Thinking of buying 2017 Tacoma off road

I am thinking of buying a 2017 tacoma. I have a older chevy Silverado but i need a new vehicle and ive alwaya wanted a tacoma. So can someone tell me what i nees to know about buying the taco amd just being the owner amd whatever else you think i may want to know

 

Have you test drove one yet? Auto or manual trans? If you can rent one for a few days I would consider that money well spent. Going from full size to mid gets some folks panties in a wad, some folks can't stand the auto trans in the new tacos.

 

This is my silverado im located in louisiana if anyone interested

 

Go test drive one. The power delivery and transmission will be very very different and many people dont like it. I personally dont mind it but it does shift more than I think it should. I didnt buy a truck for power and have adjusted to driving my tacoma to how its power is delivered.

 

I test drove one and i really liked it. It was a really nice truck excited to purchase it. Im just waitong to sell my truck.

 

I have ZERO brand loyalty and have owned fords, GM, & Toyota trucks....gas and diesel.

I've NEVER had an issue with any Toyota I've owned. That said, the 3rd gen (MY16 at least...1st year) has not proved itself well in terms of being typical Toyota in reliabilty statistics.

If I was buying one today and it was going to be a Tacoma because I don't do a shit load of after market (way too much driving on the interstate) I'd go for the OR with JBL Tech package. It get a few extra off road things.

Good advice.

Looks good, I like it!

This is a very common complaint.

 

Welcome and good luck on your future purchase!

 

Yeah very interested i will keep this thread updated on what i do!!

 

Welcome to TW!Good luck in your overall decision!
