EDIT $52,000 TACO OFF ROAD. ACTUAL MSRP, NO DEALER MARK UP!

Where did you spec that out, a local dealer page? Maybe it’s a regional thing but I don’t get half those options off Toyota.com

Some of those items don’t even make sense..... the console safe? I paid less than that directly through Locker Down.

I also hate seeing $2100 for rims and tires. The base price includes the OEM Off Road rims with Goodyear Wranglers, so the $2100 add on replaces those without taking that already paid for amount into consideration.

When I spec’d it out I was able to add the bead lock rims for $1000 but no tire “upgrade”.

I wouldn’t say Tacoma’s have doubled in price from 20 years ago when back then you couldn’t add all these little trinkets to the truck from the factory.

 

5 foot beds are actually very useful.

 

If I pulled into the dump without a cover, they would turn me away.

 

Well its got a shitload of cosmetic options, but yeah even the basic trd off road is not cheap these days. Inflation sir...

 

Really? Never an issue here. I make sure everything is tight and ive never had anything fly off my box.

 

Strait off of Toyota.com

You can literally opt out of the premium package ($5,100) and all those accessories... That's what I did. I got my 2019 TRD OR DCSB for $38,000 including taxes. I did get the tow package and weathertech floor mats, but opted out of everything else. I've literally upgraded my truck over the past 2 years with way better parts than what they were trying to sell me.

Buy what you want, do what you want with it, call it a day.

 

I saw an SR listed for 41 and some change. I am pretty sure it was a misprint on the site as there was not much info on the vehicle. For a moment I thought I found a Cement SR access cab with SX pkg.

 

I feel like I got my 2018 at the perfect time for tacoma prices... 33k total out the door for my truck brand new. Same truck in a 2021 form is 40k plus fees, taxes, delivery and all that crap.

over 10k increase in 3 years. Thats a 33% price increase If they are jacking the price up 3k a year, I cant wait to see what they want to sell 4th gens for.

 

SE Toyota would be a separate entity from Toyota themselves. Its another middleman for several states in the SE USA.

 

Looks like the base moved up quite a bit.

My 16 sport- middle tier spec'd was 32 (tech package but not premium)
My 18, also middle tier spec, was 35.

Looks like this years price will be between 39-40 for the same truck.

 

My 14 TRD with a few options was 32k and I thought that was too much

 

Here's who's to blame. How dare they!

 

Short bed more than capable.

 

I remember purchasing my TRD Offroad Tacoma in 2013 with every option minus the JBL sound for 28K.

Seems those days are long gone and prices have gone thru the roof.

 

I blame instagram. There are a few insta trucks around here with rooftop tents and recovery boards that have never been used.

 

a foot is a few inches?

 

basically a trd pro without the hoodscoop

 

Inflation alone would make 25k go to almost 37k over a 20 year period... I paid under 37k for my OR and got a bigger, safer, and more fuel efficient truck, so I actually feel pretty good about prices.

Real lesson is don't get dealer options.

 

I don’t think your photo supports your point... there’s more pool table hanging off than there is in the bed. You made it work but a longer bed would’ve made it easier.

Plus short beds are too short to fit a pair of skis which makes them useless to me. I think it’s so dumb seeing all the DCSB bros on the way to the mountain with a loaded roof rack and an empty bed.

not to mention the weekly “can I camp in my short bed” threads.
