 95” lightbar. Also, I’m selling it on Craigslist if you are interested. Over $65k invested. Asking $54k. Cash only, local pickup only. Serious inquiries only, no Gargamels.

 

Sweet! I’m doing IMNC this year.

 

Congrats! Enjoy it.

 

No Gargamels....i see what u did there.

 

you're comparing great quality bike wheels for crappy cast car wheels.

High end 3 piece car wheels can run 5-7k. Carbon fiber wheels around 10k each. My old boss had a CF/titanium mountain bike that was worth like 15k or so as he did the Iron man, etc. But you're comparing apples to oranges.

 

All water bottles are awkward. I exclusively use a Camelbak. Sometimes on really long or hot rides, I'll carry a water bottle filled with a sports drink, but really only to keep the sugar out of the Camelbak.

 

Not really. Even basic mountain bike wheels are more expensive than the same level car wheels. A really big difference is the bike wheels are 2 main parts, the hub and the rim. You can have awesome rims on shitty hubs and vice versa. A set of intermediate bike wheels with Stan's rims and hope hubs (a very common setup that is a step above oem offerings) will run $600, with the rear wheel being more expensive due to the freehub. You can almost buy a set of the trd pro 4runner wheels for that much.

 

...you can buy a whole mountain bike for 150 dollars from walmart. They're crappy and basic, but still a mountain bicycle. Most consumer car/truck wheels are the same thing, they're basic and cheap. When you get into something that's actually built well and used for a purpose, you're looking at least a few grand for a good set of wheels. Any of the higher end wheels that are popular in the German/Italian scene usually go for at least 4k-6k a set, and that's just for forged 2-3 pieced let alone a CF wheel.

 

You know what... You're right.

Just saw this in Albany, NY. Favorite color but I’m not shopping, especially at $48k!!!

 

What were the specs on that one? Was that a dealer mark up or msrp?

 

The $48k included the dealer mark up...sticker was around $42. Manual trans short bed. I would have snapped more pics but a salesman decided he needed to do a test drive (alone, no customers) while I was looking at it. Unbelievable.

 

I ended up getting myself a 2017 Pro. The dealer who had the order for my 18 couldn't match the price, so I snagged the 2017. Picked it up for 41.386.00 OTD. Managed to get a refund on my deposit too

 

Man, that's a great deal.
