What do you think of the 2015 Tacoma Prerunner Limited Package?

I'm thinking of buying one for 31k. What are your thoughts on this vehicle vs a 2012 TRD Sport package 4x4. What's your preference

 

All preference but I MUCH prefer the look of the sport. The limited will give you fake leather seats, fake chrome wheels and chrome bumpers as opposed to the far more sexy color matched ones on the sport

 

You live in San Diego, so weather isn't an issue for 4x4. Limited comes with a lot of chrome which people don't like as much, but you can plastidip it easy enough. I like 4x4 for playing, but if you just want a nicely equipped pickup you're probably fine with that.

 

limited is just a base model with leather seats... afaik.....

if 4x4 DCSB / Access cab is what you want go with the TRD OR, for the rear locker n atrac

if 4x4 and DCLB is what you want go with the sport.

 

Skip the limited unless your a fan of chrome.

 

This is the 2012 I'm referring to. I'm very new to this and I'm actually not Mike, I'm his wife I'm trying to surprise him with a truck. And I'm comparing the 2015 limited to this truck that I'm about to post for you that I found on classifieds. What are your thoughts which one should I get? The 2012 has 35,000 miles on it. Here is the description:

Mike likes leather and chrome but I still want the better truck for him.

 

FWIW, the heated "fake" leather seats on my 2013 Limited were awesome. The chrome clad 18's held up very well over two nasty Northeast winters, and the JBL sound system alone was worth the price of admission. Best stock stereo I have ever had in a vehicle. It was a great truck...

 

Get a TRD sport long bed with 4x4 and the JBL sound system. Then you can get custom leather seats put in. That would be much better.

 

How much cheaper is the '12? if the prices are about the same, and considering u live in San Diego(and he likes leather & chrome), I think u should definitely go with the "brand new" '15 Limited...

 

...and let him "customize" it the way he wants.

 

Value is only based on your satisfaction really. Don't worry about others opinions. I have a limited and I love it. For me, it was exactly what I wanted. I knew every detail about it before buying it and for how I intended to use the vehicle it is perfect. I specifically didn't want to modify it to achieve the features it has. I just wanted a stock truck with some pleasant features and legendary tacoma ability and reliability. I enjoy driving it every day. The seats are great and the stereo is a very solid stock system. I have modded so many cars and trucks prior to this one. I am just wanted a comfortable clean truck with no questions about warranty or dealing with the often questionable longevity of aftermarket parts.

My only complaint, if even that, is that the wheels are a plastic cover bonded to the alloy. I knew this, but I would have preferred a polished aluminum wheel like the 4 runner or the sport. The wheels will likely get swapped for oem 4Runner wheels once the tires are shot.

I had a 11 trd sport in the past. It was great but I like my limited much better. It makes me happy and that's all I set out to achieve.

 

$31k for a Prerunner?

 

Its the top trim level commanding 31k, not everybody wants or needs 4x4 and want a nice highway cruiser.

 

Is anyone else thinking the surprise will be ruined when Mike logs on and checks for any new updates in the threads he's posted in?

 

31k and no 4x4 is salty to me. but hey, if it's what you want, go for it!

 

Why do you think that there hasn't been any updates... Uh oh, she must have not gotten the 4 x 4...
