MARYLAND TACOMAS

Morning peeps, happy Friday!

 

Just seen a Toyota commercial offering 3.9% for 72 months on new Tundras through TFS. Best I’ve seen in a while!

While I am not in any type of hunt for a new truck… if I were, I’d be going up in chassis size. Not sure why these new Tacomas are so expensive? Personally, I think they look too much like every other new mid sized truck. If you lined up a new Frontier, Colorado and Tacoma with no badging they’d be had to differentiate from. Sorry guys, I’m just not on board. Especially cutting down to a 4cyl too? I’ll leave it on the lot for someone else to have.

 

It's gonna take a while for most to warm up to the turbo 4 cylinder idea. I personally love it, but that's just me. They're all stupid expensive no matter the make; unfortunate all around.

 

Good morning neighbors.

@Taco1004 I agree with your assessment...too bloody expensive!

Not interested in a larger truck so staying happy with my Midnight Black Sporty Spice!

TGI Friday!!!

 

Morning all.

I just like new and shiny. Id also get one with a moon roof. Nothing better than driving down the highway on a hot day with all the windows and moonroof open.

 

That's my biggest problem However I don't go on vacations, go out to eat, party, etc. so one of my splurges is a newer truck.

 

My wife’s Elantra has moon roof…I love driving her car.

 

Totally get that… I love shiny new toys as well. Can’t tell you how many times I came close to trading my 2020 in on a Limited. And only because I wanted the brown two-tone interior and a sunroof. But the wife, being the voice of reason, said I was basically an idiot. Be happy with my beautiful truck and forget about it. Unless I traded it on a T4R or Sequoia… then she was all about it for some reason!

 

The new 4R look nice too! My wife is also the voice of reason, also calls me an idiot for wanting something new when there is nothing wrong with what I have now.

 

Morning all.

@Taco1004 i agree. There’s a thread somewhere around here comparing the Ranger Raptor to the 4th Gen TRD Pro and it’s obvious that the Raptor is the better deal (if you take the Toyota reliability factor out of the equation).

Although I will say I had a Ford back in the day and that thing was extremely reliable, but that was before they started putting iPads in center consoles.

 

You know what it is

 

Morning champs!

 

PS anyone looking for a Stihl gas powered trimmer?

 

I am, actually. String? If it'll take a brush-cutting blade...

 

Being all of the place in what I’m doing, still looking at regearing as well.

Exteme 4 Wheel parts in Towson would charge about 3700 parts and labor for a regear.

id probably just buy the diffs from ECGS and do it myself if I regear.


Then there is this 4R Pro for 56k-https://www.toyota.com/search-inven...pcode=21014&vin=JTELU5JR3R6267392&trim[]=8674

 

You should just by that 4Runner and re-gear it.



So many options…

 

It's a Stihl FS 56 RC-E 16.5" gas powered trimmer and, according to the Q/A from Stihl, a 'grass metal blade' is compatible.

It's well taken care of, manufactured only 4 years ago last month, I can take some photos tonight. $230ish new, trying to get somewhere close to 200ish. Has less than a dozen hours on the engine, definitely too much for my yard. I'm switching to electric

 

Im a big dreamer

 

Thanks - I'll dig into more info; need something that can cut through 1" diameter, etc, small trees/plants. More to follow...

 

Ugh! You had to do it… that’s the color my wife is currently in love with (myself too). I shouldn’t have, but just sent her the link!
