Think Twice...Buy Once.

I'm not going to go so far as to order a new one...but I do find myself wishing I had gone ahead and sprung for the Tech package. Oh well, it's still an awesome truck.

 

Yes, yes they do.

It's the ones who are in such a rush for a purdy boy lift that they go el cheapo, because they live in a gotta-have-it-now world, then find it's actually a poor choice that I speak of.

Saw lots of the same in the SoloII world as well. Folks rushing in. Advise given on quality $1500 setups (still 1/2 of a national contender grade setup) but they insist on going with the $800 deal of no name fleabay stuff. For about 6 months, when they realize folks on OE suspension can spank them.

Expensive lessons these are.

 

Solo II world?

 

well shucks! Grumpy cat wishes you a happy birthday

It's a category of SCCA racing, with sub classes (based on vehicle parameters) within the category. Just about the cheapest way to race there is, outside of maybe a local drag strip.

 

In the last 40 years, I have probably bought one ($5) item based on a commercial or advertisement. That, and not wasting money on the lotto has saved me tons of money ... enough to pay cash for the truck I want. I'm going to buy once so I am still doing my research.

 

Just relocated to San Antonio. Noticed in this state they'll slap a TSS sticker and a "Texas Edition" star on every base Toyota truck.

 

I like that cat.... and oldshiemers tells me that my birthday is actually the day after tomorrow.

Thank you, thank you very much... I'll be here all week.... I hope.

 

It all about what makes you happy , its just money anyways.

 

Amen Brother!

 

^ lol!

Nice step up OP

 

I'm guessing they went in dry? No lube at all?

 

Oh now you did it!

 

you stole my line....lmmfao...Its only money US Treasury will print more

 

I'm on my 3rd 2015 vehicle if that makes you feel better

 

Just like a friend of mine, he gets calls from the dealer that he can drive a brand new vehicle for the same payment, he takes the bait and does the trade, I can't count how many new vehicles he has had in the 25 years I've known him. His money.

 

I did the same thing. Bought a 16' TSS only to realize after snooping around here that it's just smoke and mirrors on the TSS. I didn't realize that the OR and Sport versions come with all the extra stuff. The 2 gen's weren't like that. Had it a week then found a black Sport. Haven't looked back since. The kicker was the Tss was more expensive than the Sport. I'm glad I'm not the only one. Thanks for sharing. I was too ashamed to tell the world.

 

Update:

While I was "patiently" waiting for the end of January to come and bring with it my '16 TRDOR, the "deal" I was offered started to weigh on me. I'm totally willing to pay the Piper for my impulse, but it was a rather bad deal all things considered. I did ponder doing the CL thing and try to do a bit better. With plenty of time, I decided to just swing by the other local dealer to see what they would offer and might have on-hand or in a coming allocation (I've noticed very few '16s on their lot for the past few weeks). They had nothing I wanted - present or future. They did however offer way way way more for my trade. They wanted the truck for sure. A deal so good, I drove off in this:

2016 TEP



I will tell you that after driving the '16 Tacoma for two months, I was pretty disappointed.

 

Good looking ride. That would have been my second choice. As long as you're happy.
