    Just purchased a used 2019 Silver Tacoma last week. I have been looking for a few months and finally pulled the trigger. I downsized from a full size F150 supercab. I drove up to the Bay Area as it had options I liked and couldn't find in So Cal for a reasonable price. It has the Off Road Wheels, a sliding tonneau cover, the JBL system, dual climate with heated leather seats etc. I liked the step also but find it useless to get in the truck. It's now just a door protector I guess. Looking forward to contributing on this forum as always, I have several mods I plan on installing.

    Your experience is the norm... When I lived in the Bay Area I came down here to buy my Harley,. My buddy also came down here to buy his Victory. For whatever reason, I found this deal in Walnut Creek and jumped on it. As a starting point, it had everything I was looking for and was thousands cheaper than down here for the same truck.

    That's funny....It's the only way it fit. I only pulled it in to wax it as it was raining outside. The garage is for my wife's Murano and my Harley. The Tacoma sits outside. If it fit better it would also be inside.
