Army Green thread: let’s keep it green!

No, it's definitely squatting. That soft rear suspension.

 

around 400 lbs. more when 4 gas tanks are full. The leitner bed rack is forged aluminum can comes in at less than 100lbs before pods and gas tanks. But the decked is a bit of a pig at 200lbs empty.

 

Here's my contribution. She's already at 6000 miles (11/27/19).

Once I consider on a new floor jack I will be upgrading the stock tires to KO2's

Looking forward to that 10K mark. Will be shopping for some OEM Oil & Filter soon.

Goofy question to you new owners, what are the dealership telling you about the Army Green now? I just remembered when I bought mine the dealership "considered" my to be #4 MT nationwide LMAO I just thought that was funny. Oh crazy how 5-6 months has changed then

 

No idea. I remember being told that I had one of the first in the country as mine arrived in late October.

 

I was only one of two sold at the dealer and the last one in the state of GA (May 4th).

 

I got the only allocation my dealership got - Jan build, Feb delivery. Not many left on lots at this point.

 

I mentioned I was on TW and he said I would be 'king of the forum' with this truck
Clearly he has never seen this place.




Helped a friend with moving to a new house

 

Nice car! How fast is that bad boy? I bet it just hugs the road/track I’m a lil jealous
I think I need one

I had to call every dealership in the state to get one before February/March! Found one that hadn’t been spoken for a couple hours from my house so I snatched it up! Got mine 10/28/19 and have 6500 miles. It seemed to be running a lil harsh so I changed oil at 6000. Glad I did cuz it was nasty, filter too. Got Mobil 1 synthetic and upgraded filter a bit with the Napa platinum. I do drive over a small mountain pass and halfway up another big mountain pass to work everyday, and it idles all the time in the winter (to warm up) so I guess I fall into the “extreme driving conditions” I’ll change every 5000 from now on
And on tires, I have a friend w/ a 2018 pro and he has 265/75/16 KO2’s, I just got 255/85/17 (33’s) Cooper ST MAXX’s and they make the truck look much more sexy, in both our opinions, and you get another couple inches of clearance too! KO2’s are lil wider ( overall) but we measured actual tread width and it’s exactly the same. His sidewall just bulges out a lil more. I’ve driven both trucks on and off road, his seem to behave a bit better on the highway, but I didn’t scrape my hitch in a couple spots where he did while wheeling. Check em out

 

Lately it's been a little windy here in my state and I did notice my Trucks been running harsh. I may just change the oil and filter now after hearing your story

 

Is he living in your Tepui?

 

Any particular reason you're not using the Toyota Care free oil changes? Just out of curiosity.

 

He wishes.

 

I don't. Namely because I live almost 45 minutes from my nearest dealer. I also just don't trust dealerships.

 

Two consecutive visits to do an oil change at two different dealerships on my old 01 taco they F’d up and one didn’t tighten the drain plug all the way that left a huge oil spot in my driveway (still there) and the other they didn’t tighten the oil filter and it leaked all over too. That was 15+ years ago and I swore off other people working on my truck unless it’s something major. I can do fluids. Plus I’ve heard lots of other horror stories on this forum of similar shit happening Dealer is 2+ hours from me. I may take it to get changed at 10000 but I will check their work before I pull out of the parking lot they will only give ya 2 changes to 20000 anyways.

 

Fair enough. Mine is 25k/2 years with 5k intervals, so 5 changes. I guess I've been lucky with my dealers. I have 4 within half an hour.

 

Free oil changes.. it may be free but the person who is doing it will likely hate doing them + the oil they use isn't new quality.

 

I have one 25 minutes away - didn't buy there. Will probably drive back to where I bought it - 90 miles. I used to drive my '96 Z3 4 hours each way to get to a dealership I trusted - still drive 1.5 hours to have it serviced there now that we moved closer.

 

I picked up my AG PRO on 3/4/2020 after placing order in Dec at local dealership in near Kennet Square,Pa. I've seen probably a 5-10 Tacoma TRD Pro's of any color in past few years. Have yet to see another AG on the road and I drive a lot. My guess, there may be only 500-1000 AG Tacoma's built for 2020 due to pandemic.

 

Periodically I do a search on cars.com to see what the available AG Tacoma count is. I realize that cars.com isn’t 100% accurate since not all dealers use it, but I find it a decent gage of the supply. Currently it is showing 4 available nationwide. When I got mine in Feb, there were 20 on cars.com (although several of them were spoken for and not actually available). The most I’ve seen is 45 or so.

 

I checked AutoTrader yesterday and only saw three AG Tacos in the U.S.
