    TRD Off-Road 4 by
    So I know some of you might jump down my throat, others might sympathize with my decision...But I welcome all opinions!

    2020_Tacoma_TRD_Off_Road_04_FB37D611AA35F4B7FC1D83190DFDE629E02C146B-1131x800.jpg I just bought my 1st 2020 Toyota Tacoma TRD OFF-ROAD 4x4 from Enterprise Car Rental. It had 26k miles in 1.2 years so it was heavily used. However, when I popped the hood checked inside and underneath, and finally drove it...it was extremely clean inside and out for a rental, new looking in fact, fluids were fresh, no leaks, or rust or damage on the chasis, and it drove smooth! Although it had an error code for bad charging or something rather...When I checked the battery it had corroded terminals. After I cleaned it and sprayed the red stuff on the terminals, the code has not returned. I made the decision to pull the trigger on this because: 1. I bought my last two cars a Hyundai and a Nissan this way and put +100k miles on top of what they already had from enterprise with no problems before I traded or sold them 2. I walked away having paid only $32,500 for the Taco with sub 2% Interest (equaling to a payment I could stomach on my teacher salary, and left enough cash in my budget immediately to upgrade to new A/T Tires and other minor stuff like LED's, a Tonneau Cover, Bed Mat, Etc...and monthly cash space to continue building it up to what I want it to be...) The same Brand Spanking New Truck at my local Toyota dealer here in CA with 15 miles on it was selling for damn near $44k! And the salesman rather arrogantly said that they're not negotiating in 2021...so what the hell?? At any rate, my only concern so far about this truck is the fact that it was made in Baja Mexico. Should I be concerned?

    I have the same truck and no regrets! You should be under factory warranty so if anything causes you concern get it looked at, but I doubt you encounter any problems. These trucks are bullet proof and will take you anywhere, congrats on the purchase!

    The only concern you have is where the truck was “made”? Interesting.
