Buy used, buy a 2018, or order a Pro

Thanks for all the advice.

I'm keeping the Tacoma and hopefully getting a 2018 SR5 with the Sport package in the next day or two. We're stuck on the KO2s, which I'm asking them to throw in. I considered swapping to the Pro grill, but the sensor bothers me.

 

The grille on the sport looks really good. Congrats on your truck. Ko2 are great tires too btw. Pics of the truck when you can.

 

My wife is excited to have less white knuckle towing. I am as well.

 

you’re going to love it. Not too mention all the room in the crew max. It’s night and day

 

It's getting tight in the back of the Tacoma with the dog and kid on longer trips. Back seat of the CM is super in comparison.

 

I remember the first time I actually sat in the back of my Tundra on a trip i was like “fuuuuu*k” hahaha. I was in a Tacoma for 3 years.

 

Your right on the gas, I average 13 mpg on a good day!

 

Where’d #2 go?

 

10 mpg’s here in the 02’. Towing mix and hauling heavy stuff in the bed. She’s making me money though. $$$

 

I didnt like #2 so totally ignored it.
Stealership will butcher him w S/C install.

 

That’s all that counts! Cool!

 

I bought a black 2018 SR5 with the sport package today. It had $450 worth of repaired hail damage in June, and with the rebate, got it for $38,500 + d&h. Added front tint, bedliner, and black badging for another $1200.

I didn't get the KO2s. Will post pics once I get it.

 

Nice, 4X4?

 

4x4.

 

I'm excited to start with no chrome. My Tacoma is a black Sport as well. I now have three non functional hood scoops.

 

Only like 5% of the population knows they aren’t functional. So you’re still a bad ass to 95%. That’s pretty dang good.

 

Had an 06 double cab for over 10 years. Better built and better finished truck in every way. Not as strong for towing but if I were to do it over again I’d keep my 06 till it died.

 

This Tundra has been six years in the making. I loved it but couldn't fit in the garage in 2012. That and the s/c made the difference in choosing the Tacoma back then. It was a great tow vehicle as my family was getting into camping in a trailer.

Six years later, I'd rather not kill my Tacoma when grey and black tanks are filling up and we're in the mountains. To have the space, power, reliability, and good looks is a rare combination. For a first time Tundra owner, it's pretty exciting.

 

First gen ftw!

 

Finally picked it up last night. Spent all day in it today driving around for work. Awesome.

Crappy pic, but you get the point.

 

Great choice. With the incentives, it seemed like the obvious choice. Plus that 18 sport is hard to find now, at least here in CA.

 

I’d vote #1. The Tacoma is a keeper.

 

Very nice! and well worth the wait! I bet you're loving all the interior room! I know my wife and kids love it. Now you get to start personalizing it with mods, lol.

 

My son was a huge help. He was starting to getting jammed in the Tacoma. Next mod is some K02s, but not right now. Can't rock the boat.

 

Honey, the tires are worth more now while they are new, Discount Tire allows trade ins...gotta plant the seed.

 

My overall Tundra glee caused her to suggest maybe I should drive it every day and get rid of the Tacoma. Can't rock the boat. Tires for Christmas.

 

If you are in a tight parking garage, you may not like a tundra.
The stock market is doing really well. Take the money you have saved and invest. Keep the taco for 12 months. Then reassess and see what you would like to do with your gains.
