New Owner; Crazy Story

Hey Folks, first time poster, long time tacoma lover. Crazy story on buying my first Tacoma.

As of May of this year, I was able to finally take the keys for my dream Tacoma. 2023 Lunar Rock TRD OR long bed.

After getting jerked around by a dealership where I live in Wisconsin for over a year, saying they had ordered one for me, but never had any updates. I finally opened the search area to the rest of the country, low and behold I found her, the dream truck, down in Greeley, CO. Went down on May 18 to pick her up, by 10 am I had flown in and taken the keys. All that lay ahead was a 14 hour drive home....

Which was cut short by a deer running across I-80 in the middle of Iowa.



2 excruciatingly long months of repairs and mishaps with the tow driver, bodyshop, and dealership, delaying said repairs, I finally have had my truck home for a week.

 

Welcome to TW, that is crazy, glad you’re ok and the truck was fixed.

You really earned that truck!

 

Wow, Welcome to the TW

 

Beautiful truck!

Toyota sure can make getting the truck you a pain in the ass.

 

Welcome glad to hear both you and your truck are in one piece

 

Did the deer survive?

 

The only thing that would make this worse would be if the Wisconsin dealer called the next day and said your new truck was in.

 

His spirit lives on in venison jerky.

 

Welcome to TW!

 

Unfortunately, the deer was pretty mangled upon impact, no venison either LOL

 

Rip

 

Welcome! glad your OK and the truck was finally repaired. Deer are always a major concern getting to and around our cabin that's 5 hours away from a major city.

 

Yikes! May your trails be smoother for the rest of the journey amigo.
