What are you paying for 2020 Tacomas?

Sometimes you just gotta do what you have to. I had to drive with the wife from the nw corner of connecticut to boston ma. to get a tacoma with what i wanted in it. I just couldn't deal with nearby toyota dealers at a reasonable price.

 

Same when I lived in Jersey, had to drive into PA to get a decent deal, worst dealers to work with were in NJ, best have been AZ.

 

Had a dealer here in NC tell me the truck I wanted was so “Unique” there was no room to discount it. I told the guy you either want to sell me a truck or you dont. Get the truck I want and lets negotiate a price and Ill buy it. They didn’t want to play so I went and found it myself.

 

The best is when they follow up asking if you want to try and put something together still or are in the market. I sometimes will email back with a picture of me and the new truck, nah brah you done f*cked up and lost a sale, lol.

 

Oh I totally plan on it. I got to take my wife’s van in for a service so Ill find the guy then and show him.

 

I went back through and looked at my truck and looked at their report. I thought I was at 19 thousand at the end of the first year but I was over 21, I got it serviced in Iowa when I went back home to clean out my dads house, at that point I had it for less than 11 months and I was over 20 thousand.

 

Looking at a used 2018 DCSB OR, 18k miles. Price is $27,900. I feel like this is a great deal. Dealer had the truck listed as an SR, but visually it’s def an OR model, VIN confirms as well. Worth? Or should I wait for the new 2021 Tacomas...

 

Doesn’t sound like a bad deal, is there a reason to wait for a 21? They just did a minor refresh this year so I’d wonder if they’d be doing a complete overhaul for 21. I could be wrong and I have heard the rumors at the dealership about a possible diesel next year.

 

I know the Tundra is going to be a completely new truck next year, they are stopping productions of the Tacos in Texas to make the new Tundra at that plant, so maybe there’s a new Taco coming as well.

 

no reason to wait other than save up more money and pay off current debts. I’m itching to get into a Tacoma though, and if I could talk them down to 26-27k for a lightly used 2018 OR, I feel like that’s a steal. Plan to mod it over the years as well. Yeah I agree I think it’s just a refresh for 2021. I just really like the 3rd gens

 

New Taco isn’t till 2024, this was a mid cycle refresh. Info was leaked from a dealer meeting early this year. It’ll share the new TGNA frame with the new 2022 tundra and new T4R slated for 2023.

 

What’s the deal with the frame? I also heard the new Tundra is getting a new twin turbo v-6 in the line up. I haven’t seen any pictures but the salesman I talked to yesterday said he had, probably out there I’m just not invested in the Tundra so I don’t really care, anyway said he saw pictures with it wrapped and it had that curved mini van look I’d imagine like the new Rangers has.

 

certified?
I’d be all over that

 

There have been "rumors" floating around about a Tacoma diesel since kingdom come. It's not going to happen.

They have a few more years before the changeover to the new TNGA. Not enough time to bother with a new powertrain and they've committed to going hybrid in all their future platforms.

 

I understand the Rumors being around for ever and wouldn’t have paid it any attention except for it came from the service manager at the Toyota dealership, and the fact the Chevy and Ford both had the option I could imagine they’d want to, but I’d imagine you are correct about hybrids in the future platforms.

 

Toyota New Generation Architecture (TGNA). They are retooling their designs and architecture to be more universal and allow more parts sharing (thus reducing costs). The Tundra, Sequoia, 4Runner, and Tacoma will all be based on the same architecture.

They are also abandoning the V8. The V6 TT will be the largest engine in the next gen Tundra and very possible a turbo 4cyl will be the engine for next gen Tacomas. And of course hybrid as well.

 

Just saw an article saying the Colorado would be dropping the diesel and V6 as well and just going to a single turbo 4cyl option in a couple years as well.

I guess we'll all see!

But as others have said, they just did a pretty big refresh on the Tacoma in 2020, so I wouldn't expect much change if any in 2021.

 

Best of luck to all of your cohorts, I am surprised that there is such a high number of students with issues at such a late stage in their studies. When I went to school, we had about 1/4 of the class drop out in the first semester, but only one or two dropped out after that. Yes, it is surprising that more states have not joined the Compact, it opens a lot of doors.

 

Kind of sad ... the 5.7 is iconic !

 

Just sucks, I drove a righthand drive diesel Hilux overseas. Always wished they had one here, I’m sure it has to do with our emissions.
