    Sweet, Congrats! Barcelona Red is a gorgeous color, I followed one on my motorcycle as it drove from sunlight to shade on a winding road and I swear that Taco changed color 10 times.

    Welcome to the club! The advice given by others to walk away from the forum and enjoy your truck isn't bad advice! If you don't understand now, you will soon! LOL
    Sounds like you ordered my exact truck! ENJOY!

    Thanks all! I hope the truck doesn't get stuck in the random quality inspection routine that some seem to be encountering. It should be here in a few weeks. I looked around a lot and there is conflicting information on whether or not the 2023 V6 has a timing belt or chain. Any information you can provide would be appreciated.

    I noticed the SR5 trim doesn't have heated seats and I didn't know that until yesterday after I put down the deposit. Toyota is sort of funny when it comes to accessories. LED headlights, for instance, seem to be a standard across many manufacturers but you can only get them in TRD models of the Taco. Apple car play being wired vs. wireless is also a bit surprising. Another disappointment was watching a Youtube on oil changes (which I do myself) and I see it's a bit more complicated because the filter isn't a disposable cartridge. Oh well, first world problems!

    I know this from painful experience with owning an MX-5 Miata. Interacting with the miata forum costs me money in accessories!

    Mine got pulled for a QC inspection. Resulted in a 6 day delay. I think most of the QC inspection holds is just a nice way to say "sorry we're backed up and this is the best excuse we have".

    Hopefully you're not in a Southeast Toyota Distributors state where that stop at the depot involves getting things like a $395 LED interior lighting upgrade, $1,500 running boards, and $700 for a couple of extra oil changes and some ScotchGuard. I hope yours will arrive quickly and sans overpriced add-on crap. Congrats and enjoy! :)

    All the haves and have nots would have been easily searchable between Toyota's site and TacomaWorld. The SR5 is a great package IMHO, but there's lots of fluff left off that some folks like.

    Actually that's exactly what it is. The housing stays in place, the cartridge is replaced.
