Bought a new Toyota Tacoma
« on: April 11, 2017, 04:32:17 PM »
Well I went ahead and bought a truck about a week and a half ago.  2017 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab.  Shopped and shopped.  Nobody really interested in coming down much in price.  I ended up buying a SR Double cab in white. Missed out on a few options but got what I need.   The truck came with full towing package,  power windows, door locks, remote entry,  power mirrors, cruise, tilt telescopic wheel, AM FM CD MP3 Blue tooth, backup camera, sliding rear window.   Didn't get alloy wheels, chrome package, navigation, fog lamps, power dimming mirror.  Don't care much for the factory alloys anyway so I'll find the ones I like and buy them.   The money I saved paid for a new matching canopy, new Goodyear Dura Trax traction tires, weather Tech floor mats and a level lift.  (lift isn't in yet).  And a heavy duty bed mat. And I'm still money ahead. The one thing I really liked about this truck is it didn't have the plastic fender flares.  I hate those things.  Here's a picture......

I'm not one for all the bells and whistles, just more money and more things that can break.  You will love the truck...they are awesome machines.  Congrats.  :tup: :tup:

I do love it already.  I've owned a couple with the 4.0 liter v6 and this 3.5 v6 is definitely different but I think it will work out just fine.

Money ahead vs What?

Vehicles are very difficult to be money ahead on. :bash:

Money ahead of buying one with the options I didn't need.  I saved over 4000.00 buying this than the best deal I could find on an SR5 with the unwanted options.  Comes a time when it's nice to buy new.  Probably be the last truck I buy.  Decided to go new.   Hopefully no headaches or problems.

There will be blood on and in this.  Lots of it.

Way to go Brant. Good call on the Toyota. Man I don't know about using that truck out at a certain boat launch you like to use every summer  :chuckle:

Too bad it's a Toyota.

If it was a Dodge you could buy a new one every 100,000 miles.

Now you're stuck with a rig that won't quit........

Sean,  I've got my old Dodge to launch the boat at Freshwater Bay.   Plus I kept my 4Runner too.  it's just to nice to get rid of yet.  This truck isn't going anywhere near saltwater.

This is exactly why I have 2 Toyotas (01 Camry and '12 Corolla) and when/if I get a truck it will also be Toyota.  :sry: to all the ford/dodge/gmc people but Toyota is where it's at for vehicles that last forever  :).

To the OP, congrats on the new truck, nice looking setup especially with the matching canopy.  I have a similar setup on my 13 Taco.

I've got a 2013 Taco that I've been thinking about selling and getting a new Raptor but all this talk about Toyota's lasting forever is making me rethink it.  Hmmm.

It's crazy how high the resale is on these used.  One of the reasons I went new.  Wasn't much difference  + the interest on new for 4 years was only 1.99 %.

FWIW my father in law has a 2016 f-150 lariat and loves it and still has an early 2000s f-150 he's driving to the ground, hasn't had many problems to my knowledge.

But IMHO that's the exception, not the rule for American made trucks. But hey I could be wrong that's just from what I've seen/heard

That's part of it too!! Because everywhere selling used toyotas realize that a couple years old Toyota will last as long/longer than most other new trucks they can continue to sell them quite high in comparison to other trucks that lose value and fast

Thought you were mocking Toyota then looked it up. Camry and Sienna were 2 of the "most American cars" lost last year and ford wasn't on it at all  :yike:

I have 373,000 miles on my 99 4runner 3.4L. It's still running strong and I don't see any quit in its future. It still has its original fuel pump and starter but I did finally have to do the alternator last year. I drive 40k miles a year and I'm going to drive it til it dies. Then I'm going to give it a refresh and do it all over again.

I've got about the same miles on my 2003. 384K. V6. Would you rebuild or get a remanufactured?  I'm starting to think how I might go about this. But for now I wouldn't hesitate to drive it across U.S.

I think it looks great in steel wheels. Looks like a pick up instead of a mini wan with a lift. 😊. You'd be far happier with a aftermarket big screen stereo with all the bells and whistles anyways. The stock nav/stereo is ok. Better aftermarket stuff. Same with rear lockers if you go that route.

Beautiful truck. I had been shopping for a used one and couldn't find anything within my range. We now have a new hot tub. The mileage is great but there's no tow package or FWD.

I do love it already.  I've owned a couple with the 4.0 liter v6 and this 3.5 v6 is definitely different but I think it will work out just fine.

All of the reviews I have read everyone hates the 3.5 with the automatic.  I'll be interested in how you like it.

I stepped out of a '15 TRD Sport into a '17 TRD Sport on Saturday.   I was a little concerned after reading about the sluggish lower end of the 3.5.    I was pleasantly surprised that although different "feeling" than the 4.0, the 3.5 drives very well and gets up to speed quickly.   My pickup also came with a button that changes the shift points in the automatic transmission and makes the throttle very responsive.   I may not be explaining that exactly right, but with that button on, I can tell you that there is a dramatic difference in your get-up-and-go.

I too am curious to your review now that you have got some miles under your belt. I picked up an 18' in early Sept. The jury is still out on the 6 speed automatic. It likes to shift a lot... Other than that, I am looking forward to many trouble free miles.

It's crazy how high the resale is on these used.  One of the reasons I went new.  Wasn't much difference  + the interest on new for 4 years was only 1.99 %.

I went looking for a used Tacoma and found that out. I ended up buying a Tundra for less money...just not at the pump! Very nice rig. Congratulations.

I went from a 2014 Silverado LTZ to an 18 Tacoma trd offroad(yes i like the extra features) and couldn't be happier.   Only had the Silverado for 9 months before it was costing too much in repairs.

Sorry.  Just saw this.   been hunting.   Well I've had the truck about 18 months now.   But I only have about 12,000 miles on it.   No problems.   Seems on par with the other Toyota's I've owned.  This 3.5 V6 is quite a bit different than the 4.0 V6.  I currently own a 4Runner with the 4.0 V6 and have had another Tacoma with the 4.0 V6.  This 3.5 motor doesn't have the low end torgue or power that the 4.0 had.  Once you get the rpms up it goes good.  My only complaint with the truck is this new 6 speed automatic seems to want to shift a lot.  I have a couple of sons that live down in the Vancouver area so take this down once in a while.  It cruises the freeway great.  I usually set the cruise at 75 and it has plenty of power.  Seats are comfortable.  Fuel mileage isn't the best. I've never checked it but would guess around town maybe 15 and on the hiway 20.  I have a 16 ft Hewescraft  that I tow with this.  It probably weighs a little over 2000 pounds and you don't even hardly know it's back there.  I'm pretty satisfied with it and wouldn't hesitate to buy another one.
