Brand new to TW and Tacoma

I have been deciding on a new truck for several years. I feel like I read 100's of posts on different trucks on many different forums.

I even read several posts on Tacoma vs (name your full size truck here).

After countless hours of thought and online research. I began talking to several local dealerships and test driving trucks.

It was important for me to purchase a truck that would perform well as a daily driver, a good off road vehicle and .......well.......a truck.

The Tacoma simply met all my needs.

After selling my old trusty Jeep Cherokee, I purchased a 2014 Tacoma Baja edition. I am very happy with this truck, its look and drive-ability.

Would like to say thanks to the TW community for providing guidance as I frequented this site as a nonmember soaking up all the great information.

Reading these threads, you get a real feel for how much people love their Tacoma.


One last thing. Regarding the pic, no I was not visiting the DressBarn, lol. I was actually at SportClips.

 

Welcome bud, nice truck. Prepare to empty your wallet.

 

Cool truck! what comes standard with the Baja edition?

 

Nice rig! Welcome!

 

It comes standard with the TRD OR package and the TX Baja package (see below).

TRD TX BAJA Series: TRD Bilstein High Performance Off-Road Shocks (66mm Front Shocks with Eibach Red Coil Springs and 50mm Rear Shocks with Remote Reservoir), 16inch TRD Bead-Lock Style Wheels with LT265/70R166 BF Goodrich All Terrain T/A KO Tires, TRD Cat-Back Exhaust, Vehicle Side Graphics, TRD Exterior badges

They say it has about a 2inch factory lift over the regular TRD OR tacoma, but everyone likes to throw their own number out there, although I doubt many have actually measured the difference. If someone wants to measure their TRD OR, I will measure my Baja for comparison.

 

Welcome! Nice Baja!

Nothing wrong with a new dress to go with your new truck.

 

Welcome and be prepared to take flack for your Baja haha.

 

Don't think I didn't try to blur that store name out. I need better Photoshop skills!

 

Sharp truck Eric! And Welcome to the club.

 

I am not worried. I have my reasons for buying the Baja, despite what anyone else thinks I should have done with MY money

 

Congradulations on the purchase and welcome to TW

 

Your right man and the Baja suspension is a good balance between off road and on road capability. Personally I wish I had gotten one but they didn't have it in magnetic gray metallic so I think I will just go mid travel on my truck and call it good.

 

That was the color I originally wanted as well. But I have to admit, the black continues to grow on me.
