Confused poster

I have no idea whether I'm doing this correctly or not; this is my first forum post ever. Please excuse me if I am in errors. I purchased my Tacoma a month ago and I think it is my best vehicle ever. I had a 2010 with an access cab and it was too small a space for my dog so I was interested in getting one with a double cab. I wasn't really in the market for a new one because my old one only had 39,000 miles on it. I was getting an oil change at my local dealer, looking for a way to spend the time, waiting. I asked the salesman about a used 2012 double cab they had for sale, and before you know it I was running the numbers on a new 2015 with every thing on it I could possibly want. To my surprise, my payments are lower and I'm driving a new truck which feels like a luxury car on the inside with enough power to haul a half ton of wood pellets like there is nothing in the bed. Coming from a 4 cylinder that had a tough time going up mountains without shifting into third to this is amazing. I'm not happy with the fuel efficiency but hopefully the prices will stay low for awhile. I am glad I bought this year's model because I like the looks of it better than what is in store for 2016. I also don't need a more powerful engine or newer transmission than this one; my passing gear is awesome and I love being able to shift to all the lower gears manually when needed. The only things I am missing are a temperature gauge for outside temperature, a front window defroster with wires in the windshield, and clear directions for when and how I use all the buttons on the dash. I might have to buy a remote starter in the near future if this winter gets any worse.

And I'm one of the Dave's, Hi!

 

welcome aboard. Is your name dave by any chance?

 

Welcome!

 

Welcome to TW and congrats on your new 2015 Tacoma!

 

Why surprised? It was financed a lot longer, so in the end you wind up paying a lot more.

Doesn't anyone teach basic economics anymore?

Glad you like the truck. It would be terrible to not enjoy something you write a check for every month.
