The regular hoods look so good. Awesome truck! The tech package adds a color-matched rear bumper, which is nice. Also keep your tailgate locked, bastards are stealing those like crazy now.

That's a great point about the tailgate! It's something I never really considered until I owned a truck. Especially if this thing is sitting around a busy city in my day to day life, it may as well be locked as I'm not using it super often. Thanks for watching :)

I literally did the same exact thing just about a week ago been wanting a new Tacoma for a while didn’t want to be the guinea pig with the turbo four-cylinder so I bought a brand new 2023 Trd off-road. The only thing that I didn’t really get that I wanted was a manual transmission. and anybody that has a new Tacoma or a Toyota in general, there’s a guy on KZread called the car care nut. He has a lot of really good informational videos about Tacoma‘s maintenance and Toyotas maintenance.

The bed mat is possibly the best purchase for the Tacoma.

Really loving it so far. Already had a big camping trip, and the mat makes transporting gear so much more pleasant. No sliding around and clunking in the bed while you drive.

Got the same truck in February 23 and already got 25k on it! Still love it

That's a nice color. Really smart move with the coating. I just spent a bunch of time and money washing and waxing. At least it was a bit of fun!

I’ve had my Trd off-road for two months already 2500 miles on it. Off-roading capability is possible stocked because I’ve done it multiple times already. I’m loving my truck first truck ever I have nothing but good things to say about it except for the gear hunting, he loves to do that But taking it in to get it In to get Tuned will fix the problem. I just got to find the right tuner. Welcome to the taco family bro. Congratulations on your new truck. It’s beautiful. And I’ve done a lot of research on the pro. You’re better off getting what you have and then adding all the mods later because you’ll save yourself some money Being financed and all

Pretty much agree with everything you said. I know what people mean about the transmission. It's not a HUGE deal to me, but I understand why it bothers people. I've heard nothing but good things from people that get a tune, and that's definitely on my list of possible upgrades in the future!

Nice truck, my son got the same one this year in May. You'd be surprised how many variations of trim levels you can get on all these Toyotas Tacomas. He's already modified his by putting Rock sliders and ditch lights put black covers on the back bumpers, bed cover mud flaps and he got the front windows tinted I think you should get that if anything first. We got ours within a week of ordering it do the fact that we ordered it for my credit union it was such a breeze, it was so nice only because I bought my Toyota Tacoma the year before same process and three years prior to that with my other son. That is the only way to go I don't have to deal with anything trade-ins and they do it all, if you have to buy a vehicle that takes longer than an hour and a half it's not worth it from the dealer 😂!

I got the magnetic gray. But your lunar rock looks amazing on the truck. And like you, I had to shop around. Some dealers were adding 10K markups. Finally found one with $1K markup and $1,500 dealer installed options and $2800 distributer installed options. Out the door pice was $61,500 (Austin TX). By the way, you don’t need the tonneau cover to prevent bed mat theft. I have the bed extender. It presses down on the mat making impossible to remove - of course the tailgate has to be locked. Thanks for sharing your Tacoma with us.

@TyDollar

I'm not surprised by your buying experience. That's a cool idea about the bed extender! To be honest I'm kind of losing the patience to keep the mat out of the truck until I get something for the bed. The mat is just too nice, and life is too short. I might just throw it in there and get over it.

Looks amazing!

That sounds about right. If I throw caution to the wind on the highway I can safely say I'll get 17-19 MPGs. If I pay attention and drive conservatively I can pretty easily get the 22 advertised. Although I've actually had circumstances where I've pushed it beyond that... new video coming soon

I feel exactly the same way! If for some reason the 2024 is THAT much better I guess you could always trade in for it. But function aside I still like the way the 3rd gen looks compared to the 4th gen.

That's too bad! Personally a full-size pickup is just too big for me to be comfortable on a daily basis. A big factor in buying the Taco was really considering the size. Then of course there's that Toyota reliability!

Not sure I understand. The gray looks fantastic in the sun. It's very different than most other grays you see driving around. It really shines during golden hour though. There is a subtle green hue in the paint that only pops during sunrise/sunset. Looks incredible. At night I guess it just looks gray.

How are you liking it? I want that same color. Was looking at the Pro, but don’t like the color options. Now thinking this is the way to go. But if you add the tech and premium package you end up paying almost as much as the Pro without all the Pro extras. How much did you pay out the door?

@TyDollar

11 ай бұрын

I am REALLY liking it. My initial search was for the PRO, but no dealer on the planet wants to sell them for MSRP. Very happy with the OR trim though. My MSRP with premium and tech packages was ~$47k. Out the door was ~$50k. Despite buying the truck in LA, I payed 7% sales tax due to San Diego registration. Compared to 10.5% tax in LA it saved me a couple grand.

Just got the same exact bitch except for leather and sunroof which I did not want! LOVE it. Hey does your driver window whistle at 60-65 mph? Also, how do you like your backup camera? Pretty garbage quality. LOL

@TyDollar

11 ай бұрын

Sounds like you got a great truck!! I haven't noticed any whistling. The back-up camera gets the job done for me. My last car was a 2016 so maybe I'm just accustomed to older tech. If anything I'm a little disappointed in the side-view mirror cameras. The 360 view that's generated looks good, but when you're looking straight through the mirror cams at the front wheels it's really hard to tell what you're looking at.

@blaneahm9891

11 ай бұрын

100% agree. The 360 is good, everything else is pretty bad including the backup cam. BTW, I had to brighten it and play with the contrast to make it useable LOL. My truck has some sort of alignment or tire balance issue, brand new truck with only 3 miles on the odometer, and of course the whistling on the driver window, some seal issue. I will need to bring it up to a dealer..@@TyDollar

That's strange because cement is a darker shade of grey than lunar. Even if this footage is over-exposed, it looks even lighter than lunar really does.

Nah, I bought what I wanted. All factory options except the tech package are things I actively sought after. And the tech package, while definitely not "necessary" I think is worth the value. And besides, nothing about this truck is "necessary", you could spend half the money if all you needed was a pickup truck. I am pretty interested in a bed cover, although not Toyota's in particular. My favorite right now are the diamond back covers. Those are expensive, but I think it's fair for their quality.

Congratulations 🍾 🎉 on your new Taco OR! I have same truck in Metallic grey see my channel. I removed my stock rim with a Method NV305 bronze I get head turns and compliments from friends . Oh btw how much did you pay out the door $ ? I paid $53 K marked up! Enjoy your new Taco!
