We finally made our purchase, it even has Crawl Control.

Good evening. I have been lurking on this great board for quite awhile. I absolutely love the new Tacoma and planned to buy one this year. I was planning on buying my wife her vehicle next year. After reading all the problems the 2016 are having, we decided to swap it around. We ended up going with a Lexus LX570 for her. I still hope and plan to buy a new Tacoma this time next year. I really want the Inferno Double-cab Long bed Off Road with Tech-JBL bad. Given the problems so far, I just cannot see paying $40K and having to glue my hood, or worry about the transmission fluid filled properly, or worry about the transmission shifting correctly, etc.. Seems it is kind of a crapshoot if you get a good one or not.
I sincerely hope the quality going into the truck increases. Anyways, I genuinely appreciate the honesty of forums. You get real life info on how well a product is doing in most cases. I thank you all for posting your positive or negative experiences. I will Here is what we purchased, it even has Crawl Control!..lol. Have a great weekend!.....Steve

 

That is one hell of a nice vehicle. Tell your wife congrats from me. Hope she enjoys it!

 

Nice ride.. you know who makes the engine and tranny right?? Good luck with it and congrats.

Your sig says you are male... I'm not seeing it??

 

Yes, that is my wife in the pictures. We are very happy with the purchase. We had to drive 3 hours to Palm Beach to pick it up. We rented a car, but got upgraded to a new loaded Sienna mini-van. It drove wonderfully. Perfect shifting and strong with that 3.5L. I have high hopes Toyota will iron things out. Thank you for the kind responses.

 

Jesus f'ing christ is that that $90k+ V8 lexus that is meant to be extremely luxurious and conquer offroad trails as well? Basically a more luxury land cruiser?

I seriously hope I am in the position one day to buy one of those for my wife and still afford other vehicles for myself.

Congrats man, I'd never be able to offroad a 90k+ vehicle but congrats on the new vehicle and the hard work you've both done to get yourselves to be able to do that!

 

Nice Congrats!

 

Nice new ride and all, but what does this have to do with a 3rd Gen. No disrespect but.

 

Easy man, you can give him a blow job after his wife does

It's a nice vehicle. We get it

 

And here comes everyone to get all offended and shit all over the thread...


And I am out...unwatch

 

Sweet ride

 

He's just saying he decided to wait on the 3rd gen. Instead of buying now, they decided to upgrade his wife's ride

 

I'm very satisfied with my Tacoma, it's capabilities and quality. That said, my 200 series land crusier is in a different class entirely.

 

And post the Lexus on a Tacoma forum ? Really ?

Seriously guys....When is someone going to start calling BS on all of the trolling that goes on in this section every day.

 

.
OP ... I have had maybe 10-12 Toyota trucks and my Gen 3 has less issues than most of my past Toyota trucks.

I would not wait to get a Gen 3 ... IMO, Toyota will not make any big changes for 2 to 3 years and present models will get TSB's.

Your new Lexus looks great.

Well I guess it's up for the mods to decide. I'm just saying I see where it's coming from. I don't think he's intentionally trolling

 

I understand what you are saying but you look at all of the BS that is posted in this section daily from clowns with no life that come here with no intention to add anything of use to this forum.

I see it, you see it, Mods see it, everyone sees it.

 

Seriously?? That Troll card comes out way to often.

 

Nice LX! Enjoy it.

 

Yes seriously, are you blind ? Do you not see the pic of the Lexus ???

Troll card........... LMAO.
