    ...I should have known when the lady at the bank smiled and told me these trucks were extremely popular, that I was getting into something deep!

    Hi folks! First time owning a Toyota, here's my 2019 Cement Tacoma, all shiny and used, and a picture of my pup enjoying the new ride!

    Got my first truck the 2023 offroad in lunar rock last month. Took only two weeks to get the one I wanted. Enjoying the size and comfort since I’m coming from a Subaru BRZ. Getting so much info on this forum and other sources for modding.

    Welcome and congrats. Two points i need to make, you went from apples to...a watermelon for lack of a comparison? Having owned 4 wrx models, you will miss the brz slightly, otherwise its a great daily driver. And the lR color is not showing well in light, more like cement.

    2023 TRD off-road access cab. First time new vehicle owner and first time truck owner!!! Just a little over a month and so far its been great fun. Can’t wait to put a softopper on the back and do some camping and road trips. First mod just shipped, it’s tailgate anti theft device made in the USA by a fellow Tacoma enthusiast and TW member christian06.

    6 Day old Tacoma TRD Pro in Magnetic Grey!

    Upgraded from a 2022 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon, that had every option in it.

    So far way better in terms of Handling, Headlights at night, comfort, Transmission shift points, the exhaust note...

    Need to do something about those Incandescent tail lights, blurry camera's.

    Planning on getting a Tonneau Cover, originally had the Bak X4s Hard Rolling but surprisingly the Tacoma version doest come with T Slot points, so exploring the Pace Edwards by Leer.

    Debating on the tires, love the factory set up but too small compared to the 35s I had.

    Hi Everyone,
    I'm new here as well and can't tell you how much I appreciate this website for all of the help it has given me the past 3 years. Here's my story. Back in 2017 I purchased an '06 Tundra Crew Cab used after trading in a 1980 MGB to get it. I absolutely loved that truck except it was 2wd (worthless in Denver snow storms) and way bigger than what I really needed. After selling it in 2020, I looked at Tacoma's briefly, but here in Denver, prices were out of sight. You could purchase a Frontier for way less money so was looking at those.

    One Saturday morning (Feb 2020, right before Covid hit), my son convinced me to go and "at least test drive" a Tacoma as he has an '07 4Runner that he just loves. He found one on CL for sale at a dealership that was low mileage, one owner. So I figured why not and we went to drive this one above. At the dealership, we couldn't believe how clean it was, 36k miles showing, all service work done at that dealership. The previous owner wanted a new 2020 truck so they traded this one in. The asking price was $25,100, non-negotiable. My son and I looked at each other and thought "if we don't buy this truck, the next person will." The rest is history.

    I've only put 7k miles on it in a little over 3 years as I work from home now due to Covid and what impresses me so much is that there isn't a rattle or squeak in the interior, even at 43k miles. It's just the right size for me and much easier to navigate parking spots. The turning radius is amazing. Thanks for listening! - Dave

    First off: Welcome to Tacomaworld!

    That's a nice looking truck. Looks like a twin of mine with the added bonus of the Sport trim. I bought my 2014 in June of '21 with only 104k on it and it has run flawlessly coming up now on two years of ownership. Someone took excellent care of it per the Carfax and detailed service records recorded there, as well as the dealership service records on the Toyota Owners website. I went to look at it the day it was listed and purchased it. I really lucked out with it. The salesperson showed me a list after the paperwork was signed that had names and numbers of two people tentatively coming in later to see it. I got there first, drove it for at least 45 minutes, pulled into a McDonald's and checked the fluids, shine a flashlight down the oil fill cap, (clean/no deposits/varnish) underhood area very clean but obvious it was not detailed yet (and didn't really require it); tried all the 4wd selections, and crawled under it to check the frame and under-carriage. The interior was spotless. Made a fair offer, got a very fair offer for my trade and it was mine. Someone was looking at the truck outside before they came in: likely someone on the list. I'm only averaging about 10k miles per year now, so hopefully I should have it for a long time.
