2016 tacoma totalled....what now

Distracted driver. Ugh. As a motorist, that pisses me off and as a motorcyclist it worries me. Why there isn't a real public push to eradicate distracted driving like there was for drunk driving still perplexes me. Thankfully no one was killed.

But I digress.....

My vote is for another Tacoma if you need/want a truck. If I had to do it over again, probably a cement colored OR AC. Pro is awesome but like you, don't really want leather. I think if you buy something else you might be disappointed after the Taco, but definitely test drive what appeals to you.

 

pt 4wd is ok, i've lived in snow for many many years before moving down to tx a few years ago.

 

yeah i want a AC also, but baby needs space so DC it is ha... i also am a motorcyclist...well, until recently when the new baby came along, forced to sell all of the bikes..

 

The truck I’d be eyeballin is that new 2019 silvy... done with Tacoma after this 2017

 

I like analog.

 

Ouch ! Take your time to decide and I hope all are fine . Curious as to why you have to have a smart key . I know I always forget to have the key out when getting into the wife's car and its just the pain of being spoiled , but I do not have to have it .

 

Anything you would want to have changed with your old Tacoma? If not, I'd get the same truck. I will say you get more room with a 4Runner in the back seat. That might be good for your kid. But I have 2 and it's not a big deal. I love all the cargo room. Stinky fishing tackle, muddy boots, and wet dog go in the bed. I thought about a 4Runner for the rear room, but the bed is just too useful.

 

I love my 5th gen 4runner. But buy what you want.

 

so without a smart key, i always grab the keys to unlock the car, put them in my pocket, sit down, seatbelt on, then have to struggle to get the key out of pocket to start vehicle. i grabbed a 2006 prius many years ago as an extra vehicle and was so happy that i never needed to get keys out again i just got used to it...actually sold my tundra because of that and ended up driving the prius all the time. lol...
my wife also got used to it and made sure to have it so we got her an RX350 ..spoiled hahah

 

wish i had more room in the back, but i just pulled passenger seat out and it solved my baby seat/dog issue in one pass....wife goes in the bed. jk...shes small and fits in the back next to baby

 

Need? Or want?

Yep.

Have you looked at the Ridgeline? Pretty plush.

Relative to the accident, glad you are ok.

 

I hear ya, I do the same thing all strapped in and ready , and when I have to get to the key she just laughs and says poor baby , did we forget again ?

 

The new Ranger is supposed to have much more legroom. Exactly how much, I don't know, but when I look at the AU Ford site, it's 3" MORE than the 4Runner (!!). That's pretty significant. The F150's have gobs of rear room. If you can swing a full size, your kid and wife would be in paradise.

 

i have the 2018 f150 as a rental while my truck is down right now, it's stupid big. but yeah, definitely has the size. i think i'm going to just grab an 18 taco

 

need the smart key, want the rest. think im going to accept manual ac though based on vehicle availability right now. and i sat in the ridgeline earlier this week, haven't ridden it out

 

They're awesome for family outings, road trips, etc. Parking and every day errands, not so much. Since you need a truck right now, I'd get an '18 Taco and not worry about the upcoming Ranger. As nice as the Canyon is, I wouldn't even bother.

 

not outfitted exactly like my 16, but it is nice enough. 18 sport 4x4 with tech pkg. feel like i got a steal of a deal. thanks for the input everyone

 

Is that black exhaust tip factory ?

 

Congrats on getting it $5,000 under Msrp

 

surprisingly yes... waaaay overcharged toyota accessory hahha.
