Almost a Tacoma Owner.

Hi everyone,

I've been trolling and reading for a while. Long story short, I drove my sisters Tacoma from Fort St James British Columbia Canada to Halifax Nova Scotia in August towing a 6100 lb trailer. She has a 2016 TRD Sport and wanted to move back home after living out there for years.

I had always wanted a truck ever since I was a kid but alas, had been living in the city and hadn't / couldn't justify it.

After spending 3 weeks with her truck, 8 days moving her and then another 2 weeks isolating... I fell in love with it. I know some complain about the seating position, some complain about the transmission, but overall, I absolutely loved driving that truck with the monster covered trailer behind it. So much so , I started my quest to find one... Like others mentioned here, there are none available , I was looking for weeks, and time was running out for the sales for EOY 2020 models.

Finally, a dealer reached out and said they had a 2020 VooDoo Blue TRD offroad premium on the way to their shop... said it would be there tomorrow... 2 hour drive with the wife later and sales agreement signed. Can't wait...

I look forward to learning a lot from you and maybe even meet up with some at some point.

Any tips , advice and advice is welcome...

Cheers for now and see you around the forums.

 

Great color! And great choice! Enjoy it. Welcome to TW

 

Ohh this could get expensive , I love the bumper , first up is getting the thing undercoated, Nova Scotia is terrible for vehicles biodegrading.

 

Welcome and congrats Andy

 

Oh, it’s gonna get expensive lol

Just avoid the rubberized under coating and you should be alright.

 

Hope the dealership does not screw you out of your deal.

 

I just talked to them , and they do use the rubberized stuff although they swear it doesn't get hard with a 10 year warranty , a couple thousand bucks.. Krown it is for me, 150 per year and they do the doors frame and everything with a warranty to boot.

 

Krown isn't bad, but I've seen mixed results with it vs say, Fluid Film/woolwax or cosmoline products. Definitely way better than the rubberized undercoating (ask me how I know).

 

Hey! I had the same problem finding my 2020 Voodoo Blue! I’m in AL but found it at a dealership in Texas! We called on Monday and did paperwork overnight , had it shipped here in 6 days!! The funny thing was I had never even driven a Tacoma ! My dad had a tundra he adored in 2003-4 ! My brother had had three Tacoma’s! So I was in for a shock ! I saw it after I had purchased it , I’m still in love
Congrats on that fab color!!

 

yea apparently there aren't many in that color here. The dealers brother has a TRD pro in that color with the snorkel , I haven't seen any other.

 

Drove her home today.. no hiccups except I have to go back to get some more stuff put on. 3/4 of a tank of gas gone already

 

Man, you must have taken the really long way home....

 

I "Accidently" took the Collingwood exit and drove down through Westchester Station and took the 4 to the farm market. Then went to New Minas last night for a drive.

The road to Westchester Station off the 104 is terrible, oh well the suspension got a work out lol.

 

Welcome!
