The Wait Is Over

Greetings fellow Tacoma fans. My wife and I just received our Magnetic Grey 2023 Tacoma we ordered nearly four months ago. We are retiring a 1998 LX 470 as our tow vehicle and general adventure vehicle. We tow a 22 foot sailboat and a small camper. We wanted a base model and come to find out they are / were harder to get than a full blown TRD. We wanted no frills, utilitarian and basic. Turns out when you upgrade from a '98 470 - it's more tech than we've ever had! I had a single cab 1st gen and LOVED that truck. So, hopefully this one will go the distance (as if there was a question). I think the base model (for what we do) is the best value in the Toyota Fleet. I'm sure we'll have questions. Thanks!

 

Welcome to the TW

 

Congrats!!!!!

 

I don't know about you guys - but one only gets a new Tacoma every 15 years or so... is it true this is the last year for this engine?

 

Congrats! Welcome!


Seems it might be the last of the V6, but time will tell

 

Congratulations! Looks great!

 

Congratulations! Welcome to TW. You're off to a great start, choosing the best color.

 

I had a 95 single cab back in the day - wasn't crazy about the color it was blue ok but not what I would have picked. I had no choice I was poor, it was used lol and what I could afford. Decided to get the color I wanted and wait this time. It was worth it!!! They last so long - you have to live with that color a long time!

 

Yes, all indications right now are the 2024 will be a turbo-4 with perhaps some hybrid options.

 

Welcome to TW….

 

Congrats and welcome to TW!

 

Yup, you got in right on time.

 

It's a beauty!!! Good luck with it. I can't tell form your photo, is it an Access Cab or 4 door? What motor did you get?

 

Welcome to the forum.

 

It's a double cab four door V6 - SR Base model. I love it.

 

Excellent choice going with the SR!!

 

Congrats on your new truck. Did you "order" a 2023 or did you think you were getting a 2022? I'm asking because I put money down on a 2022 back in July and now beginning to wonder if I'll be getting a 2023.

 

I think all the 2022 have been shipped. You are likely getting a 23. We literally found a dealer that first, wasn't adding an extra few grand on for the "market adjustment." Then we had them look at their future allotment and found our truck and put a deposit down. I never dreamed a basic SR in this color would be so hard to find. Good luck!

 

I appreciate the response. The '23 doesn't really add anything to my truck(already has push button start) but just wondering. My dealer doesn't charge market adjustments so I'm good there.

 

Enjoy the new truck
