    This past Wednesday I purchased my dream car. I have been looking at Tacomas across the northeast for the past 5 months, and this past week I pulled the trigger.

    New 2020 Tacoma SR5 V6 4X4 Double Cab Long Bed, Red/Black Interior

    I'm 22 and graduating college as a software engineer, coming from my mom's 2012 RAV4. Registration will be complete this Monday, time has never moved so slow. AMA

    I am looking for Tonneau Cover recommendations, I'm not a big fan of tri-folds. Looking for something that has moderate theft deterring powers and locks with the tailgate.

    Thank you everyone, I am happy to be here. I was obsessed with the 2nd gens for the longest time. The rust on the 2015s in the northeast on the lower mileage ones just made me so sad. I had been eyeing this bad boy for a while, and then when the pandemic hit the choice was obvious (the deals). Any advice on preventing rust in the rust belt?

    As for interior pics, it will need to wait until Monday. I drove 7 hours from Rochester NY straight to the dealer to get this and got there near closing. So I didn't take many pictures sadly :/

    Great truck. Got my first new car (Acura RSX) when I got my first "real job" at 33. Still have it. First is the best. Are those new standard rims on the SR5?

    Congrats on graduating and your new pickup!
    Do a search for “fluid film” for rust prevention.

    I believe there are 3 different kinds of rims, depending on the combination of bed length, cab size, and 2WD or 4WD. I don't however know what combination gets what wheels or how accurate this is. But I am pretty confident that the SR5 has 3 stock rim types.
