Deciding between Sport and base package

Fair enough.

 

That's what we often do ... makes all the difference when people are competing for your business.

Usually, we work one dealer down as low as we can, then we can get an extra 500 bucks off [or a feature like added running boards] just because we got a printed quote from another dealer.

Later edit: perhaps, it is for this reason that dealers do not like to give written quotes.

 

I went with a new SR last November It was 8000.00 less than the SR5 then added what I wanted lift new tires other options and it is still 5000.00 less and the trucks the way I want.

 

I wish I could. I just need the extra cab space. Nice truck!

 

You dont lnow that for sure. Get you butt down to the dealer with the wife, kids and car seat in tow.

 

Haha. I'm going first thing tomorrow morning

 

Sorry bout that didn’t know you were looking at the crew cab. The SR I think is only available in the double cab

 

No problem. I'll take all info lol. If it was just me I'd definitely get the SR or SX package

 

I just picked up a CM and am glad I did, with the wife and 3 boys 7,5,3 the 3 yr old in the car seat and the other two in boosters it’s a way better fit for me coming from a 06 crew cab Tacoma we were packed in like sardines

 

same! with a wife and 3 girls 12, 9, 4 the 4 in a car seat its tight like a tiger in our Tacoma double cab

 

Ahh finally someone else that knows the struggle!!!!! I didn’t even look at the double cab and went strait for the CM

 

Haha im with you brother! same here, I went straight to the CM. Its winter here for most of the year so we carry extra bags just in case plus all of our jackets. Gets tight! Don't even mention grocery shopping in the Tacoma.

 

Lol when we go places as a family we take her 17 expedition but if its me and the boys goin fishing or hunting it’s the tundra, I still have my Tacoma I’m not sure if I can come to terms with letting it go

 

3 girls here too. I did look at the DC and the leg room in the back seemed about the same as my taco. The middle seat is especially bad because of the center console. Also, the DC doesn’t have the rear AC vents in the console for the backseat. We decided no on the DC rigjt away. No regrets with the Crewmax.

 

Nice. We have a 08 4runner too and we normally use that if its all of us. I wish I could keep my Taco too but I know I wouldn't be able to afford 2 trucks lol

 

yea, I peeked into the DC and wasn't impressed at all.

 

My taco is paid for the wife wanted me to get a f150 and I told her I would do that but I’m keeping the taco, and if I ended up with the tundra I would sell the taco, well let’s just say the taco is out of site out of mind lol it’s nice to have a dark corner in the shop

 

Haha nice. I was considering an F150 too but I couldnt... I've always had toyota vehicles. Ny first truck was a T100!

 

My first was a 81 4x4 I still miss that truck that’s when I was 16 now 34 and still have Toyota’s I was raised around them it’s all I know

 

Smart man lol.

 

Dad raised me right he gave his 85 standard cab on my 18th birth day, he bought it the day I was born it had 500,000 miles on it when he gave it to me

 

I was in the same boat a few years back now all kids all grown up and out of house I really wanted a regular cab Tundra but settled on the double cab since Toyota doesn’t offer regular cab anymore looked at the Tacoma but kept hitting my head getting into it drove the Tundra and that was all it took.

 

They last forever! When I sold my T100 it had about 300k

 

Same here! I still hit my head and knees getting into the taco. Dont get me wrong, I looove my taco but it's time for a bigger vehicle

 

He has a 99 taco extra cab auto trans all stock just normal maintenance with 408,000 miles and counting he drives it 100 miles a day back and forth to work

 

Dang. I do have a 2000 tacoma pre runner 2wd and only take it out once in a blue moon

 

My first Toyota was a 84 4x4 xtracab solid front axle that truck was a beast it would go everywhere

 

I bet! Love the 80s trucks

 

I was in the same boat. I was looking at a SR5 and TRD Sport. I didn’t like the chrome on the SR5. I had completely removed all the chrome on my Tacoma, so I didn’t want to have to start over with that. The Sport had no chrome, the TRD sway bars, LED headlights and fog lights, and front and rear parking assist. It also had blind spot monitoring and cross traffic alert, but I can’t remember if the SR5 had that or not. I could’ve saved some money with SR5, but the Sport is what caught my eye from the get go. I also kind of like the scoop.

All of the extras on the Sport were worth it to me. I just need to upgrade the tires to something a little beefier.

 

i do wish the sr5 had the blind spot monitoring. I feel like that should be standard on all cars by now. for safety.
