What are you paying for 2020 Tacomas?

I agree completely, I moved from a full sized in 2015 and, for my use, I can’t see myself ever moving back, especially in the multi level parking garages I have to park in when I work downtown, they are hell with a full sized truck.

 

Thanks bud. Our school uses ATI, wont be sitting for the NCLEX till December but thinking about KAPLAN or UWorld just before I take it. Also trying to figure out what state I want to get my license in / practice, since I don't want to be in IL and they aren't a compact state. After I left active duty it was between this ABSN program or mechanical engineering for my 2nd degree, happy I went this route, I wanna go NP, but man am I so over school at this point in life, lol, just about to finish up med surg and pharm this week (sh*t was rough) sitting pretty enough that I can get a 50% on the finals and still pass with a 76%, looks like a 1/3 of our cohort wont be moving on though because of MS.

 

Are you looking for advanced tech package? If not, there were a few cement TRD OR's w/ LED's I saw in SoCal that are available.

 

That was what was hard for me finding the advance tech package.

 

I found two TRD OR's in the SoCal area that has both adv tech/premium pkg. One has no other options, and the other is packed with like $2k of options.

 

He’s looking for Cement though, finding one exactly as you want is always hard.

 

Honestly I drove both, I had the option of getting my same truck w/advanced tech package for another $400 (mine has only the regular tech package), I wasn't impressed enough to add it, the quality is pretty garbage camera wise, but I could see it being useful if you do off road a bit.

 

Yep and that's gonna be a highly desired config, cement OR with all the bells and whistles. Plenty of same config black ones laying around here in chicagoland region, love black, did it once, never again.

 

I totally agree, I couldn’t find one with Advance tech anywhere until I got mine. I’m definitely disappointed with the camera quality. The reverse camera on my 18 was way better. The deal was done and I wasn’t leaving without the new one. I can see now through I could have gone either way.

 

Wondering if there’s a way to change it out for a better camera. Now that’s an upgrade I’d like to see if anyone’s done.

 

Its still cool and maybe I missed out, but to me it was not really a must have like the LEDs, prem and basic tech package were. I didnt really want my tonneau either but my region options all the high optioned trucks with tonneaus, so I have it.

 

I'd imagine it wouldnt be too hard since its already wired.

 

The cover was a must have for me again, I take the truck to the beach and the mountains a lot with the family and weather out here is wet a lot and at random, so the cover helps keep things mostly dry.

 

I've actually grown to like it, makes cleaning the truck easier and like you said bed is all secure. I had it on my 17 and sold it right away when I was in AZ (bike was back there a couple times every week), I went ahead and had mine ceramic coated with the truck since I know they tend to fade, probably hold onto it, can only help resale down the road.

 

Honestly the hardest thing for me was the Manual trans and having it configured the way that I wanted. I’d have gone a few ways with the color, but definitely didn’t want an automatic.

 

Yea, both are cement

 

Yep def a unicorn. I love the JBL and proximity keyless entry. Although I wouldn't mind rowing gears again.

 

Yeah mine on the 18 faded. Did you do the coating yourself or have it done? And if you dont mind me asking what did it cost if you had it done?

 

A little louder stereo would be sweet but I also love the rear seat compartment.

 

I've done some friends and my brother's cars but the taco is my baby so I had it professionally done as I'm still not an expert with the paint correction part and easier to do on a used explorer than a $40k Tacoma. Set me back $900 to have it paint corrected, CQuartz UK 3.0 and Dlux (2 coats) on the truck, tonneau, wheels, cover and had them do the instrument cluster too (since I know that scratches if you look at it the wrong way). I did a few trucks with Ceramic Pro (the over marketed warrantied one) and ran me about $1100 back in AZ, but after doing some research CQuartz UK actually holds up better in colder / salt climates so went that route this time.
