10 Reasons I'm not Rushing Out to Buy

Virtually nobody “needs” a new truck, though. It’s almost always a decision related to when you want it badly enough.

Wise words...

 

Sometimes I wish I had your self-control. Then again, in my case at least, the only luxury I afford myself is getting a new vehicle every 3-5 years or so.

The mental gymnastics for me is convincing myself it's more of a need than a want. My use case has legitimately evolved over the years, and that's my go to for self-justifying a change. My recent decision to trade two perfectly serviceable vehicles for new GX's is a perfect example of that.

In the end it truly is a "to each their own" situation, as it should be.

What's wrong with a Ridgeline? Different horses...

 

Nothing wrong with an Odyssey with the back chopped off

 

Reason 11:

nobody sells raptor lights for it (yet)

 

I was going to give you a hard time like some of the others after reading the title, but I agree with just about everything you say. I'm giving it 2 years to work the bugs out and then if all is good I'll look at an OR hybrid. I'm 54 years old and have learned Never buy a first production year, and never pay over MSRP.

 

Reason 12: I'm broke

 

Why would you assume this? My wife and I just dropped cash on both a new 2023 Limited and a 2024 4Runner Sr5 Premium. Saved up for years to do this.

Oh yeah, #11, the 2024 looks ugly as can be. I would buy a Canyon if left with this as the only Tacoma option.

 

If you’re into my little pony…

 

Real tough guys establish their masculine identity by their decision of what car they buy.

 

Or how long their truck bed is

 

I got a cheap set of raptor lights you can have for 1/2 price. I’m always looking out for my TW brothers.

 

No argument with any of 1-10: especially #5 and #6. I would never order a 2024 or future Tacoma unless I could check: "factory delete" on that rediculous screen dominating the entire dash. That said, I would gladly pay extra for a full-instrumentation package, even if it cost more than the "Drive-In" touch screen.

2024/25 is going to be a good year to buy a late-production Tundra, especially if you want a stripped version that's sitting on the lot: Early bugs addressed, ridiculous dealer mark-ups on 2024 Tacomas so they overlap the MSRP of the Tundra. Dunno. But they should definitely try to find away to put a Lexus V8 into their full-sized pick-up offering. They don't get it: Ford, Chevy and Dodge are laughing their guts out. All they need to do is keep the check-box available to order a V8. Stupi-do. The Lexus V8 was the only real reason anyone purchased a T-100. The thing was smaller than a 2nd gen Tacoma. (and if it wasn't actually by chance by a few inches here and there: it certainly looked like it.

 

You need 8' to fit the California king.
