2012 TACOMA MEGA-THREAD

Dude...look through this thread.

You could practically build your own with all the shit in this thread about the stereos.

V6 has never been available on the regular cab 2nd gens...sorry man

 

The engine bay is the same size regardless of the cab type, so what's the bloody problem? Why the hell should I pay like 3 grand more for the access cab when I don't want the freakin access cab? I have a regular cab Ranger sitting here, which is smaller than a Tacoma, and I have a small block V8 in it!!!

 

I would imagine the bloody problem is that the market for people willing to buy a V6 in a reg cab is too small to justify the engineering and verification of the shorter driveline.

Which is to say, that while it is technically feasible for Toyota to service every niche of the market, it's not necessarily realistic for them to do so.

 

Lack of availability of a V6 is bad, but the only automatic transmission you can get with a 4 banger in any cab is a 4 SPEED! I guess if you want another gear you have to shift yourself.

 

Well, what's the point in dropping $30k on a new vehicle if you can't get it built the way you want it?

 

This video might be instructive.

 

I haven't been following but, you can get a regular cab for less than $30k.

My guess would be closer to 20k Reg cab taco
reg cab tundra with supercharger maybe 30k

 

Oh, that bluetooth and usb sold me on a 12 over an 11. Just put your mp3s on a cheap flash drive and let it play.

 

Anyone seen a DC in the new Spruce Mica in person yet? I'd be interested in a pic and/or your opinion of how it compares to the online pics. All I see around here right now are white/silver/black.

I am looking at a DCLB TRD Sport. Debating between the Super White, Barcelona and Spruce...

 

Out of those three, I would go with Super White. Just my opinion.

Fink

 

Yeah, I think that is the way I'm leaning. But my last four vehicles have been: white - black - black - white. So I'm also thinking about stepping out. My wife's VW is red, and it doesn't seem to be too high maintenance. I really like this truck in black, but I also like to keep my vehicle looking clean.

 

Ya but he wants a regular cab V6 which is unavailable...

 

Lol hey man relax...I was just answering your question...u wanna complain go to Toyota sorry

Anyways...what's the problem with getting an access cab? You get they extra rear room and if u need to take 3 people they fit (not comfortable) but good enough for a quick work trip or something

 

Then stick with your Ford and go join their bloody forum!

Isn't there a TSB for whining.......

 

HA HA HA HA Good one. I had to listen to the entire thing. Great song. In my case, I just was told that there have only been two Blue Tacos with ENTUNE made in Socal so far and I want the DCLB. A few issues accuiring it, but should be ordered on the 15th next week. Looks like I may have to work a few deals here and there after the delivery like the tube steps and wheels, but as far as the supercharger, my dealer, (bro-in-law) is talking with TRD and still trying to make it happen by Dec. We will soon see. I will keep you posted with the news. I know the Supercharger is a question for a few. Merry Chrismas to me!

 

Grats!

I was just at the dealership today and the sales dude told me that my Blue AC MT Sport is still the only one in the country like it. I don't know how true that is, but my truck is sufficiently rare that it doesn't matter much. He had to go to some trouble to get it, however.

Now, I need someone to wreck their DC with Entune, so I can steal the headunit from the junkyard. Apparently, they won't sell them aftermarket because Toyota hates me.

 

Question, does your 4x4 switch light up?? I hope Toyota fixed that problem...

 

No. Same reason. Toyota hates me. I'll be modding that too one of these days.
