How far did you go to buy a third gen? Stay local or hop on a plane

Five hours (with traffic)one way. Sunnyvale, CA to Yuba City, CA

 

This time spent that you speak of is my favorite part of the purchase. I can obsess for days or weeks at a time over a big purchase. I love the process.

 

2 miles

 

Dealer installed hood graphic huh? Are you keeping it or taking it off?

 

As for me literally less than 5 kilometers as there is a dealership fairly close to my house.

 

OEM. Kept it and painted scoop flat black. Together it keeps the sun glare down

 

From work...like .5 miles....local dealer missed out

 

Lansing MI to Colombus OH. Saved over 2 grand on a 2019 OR DCSB after the local dealer here gave me this long song and dance about they are a high volume dealership so there’s no reason for me to hunt around because their prices are rock bottom...... they wouldn’t even come close to matching the out of state price.

 

Drove about an hour from outside Providence, RI to outside Boston, MA. They were the only dealership that guaranteed me a 2016 TRD Sport in a MT in the color I wanted. Only issue was that the dealer had to drive it down to my DMV because MA doesn't do temporary tags.

 

I didn't travel to buy mine but my dealership here in Concord NC told me that they get people from New England driving down here to buy Tacoma's in 4x4 a lot....my salesman had just sold one to a guy from Vermont

 

Drove 10 miles for my TRD PRO in manual.

 

It’s always a pleasure to help someone from that “state” up North.

 

Bought my ‘16 DCLB OR 2 years ago and drove it 1797 miles home from Des Moines, IA to Portland, OR. Fun trip, visited many cities i havent been able to see. It was used sitting at 4900 miles and got it for 32800 out the door. Compared to Gresham Toyota trying to force me into paying 38900 for new. Totally worth it.

 

I drove 324 miles from North of Salt Lake City to St. George Utah - about 4.5 hours to Get my 2018 Super white Manual Transmission TRD Pro and would do it again.

 

Dorschel now that is a name I have not heard in some time, I use to Work at Hoselton Toyota long time ago.

 

About 2-2.5 hours from southern, IN to Dayton, OH.

2017 TRD OR DCSB w/ 18k miles at $30,450 vehicle price. It was worth the drive. Bought it from a Chevy dealership. Previous owner took great care of it, just wanted a new Silverado.

 

My local dealer sells a lot of Tacoma’s so they had what I wanted already in the queue, I just had to wait for it from San Antonio.

 

A lot of Toyota dealers in the Indy area, but I drove 3.5 hrs away for the deal I ended up getting on mine.

 

I drove about ten minutes from my house just to see what they had not even intending to buy anything an hour or two later I was driving off the lot with this:

 

I seriously was not aware that people were having to travel so far to either get a good deal or find what they wanted. I've done this for some of the more rare vehicles I've owned over the years, but wouldn't have thought about it for the Tacoma. I am fortunate that there are 3 Toyota dealerships within 20 miles of my house. I've been a longtime customer at one dealership, and have a very good relationship with the GM there (I've done some personal work for him outside of the car world) so I only had to go about 3 miles down the road to get what I was looking for.

I realize not everyone lives in a place where there are several dealerships nearby, but the concept of flying cross country for a Tacoma never even entered my radar.
