options remorse thread

if i could have done it differently i would have bought an extended cab 4x4. dont get me wrong, i love my reg cab 4x2, but if i could have had the money then, i would have diffintly gone bigger.

 

4x4 and waited a few months for an 09 in magnetic grey.

 

i really wish i had the TRD OR package on my truck..... and the auto tranny sometimes(when towing big stuff and technical off roadin'). wish they would have made the Timberland Mica at the time too.

 

4x4 speedway blue instead of 4x2 black

 

All in all I love my truck I just wish I could have gotten it in 4x4 instea of 2wd since I'll be moving to ohio in about 9 months

 

Sometimes I wish I'd gotten a double cab instead of the access cab and waited on WHITE.

My dealer didn't tell me I could wait on a white one...he just found the basic truck I wanted and only in red. (he had a silver one on the lot and there was NO way for that color) It was like he thought I had to have it today... I'd have waited if I'd known I could have.

It was supposed to be the radiant red, but when it arrived, it was the impulse red and I actually like it better. Next vehcile WILL be white.

I also like the idea of the sun roof.

 

I searched around until I found just the truck I wanted. The only thing I would have done differently is have the dealer remove the 245/75 r16 tires and put on 265/75 r16 ones. I can't justify throwing away good tires so I have to try and wear these out as quickly as I can. I have 21,000 miles and the damn things still look brand new!

 

Yes, this is a scientifically proven fact. There's no question that IRP is the best.

 

I don't know man. The first time you slide halfway into an intersection, you'll find it a lot less painful to replace those "perfectly good tires". Those Dunslops are horrible and that's why they're taking up space in my garage instead of on the truck. Hell I can't even find anyone to give them away to, they're so bad.

 

It WAS the most superior of all Tacoma colors..... Until Magnetic Grey came along. I could have had a silver one right away. I like the color, and they hide the dirt nicely, but they're everywhere. I insisted on waiting a month for the Magnetic Grey to come in (3 weeks left).

My only remorse is that I wish I could have gone for the 4x4 v6. I don't need it, and can't really afford it right now... well I could, but don't want to push my budget... But I would still love to have it.

Other than that, I really hate the LED tail lights on my '09, and the center console in the back seats, but I get side airbags and a KILLER color. So I'm happy.

 

well when you get it let me know, i might trade yours for mine on my '07- they're still in perfect condition.

 

I like the LED's... Once I got my topper mounted and did a partial debadge of my tailgate, they don't look so bad.

 

I should have gotten the tow package, but it isn't a big deal since I've never had to tow anything due to having a Z71 and a Duramax to use for that...but being that my Taco gets better gas mileage it might be nice to have a hitch to tow a small trailer and quad, I wouldn't need to entire package anyway.
Would have been nice to have different tires/rims than the dunlop/steelies, but I'm getting black rims and BFG's anyway.
Keyless entry would have been nice, but I didn't think about it at the time...might ask for that for my birthday .

And Impulse Red Pearl is the ultimate superior color and my 1st choice.

 

The only thing I wish I would of gotten on this truck is the tow package, other than that third times a charm.

 

mine had no options haha. its as basic as it gets and i love it. so much less to break or worry about

 

You just gave yourself some very bad juju!

 

4X4 would also have been nice but it fell in the "want" category.

 

+1 - Sunroof.
