Would you buy again / new?

I agree. I’d definitely buy again. I only recently traded my 2020 in due the crazy inflated used market prices offered to buy used Tacoma’s

I did significant mods to mine and experienced zero problems. I will be back for another 3rd Gen in a year or two.

I just needed more towing capability and a little more interior space.

 

Yeah - I'd do it again...bought new in Jan '19...I'm at 128K miles now...many in 4WD - great little truck. I drove 800 miles yesterday...

 

No, I would not and I actually went with a different brand. While my '19 will always be in my heart, I don't miss her at all. The Tacoma is a great truck, I just would not buy a gen 3 again. The good news is that if you buy one and don't like it, you can probably sell it at a profit in this crazy valuation times.

 

What did you go with this time?

 

I'd buy again, just not at these prices lol. In my area, a DCSB Offroad premium is easily 8-10k more than what I paid for my 2020.

Super happy with my ownership experience so far. I have my complaints and I have my praises, but overall it's the perfect truck for my lifestyle right now.

 

I went with a Jeep Gladiator.

They wanted a $7K markup for a Tacoma TRD Pro and no discounts on any other trim, plus a 2 month wait. I spotted a bunch of Gladiators sitting at a dealership, so stoped to take a look. Long story short, I got $5K knocked off MSRP, so I drove one home. First Jeep ever and second time buying an American brand and could't be any happier.

 

My current 2019 is my third Tacoma and I'll absolutely buy another one when the time comes. It's a bummer that every other midsize truck has pulled away from the Tacoma in terms of HP/TQ, but that's easy to fix with some mods and none of them come close to Toyota in regards to reliability

 

My 19 Tacoma was my first vehicle I ever bought new, I was 26 at the time. It’s also going to be the last vehicle I ever buy new again. It was fun/cute buying a new vehicle but they cost way to much. I’ll stick with my truck until the frame breaks in half, then I’ll just get a new frame for it and swap it out in my backyard when that time comes.

 

In answer to the ?, yes.

 

Just picked up my 3rd, third gen Taco and couldn’t be happier! Prior to that I’ve owned 2 second gen and 3 first gen Toyota mini trucks dating back to my first ever, a white 79 2WD. Ya, old guy here.

 

I had a 1996 Gen 1 for 6 years, then a 2005 Gen 2 for 14 years and I now have had Gen 3 2018 for about 4 trouble free years. I have loved all three Gens and would absolutely buy a new Tacoma again!

 

You’re gonna love it. Traded in my 2019 Taco ORSB for a 2020 Rubicon JT and despite my trepidation it’s turned out to be an absolutely fantastic ride. I’ve already put over 20k miles on it. Never in my life have I liked a truck as much as I do this one. It’s crazy because I’ve been a Toyota guy my whole life but the Gladiator converted me.

 

I love my truck, 2017 TRD OR. It is the best Taco to date bar none. Which is logical. Improvements are always made to new models. Gen 4 should be better than all before it, and I hope it is. But I love mine so much, it is a keeper and I won't be looking to upgrade.
