Utility package Tacomas (The bearded toy)

I have a 18 2.7 4 door and didn’t think it was a dog until I used the AC today! Wow this thing is slow!!! I think my 2006 Wrangler with 35s wild destroy this thing in a race! Lol

 

I've never had a vehicle be so affected by the AC as a Tacoma. I literally could feel the "extra" power in my 95 when i turned it off in order to pass someone.

 

Been driving 2.7L 4 door for 17 years and 235k miles

I know it’s slow but still love my Taliban truck

 

Drive Japanese econo cars from 80s and 90s

 

Just picking her up

Love that my utility has the auto headlights
Radar cruise
Lane departure
And pre collision

Good for a basic truck

Just no keyless entry

 

Looks good! It's weird you get automatic locks and windows, even auto down driver side windows, but have to add keyless entry for $275. I said screw that, just turn the key twice in the drivers side door lock and both doors will unlock. You'll have to add a hitch to your truck, that's what I'm in the process of searching out to do. Dunno why dealers don't order all trucks with them from the factory.

 

Those people obviously don’t get it.

 

The beard looks sick. It grew on me so much that I won’t even get a bumper because I don’t want to part with it.

 

Here's what I did this week. Both fit great. I would suggest getting a 100 pack of 6" zip-ties and some split wire loom for the trailer wiring before you start. Hitch and 4 flat trailer wiring from autoanything.

Ya have to figure out keyless entry

love driving it

It’s headed out to farm today , 180 miles away

Will have a tough life there

 

Turned 25000 miles in my 2017 yesterday, figured mileage this morning - 20.29 mpg - best on yesterday's trip 24.5, in the 17++ range pulling my little flatbed trailer loaded. Dealer added cruise control, because I ordered it with the "convenience package" which would have also added power door locks, but they "forgot" when they ordered it. I wouldn't take it without cruise, but if I'd realized passenger door didn't have a keyhole, I'd have left it at the dealer's and started over. I put a hitch on, and will do the intermittent wiper some time when I'm bored. In a perfect world it would have the 6 speed, but the utility package and price was what sold the truck. We only need another 400,000 miles to get close to what my '01 Dodge Cummins had when I sold it!

 

I used the radar cruise control on way home from dealership and loved it!!!

At 212 inches lot bigger than my 01 crew cab

 

my dealer installed a Pursuit remote starter with remote door locks and security(cost me 399 ) it works everytime,it was cheaper than the 299 just remote door locks i used the remote starter all winter without a hitch.i could get model info if someone was interested.

 

Appreciate it

 

I have the SR Utility Package.

I was dead set on an Access Cab due to my 105lb GSD and I needed a long bed. In all honesty, I have zero gripes. I'll swap out the bumpers once I pull the trigger on suspension that can handle the additional weight.

The access cab is just a classic look in my opinion. Not a lot of bells and whistles, its a simple truck

 

I love the simplicity compared to my 17 PRo

But compared to my 01 stripper, the 18 utility has lots of bells and whistles

It fits my need great

 

Ps

You have the best screen name suiting your truck

Love it

 

Trying towing a Motorcycle trailer when it's 85 out

 

What did you do about the TPMS when you switched to the OR ? I thought I read somewhere that you can get the steelie TPMS and flip them upside to work?

 

What do you guys think about this 06 Tundra with the 4.0 and Aisin 6MT for $10k? 60,000 miles. Compared to a new or used 3rd gen equivalent.
