New Tacoma but not a new Tacoma owner

What's up everyone. I'm brand new to the site and bought my first brand new 2018 Tacoma. I heard the color quicksand was called "Iraqi Khaki or Taliban Tan" but I thought Marine Corps Khaki sounded better. Go Merica!!!!!! I did trade in my used Tacoma and owned that one for over 8 years. However I bought it when it was 3 years old so this one is my first true brand new one. Hopefully I'll get some sound advice on mods and hopefully I can reciprocate it back to others.... Semper FI to all.

 

Welcome to TW and thank you for your service! I served the Army for 8 glorious years, 3rd ID 190th out of Fort Benning, multiple tours in Iraq and Afghanistan with bullet wounds to prove it! Lol

Enjoy the new truck like I do! Semper FI!

 

First, thank you for your service!!! Secondly, welcome to TW, this site has an abundance of information and of course snarky entertainment. Overall, enjoy your new truck.

Welcome Semper Fi I too just purchased 18 Quicksand TRD Sport

 

Thanks 4 ur service man, I do too own a beautiful 2018 Iraqi khaki Sport Tacoma and LOVE IT!!!

 

Welcome......thanks for your service....nice to have another Marine on board here.....enjoy spending money for your new baby....hehehehe......you get lots of ideas from this sight as well as useful advice when you have questions or issues....again, welcome aboard

 

i am thinking about a new truck.....have 2016 TRD Sport, nav, premium and tech.....what a good price you think i might get on trade or price for private sale......not one scratch and MX4 tonneau cover, tinted glass, side steps with 25k...like new

 

The deals are pretty good right now for end of year purchase since the 19's are coming. I have found Tacoma's are pretty difficult to negotiate because of the demand. However if you're not too specific on color it will help. I was very specific on everything so I couldn't just purchase one that was sitting on the lot for several months. No matter what KBB says on your trade in value I would push it up more. As I told the dealer, Tacomas don't apply to KBB. The demand is there. I then relate how the pre-Tacoma late 80's and early 90's 22RE engine trucks book at like 800-1000 yet demand will show for sale at about 2k or more depending on condition. In the end make them show you the invoice and compare what they give you with what can be looked up on Edmunds. Remember though Toyota employees and the business still make money on moving a car through the corporation. So the ball is ultimately in your court.

 

thanks

 

Yeah Roger that

 

Thank you for your service and enjoy the new truck!
