About to pull the trigger on a 23 Offroad Manual transmission Tacoma tomorrow.

Exactly my problem. They don’t care if you walk away. Especially if you have a manual. I haven’t personally had any issues buying any of my vehicles but it’s becoming more common and folks sign right up for it without even questioning it. Makes it hard for the folks with a brain that want a specific vehicle.

 

That's why I found mine slightly used (2500 miles) as the first guy took that hit. No telling what they added on. I have glass etching so there's no telling what else they added. I paid under market value so the guy took a pretty good hit.

 

Same here. 4500 miles, 9 months old. Was a little skeptical about why it was for sale so early but so far that hasn’t mattered. No clue what originally came on mine either.

 

I had somewhat of a story of why he traded it in so quick, but am still waiting for that "ohhhh that's why" moment

 

I like to pretend my AC evaporator/expansion valve constantly making the wine glass whistle noise scared him away! As opposed to a real, much worse issue that hasn’t reared its head yet lol.

 

I had already had a couple 2nd gens and a 3rd gen, so was already well aware of the oddities

BTW, we have the same truck. Mines MGM as well

 

It is silly. There are a few technical reasons why nitrogen is 'better' than air fill - nitrogen hold less mosture than oxygen is one, and nitrogen will leak more slowly from the tires. But the benefit is so minor as to be not worth thinking about. The charge the dealer is asking is thievery. As I recall my local Costso fills new tires with nitrogen from free.

 

Hold them to the deal in email.

 

I've seen two used '23 MT advertised here in Ontario Canada, since I bought mine. Both around 10k km first is $6000 over msrp the second $8000 over. I paid msrp for mine with 38 km, and 10 of those were my test drive.

 

That's crazy! I paid about $3,000 to $5,000 less than other similar, and slightly higher mileage trucks were going for. I mean, I did buy the truck at a Ford dealer so that might have something to do with it.

 

The Trigger has been pulled
Well pending credit approval I just bought my 2023 Toyota Tacoma OffRoad V6 Manual Transmission with the Premiere Package. Ill change my profile once the deal is inked.

 

Congrats!

 

Congrats. I've had my 23 off road manual for 1300 miles. I absolutely love it. Hope you do as well.

 

Yep. My dealer added $1200 paint protection and undercoating. I didn't want it but me and several hundred other people wanted my truck so I took it. Glad I did too, she's a beauty!

Congrats! You'll love it and not only are all the bugs long since worked out, it's the best looking Tacoma generation ever produced.

 

Automatics suck.

 

When I drive an AT I feel like a passenger with a steering wheel. When I drive a MT I feel like a player in the game.

 

Congrats!
