Quicksand
Hey Everyone, first truck and Tacoma. Will be a daily driver, mall crawler and mostly haul antiques, wood and plywood for home projects. Been lurking for the past month while trying to find my Tacoma and you guys have me excited to start making upgrades.
I’m not sure what the experience has been for the other recent buyers but it‘s tough out there if you don’t want something on the lot!
After driving a manual Dodge Caliber (with no a/c, manual locks and rollup windows) for the past 11 years, I was finally ready for my first truck as my wife and I are now homeowners and expecting our first child in August. Settled on a midsize and was looking at the Tacoma, Colorado and Ridgeline. Found a 2019 Ridgeline which was nice, and probably would’ve worked for the family as I won’t be doing too much off roading, but pricing wasn’t great compared to the new financing offers. Went to a Toyota dealer down the street and drove a 2020 OR and loved it. Wasn’t ready to pay for a new 2020 OR so had them look for an SR5 in Quicksand. Two dealers had them, one refused to trade and the other sold it.
Been waiting over 3 weeks and all the inventory was wiped out with no new vehicles incoming. Happened to see a 2019 Sport in Ohio only an hour away so checked it out. Fell in love and it only had 900 miles! Older guy owned it who hit some cars in a parking lot and had to give up his license. His loss, my gain. I figure if I could slug through 11 years in a terrible dodge I’ll be handing down this Tacoma to my new boy when he turns 16!
Couldn’t be happier after these first two weeks and have just started ordering some (mostly) cosmetic upgrades.
