    Hello, Everybody, I'm a new member on this forum and about to purchase the 2013 Tacoma V6 auto with SR5 package, only add the bed mat for extra. ( I'm ready to keep this truck for over 10 years, that's why I want to buy 2013 ). Please give me some advice or share the experience what accessories I should buy or avoid. And most important is where or which dealer have a reasonable deal. Thanks in an advance. Cheer.:)

    I have a 2012 Tacoma just 3 months old now. My best advice is:
    1) pick a dealer that does not play games
    2) know what options, packages you want and what is in them
    3) buy a truck in the color YOU want to look at for 10 years.
    4) If the Dealer plays games and you feel like he is manipulating you be prepared to walk out, it is YOUR money! I personally feel the price is secondary to getting the right truck, but do shop for a good interest rate as this can change you payment as much as a "deal" on the truck.

    Welcome to TW!

    Out of the factory? Prob not much to accessorize right off the bat. Most people will go aftermarket and in some cases you can get something nicer/better quality that way too. All depends on what you plan on using it for and you building your truck to be suitable for your use... Hit up the vendors area in the forum, and shop around. Best of luck

    Silver is without a doubt the best color to hide the scratches.
