3rd GEN BARCELONA RED TACOMAS!!

I have no idea how to do that. Didn't even think of it.

 

Mine finally came in last Tuesday (Taco Tuesday!). Never got the satisfaction of driving her off the dealership lot as she was delivered from out of town. But it was like the ultimate online purchase when the delivery truck pulled up with her.

 

Figured it was time to add to the thread since my build is coming around since picking her up late February.

 

I get mine tomorrow, will be delivered to my work sometime around lunch time. Will post a pic when I take the keys

 

How is this color for pin-striping? Curious if its better than my inferno

 

You can definitely see some of them. The metallic finish helps to conceal a little but some of them you can't help but notice.

Awesome, thanks!

 

You can pick up a can on Amazon for ~$15

 

Short of the Cement thread, I noticed Barcelona Red doesn't get nearly as much activity as the other color threads (Inferno, MGM, White, etc.). Is it because we're not as yappy? Or is red not nearly as popular? I know it was difficult to find Barcelona Red when I was looking.

 

Good question. I started out shopping with Magnetic Grey as my top choice, but then I saw one online just like the one I eventually purchased that was Barcelona Red and I loved it. When I got to the dealership to look at it, it had just been leased the afternoon prior by one of their own sales managers. They didn't have anything on the lot that matched up with the features I was looking for in my budget at the time, so I was ready to walk. They said they would find me one, and they did. I told them I would take it in Barcelona Red (now my first choice), Magnetic Grey, or White. The one they found was BR and almost identical to the one that had just been leased. They had it for me the next evening and I picked it up the day after. It's a beautiful color...but I do love that magnetic grey.

 

First Tacoma and love it.

 

I hear ya. My original top color choices were Inferno, BR and MGM. While waiting for an Inferno to be ordered, I changed my mind once a saw a BR in person and revised my order; another 8-12 week wait. Then a dealer out of town got a hold of me (through TW!) said he had a BR with my specs coming in a few weeks, so then I changed dealers on that account. While waiting for the out-of-town BR to be delivered, my original dealer said he got a hold of a MGM. So I was left with the option of getting a MGM immediately or wait out delivery of the BR. That was an excruciating 2-week wait! #firstworldproblems

 

It's nice. I like the 18" wheels. The truck looks level. Did you have anything done to it, or is it just the angle of the pic? I'm really wanting to raise my front a bit to level it out, but I'm concerned my 17's will look to small if I do...plus there's the expense of having it done.

 

It's because they don't make as many. I'm trying to buy one right now, and if I stay local I'm out almost 6 weeks. If I open up my search into surrounding states, I found 1. I'm fairly loyal to my dealer as they've helped me out on some stuff in the past, but I don't want to wait 6 weeks or pay $400 to have one shipped in from out of state. I may just go MGM since there seems to be plenty of those around.

 

No suspension mods yet. I've only swapped the chrome mirror covers for color matched and changed the grill. I hope to get it clean soon to take a better pick. I took that pic the evening I installed the grill.

 

Just wanted to Drop by and say Hello to all.
Had her about a month now. Love the red.
