Toyota Dealership told me rust was normal and that all Tacomas have it

Anyone that has done any electrical mods or additions will be looking under there. The battery is on the driver side so you'll want to go through the firewall on that side.

 

Just for fun, here’s my wife’s car. 2018 Accord with 300 miles. Also unpainted with a small bit of rust because it’s not important.

 

I'm sure it does, new Tacomas weight over 4000lbs with about 278 horsepower

 

Not sure if anyone but you cares though




52k for a Tacoma? Hard fucking pass there. I’ll sell you an 18 with 2700 miles and a full king setup for less lol

 

Your truck was a dealer trade from a hurricane Irma affected state

All jokes aside before I could even get a chance, was going to say willing to bet based on price, he’s from Los Angeles. I’m from there too. Markup is because they think anyone looking for that particular trim WANTS and KNOWS what it is, not just a random shopper, then they assume they have stupid money to spend if they really want it that bad. It’s sad really.

 

Judging from OP its a solid business decision

 

If I signed up for 52k payments, I would be concerned too

 

Is this thread for real? Find it hard to believe it is.

 

People are spending way to much time responding to this meaningless thread.

Myself included.

 

Meh... it's all relative anyway. $52K to me may be like $40K to some people. I've overpaid for things just because I could for convenience.

OP, put some nice smelling oily based substance on it and enjoy your badass truck.

 

At least you’re not the moron who actually crawled under both of his vehicles to take pictures for OP

 

Paying over sticker for anything short of a GT2 RS is almost stupid. It’s like the dealership around the corner from my house selling raptors at 10k over sticker. They have 10 of them. I offered them sticker and they laughed, yet I can go to a dealership 10 miles away and get one for 10k less... if you pay that 10k, you’re an idiot

 

Disagree...if someone does not care to save $10K and can afford it...he/she must be doing something right.

Plus it's all supply and demand. Those ten trucks must not be on their lot for long. They miss selling to you but sell it a few days after.

 

Do you live somewhere really humid OP? If not that looks a little suspect, for comparison here is my nearly 2 year old 2017 with 28k miles:

It's worth mentioning that they salt the roads about 5 months out of the year where I live, so that area is in close proximity to my salty ass boots a good chunk of time.


Just don't look under my truck

 

Lemon law

 

You're not joking, I was just in denver and was blown away at how nice by friend's old 4runner is, my 2 year old tacoma has more rust than his 18 year old beater. Then I realized the only cities with lower humidity are Phoenix and Las Vegas but both of those places your car gets sandblasted instead so your paint chips away constantly. Given that, I'd wager Denver is actually the BEST city to own a car insofar as natural wear. Low humidity, no desert sand getting blasted, and I don't even think you guys salt the roads either.

 

No salt, but they did start Mag chloride a while back so have to take the truck to the car wash each snow fall

 

1st world problems

 

I’m afraid to look

 

2011 chiming in. i know you guys love 2nd gens on 3rd gen forums.

This thread made me look at my gas pedal for first time.
