Has anyone downgraded their Tacoma?

Just curious why ?

 

$33,000 SR

Im seriously thinking of going V6 DC SR 4x4 for the next one. I think the Msrp is 32k and overall that is a pretty legit value for what your getting. Also might buy mine out for 18k


This one just needs the Satin Alloy's and tint (and KO2's)

 

What I don't get is

TRD SPORT
v6 4x4 is $34,665

However, the SR with V6 and 4x4 I posted above, is $32k. At 2K difference, does it make sense to get a SR?


The SR 4 door, 4 cyl, 4x2, is $25,000. So it costs $7,000 more to get a 4x4 and a 6 cyl? At that price point, wouldn't it make sense to jump in OR/Sport?

 

Pretty sure TRD Sport 4x4 is 36k+ depending on what they are loaded with (some are 39k) My truck was 25k and a 4c access cab. The SR5 4c DC is 28k

 

I just build one on Toyota

4x4
v6
34,665

 

Figured out why. I picked 6MT, which lowers the price of the TRD sport.

 

DC 4c SR is 26,500. Dont think build includes destination fees and such.

 

Garth Brooks, Reba, Vince Gill, Toby Keith, Carrie Underwood, Patti Page......... come on man. That's highfalutin stuff. And a boat load of cash.

 

True dat.

If nothing else most folks downgrade their wallet size for a pile of gee-wizardry.

Will be interesting to see how all the tech fares over a 20 year span.

 

I'll trade you straight across. My wheels for your wheels.

 

Meh... all this "tech" has been around - and proven - for decades, just not in Tacomas. Nothing new, nothing revolutionary. Being "simple and utilitarian" is part of what appealed to me in my TRD Sport w/ tech.

I can potentially see the BSM sensors acting up in the long run, but other than that, it's as simple as it gets IMO.

 

I listen to AM radio

 

Will your sharp shooting wife be thrown in on the deal ?

 

As a matter of fact yes...

 

You have the same truck I already had

My PRO will likely get traded in a tundra or raptor once I bore of it

I can't live without v8

 

Went from 07 TRD OR Access Cab to 11 TRD Sport Double Cab. Then back to 16 TRD Sport Access Cab. No regrets.

 

I like the 3Rd Gen. Going with an SR MT would be low cost to get one.

 

I wouldn't say I downgraded, but I traded my "fun car" (which was a 3rd vehicle) for a 4Runner SR5 not nearly as loaded as my Tacoma because I needed a 3rd row.

No dual climates, heated seats, moonroof, all the extra entune apps, obviously all the OR items, and the rear alarm stuff...and don't miss any of it at all in the 4Runner. My 2013 Taco was an SR5 MT without all the goodies either.

But hey, my orange Tacoma has color matched bumpers, which are awesome.

 

I went from the 4 banger to the v6, always enjoyed the 4, but regretted not getting a 6 back when I got it.

I think you will miss the power.
