Story Beginning:
I once owned a black 2014 4WD TRD Sport.
I absolutely loved that truck but i traded it for a minivan for my wife in 2018 timeframe. See below

This week i decided to get another Tacoma.
Choosing between a Wind Chill Pearl and a Terra was the first hard decision.
Lets see where this ends up. So it begins again....

 

We came home with a 4WD Terra TRD Sport.
$46,000 out the door.

I wanted to build my own but all of the dealers i spoke to said they dont let you build your own trucks anymore even though it gives the option on the website.

This one does have the 14inch screen. It had a bed step, they would not take it off.

Loving the truck though

Mine fit and look just fine but its not perfect.

 

I have those seat covers (leatherette ver). They fit but like the RC are not perfect. There is a little air gap in the seat back area, I think they all do that.

 

Do you mind posting a pic or 2? Im going to live with mine for now i think but ild like to have leather if i ever rip these up.

geez46k out the door? That’s a REALLY good deal

 

Really? I didnt barter with them at all. I just told them to give me their lowest price that included tax, title, fees and a lifetime powertrain warranty. They came back with 46k for the terra and 46.4k for the pearl.

The only real difference was the paint and bed lighting on the outside as well as the inside of the bed as well as the all weather mats. Mine didnt come with all that. The white one had a plastic bed liner and mine was spray in. They both had bed steps and the 14" radio.
