Get a lightly used gx 460 or a nice example of a gx470 and mod the hell out of it.

Yeah, you see, that logic just doesn't make sense to me. A vehicle is allowed to be a "fashion" statement. Otherwise, why doesn't everyone on TW drive a silver or white Tacoma? It's the most utility based color, unlike Inferno, Voodoo, Cavalry, etc... whether you like to think of it this way or not, it's an image vehicle.

If I have to drive a vehicle and I'm not struggling with paying for it, of course I'm going to drive something that I like the "look" or "image" of. By your logic, if I work in a cubicle, I should drive a Prius, because it's the most commuter friendly car possible. My logic is that if I've got to be stuck in traffic commuting to work, I might as well like the way I look and feel in it.

I see your point. I don’t know if I never used my truck I’d be in something with either better performance or mpg, lots of non boring options for commuter vehicles too.

2 yrs forward, now I am sitting in my office, thinking if I gonna get another taco again. I swear with myself I will never get a turtle speed like 2.7 taco double cab and here I am just searching for another one. Just my little confession and hopefully I may join y'all once again

I’m taking about perceived image, not content or features. “Look I drive a truck, I’m handy, rugged, listen to Florida Georgia Line and camp and sh*t” when in reality I never leave pavement, work in a cubicle and maybe use the bed once a year for mulch at Home Depot.

Don't agree here. How are white and silver considered "utility based color." Mercedes, BMW, Audi all make beautiful silver and white colors. Tacoma Pro comes in white. Not too many people hauling loads with a pro taco. That is only YOUR opinion that certain colors are fashion statements and some are not.

What are the most common fleet vehicle colors? That's why I consider those colors utility colors.

And of course that's MY opinion...

White is chosen to save on fuel costs. It does not absorb heat like a dark color.

And what fleet cars are silver?

Wait til they get the Howl in the rear diff fixed at the factory.

How fast do you really need a pickup truck to be?
Get another 2TR

CaptainBart45 · Jan 9, 2020

Time out! Why are you looking at another 2.7, you swore you wouldn't get, when the truck is available with a 3.5? If it's a financial decision then there may be a go around. If you just insist on getting a vehicle that you know your not going to be able to stand in a couple of months, or years, then I don't understand. WTF over

itzyoboipaul · Jan 9, 2020

Sound like me

I had my 2013 DCSB 2.7L. Drove that for 5yrs. Traded it in for a fancy 2018 Infinti Q50 twin turbo sedan. Drove that for 3 months and traded her in for my new 2020 2.L DCSB SR

Get another Tacoma and keep it.

Huh? My wife's BMW has been fantastic, only about 58k on it so we will see what the future holds but so far so good.

Anyway, to the OP, if the BMW and Lexus fit your lifestyle I'd keep those, it's always cheaper to keep what you have. I've considered trading my truck for a 3 series wagon with a manual but I can't pull the trigger yet.

get rid of it before it hits 100k, mine has 72k on it and it's starting to act funny

unless you spring for a TRD with tech/prem at $40k your still gonna be disappointed but sounds like you don’t need a truck so I wouldn’t too many people use them as image vehicles

Im curious why u think trucks are image vehicles...theyre mostly a working man’s tool or a rednecks on true love imo. Just curious why you say that.
