Tacoma wanna be, north of the border....

.... Hi folks! I am shiftless because I do not yet have my ride.

After raising a family and seeing them graduate and move out, it's time for me to buy a toy just for me, stickshift, no automatic, 4X4, small engine, nice cab, some creature comforts, that's the ticket. My turn to be selfish a bit.

Problem is, they don't sell the 4 banger in a 4X4 way up north so I will have to look in the states. Would be nice to pick up a shiney new one but the dealers seem to be only willing to deal with a U.S. resident. Seems odd. The Tacoma is made in the U.S., the ones they sell up here are made in the U.S. Can't buy a new one in the U.S. Frustrating. Anyway, I have time to work or wait that out.

I have been watching Tacomaworld for a while, especially liked the thread that shows how to install daytime running lights (buying a U.S. truck without them would be a show stopper at the border). Looking forward to being in a truck rather than on the sidelines.

Signed,

Frustrated and frozen

 

Welcome aboard!

You'd have to wait to get it but couldn't you custom order the truck?

 

Have you tried to order one? Since this is your time to get your toy, order it exactly the way you want it. ... and welcome to Tacoma World!

 

Welcome .

 

TNTaco is right, get it the way you want it, you won't regret it.

 

Trucks up here are anything between $4k and $8k more than in the USA, for the exact same truck. That is why so many cross the border to buy a truck. I would order one except that you can't get a dealer to sell to you (pretty odd feeling, a car dealer telling you he can't sell you a truck). I'm going to keep looking around for a while before I would ever consider buying one up here.

These are strange times.

 

Yes I agree, and I have heard about that in Canada, madness ! Keep looking, that is a sweet truck you want.
