    I have never seen this style wheel on a Taco before; It was just minutes after I saw the gray Limited in the shopping center parking lot, but I had a DoorDash order to deliver and couldn't get close to this truck...

    All the exterior chrome and the 18" wheels are a dead giveaway, they can also be had with optonal brown leather interior.

    Normally, I would not take picture of a stock DCSB that isn't a TRD Pro, but I do not see Tacomas of any cab/bed configuration in the Limited trim these days! @Gr8fl's brother has a DCSB Limited (and he's also a member, but I forget his username), 2017 in MGM I believe, and I've got pictures of it somewhere in this thread; However, it seems like I see more TRD Sports and TRD ORs than any other trim these days...

    I went to my local Toyota dealer (Thompson Toyota, the one that did my frame replacement in November 2021) to see what they had; In the past, Thompson has had this habit of adding thousands of dollars in modifications to base model "SR" Tacomas and then selling them for damn near the MSRP of a new TRD PRO. This time they used not an SR or an SR5, but a TRD Sport; It's a pretty truck, but they want about fifty grand for it!

    Another one. What a rip off. They must hate you. Have they ever asked you to leave? lol. This dealer is shady AF! Sad part is, someone clearly bought the last one you posted. I can't wait to see them show up here. Unleash the hounds.


    That aint cheap. All they did was tint the front windows. Maybe $200 from a local shop and that should include a sun strip. Nothing these guys do is cheap. They are the type of dealer you avoid at all costs regardless of credit. Usually it's the used car ones pulling these stunts. But this stuff, you will NEVER get positive equity on.

    I think it cost like $160-$200 to get the windows in my RC tinted back in like 2018...?

    Also, this post in no way intended to slam the dealer, but rather just complain about the obscene price of new and used vehicles; There's nothing we can do about it, but it still sucks!

    This is the same dealer that did my frame replacement last November!

    that makes sense, I recently ceramic tinted all 5 windows for $450, so just the 2 front door windows should be a lot cheaper than $299

    Yea that sounds about right. This place just puts "nano" in the name and gives you regular tint - guaranteed.


    Well, if you won't slam em for this stuff, I certainly will. :cool:
    I have zero respect for a place that does this. They might honor warranty items and it's good they fixed your frame, but their tactics are clear cut dishonorable. Sever the head.

    I found another at Thompson that's a bit more subtle, but it's already been spoken for; This one is also a Sport...
