Calvary blue and cement are both sick. I have a silver sky metallic Tacoma and love it. Best looking midsize truck out there by far.

A little word of advice: you better have that bad boy checked out for leaks, wet carpet, and black mold. Tacoma’s are notoriously bad to leak around the 3rd brakelight. This is a major issue.

Nice truck, but where’s the other half?

Cement looks best.

definitely go with the four door, but if you can find a 6'bed go for it. 4dr/5' just looks short bus uneven to me.

Btw - Gas mileage is horrible, 16-18 on avg city driving. Doesnt have any kind of giddy up and go, so sux when you need it to respond.

Is it or does the cement one look like it has a 6' bed on it? Or are these just random pics? No fender flare either which is odd for the package.

I have a 2013 Sr5 4x4. I still love the truck. It has 106k miles on it. The only repair has been a new master cylinder.

Best truck I’ve ever had.

The new Adapative Learning transmission aggravates me and causes some lagginess. There is apparently a new computer flash update available at the Dealer that fixes a lot of these problems but I haven't had the flash applied yet. There is also an ECT Power button below the head unit you can push that will greatly improve responsiveness but you have to push it every time you start the truck up.

They make an aftermarket plug-in box that can retune the transmission. The name escapes me. I had thought about getting it a while back, but I've been driving mine for two years and I have gotten used to the stock transmission timing.

Epa says 20-23.

The v6 I drove has more pep than my 5.4L F150.

This is probably the exact package I’ll go with.

started looking on used lots, but quickly realized how dumb that is. A 2016 TRD Off Road (the trim I want) with 45K miles can be had for $29k - $32k Whereas a new 2019 can be had for $35k - $38k



The market for these is so fricking stupid. One with 130,000 miles is still like $19,000. Its so dumb.

I've seen that. There is also an after market Etune you can buy and flash yourself that gets good reviews but it's $800.

I have a 2016 4x4 OffRoad in dark Gray metallic. Truck is bulletproof so far. Couldn't be happier.

Highly recommend.

I have a 2005 4 door with 145,000 miles and I’ve never had any issues besides routine maintenance and I drive on a farm routinely. Hoping to keep it for another 14 years.

This is the color I have, not the same package though. 100% recommend predator steps over running boards if you can get them thrown in. Looks much better.

Those off road wheels are hideous. I don’t know why Toyota can’t that right.
