My first new vehicle (Longest INTRO thread)

I, as you, just joined. 73 yrs old (a Dinasour but still adjusting to the new technology) been repairing my used vehicles

 

Been buying used and new vehicles for 57 years, since age 16.
Always took the backyard shop to service and repair. No more.
Last one was 2007 GMC Sierra Classic, bought at 98,000 mils in 2012. Dam good vehicle engine and tranny. Spent avg of $500 a mo to keep running for the last 11 yrs on
Steering, brakes, cooling system, alternator, throttlebody fuel system.
No more.
Just bought Tacoma with 20,000 mi, 36 + Mo's old. No more repair bills for me. Just service at my trusty technician. Excellent vehicle and service for first 30 days. Don't plan to buy another in this life.

 

Thanks!

 

Hello All, just joined, first toyota and first truck. 2023 Toyota tacoma SR5 v6 5foot bed in ice cap white. Haven't bought a car in 15 years. Just learned we can remote start through the phone now...however was not available with the SR5 upon initial phurchase...subscriptions and such wont need that.

 

Congrats, Welcome.

 

Made it into my 50's without ever buying a new vehicle (unless dirt bikes count), picked up this new '23 TRD OR ACLB last month. Just passed 1000 miles, so far so good! Got it with the factory lift, then added the TRD 17" wheels and Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT's in 265/70-17.

 

Awesome Truck! Welcome.

 

Congrats

 

I waited 15 years for another vehicle

 

welcome yall!

 

Greetings All,
I just purchased a 2023 TACOMA TRD PRO in SOLAR OCTANE. It took me a few weeks to get what I wanted, but the Universe has provided EXACTLY what I wanted. I am in San Antonio, so I look forward to hearing from any of you in my area. Happy New Year! - Eric

 

Very nice truck and Awesome Color! Congrats. That be my truck if I could afford it. Was it sitting on a lot? Was it slightly used?

 

Welcome to TW.

 

It was used, but only 2200 miles. Whoever bought it new only had it for a month.

The universe has provided....

 

Hey all, I’m Chris. Esmeralda’s not new but I’m new here. Bought her from my dad in 2020 with 165,000ish miles and now she’s at 285,000. I am going to be doing an engine swap soon which is why I got on here, to learn as much as I can. Glad to be apart of the group!

 

Welcome, nice truck and location!

 

Howdy ya'll. I'm a new to me Tacoma owner and glad to have a another truck. Been driving a 2004 Sienna for the last 12 years and since I retired, I really need a truck. It's a '13 Pre Runner V6 w/ 49k miles. It wasn' t cheap but it just might be my last vehicle.

 

Welcome to TW.

 

Welcome! Nice truck with low miles.

 

My third Toyota Truck but the newest and most expensive by far. A week or so ago bought this 2023 TRD Sport, Crew Cab, 6’ bed with just under 9000 miles. Had been looking for one of the last of the 2023 SR5’s before they were all gone. None left in East TN but some in Western NC. Before I made the trip 2 hours over there I found this one in town for about the same price with a lot more features. Hope to find a small camper for me and the wife to enjoy as we approach retirement in the next two years. Would appreciate tips on favorites and maximum weight recommended to tow?
