I found this site after buying my 05 Tacoma. Lot of good info to be found here.

Nice job!

Make sure you add a photo of your Tacoma to your name so it shows when you post. (That's my silver bullet next to mine!)

I put 900 miles in 2 weeks on her so she's parked in the garage and I'm driving my old 92 Subaru for a week....dont' want to max out my warranty miles too fast!

Did you get the extended warranty? My Father-in-law has owned Toys since the 70's and highly recommended it. Not because Toys are junk but because parts cost a lot more than American cars and you always want to use OEM. (He had a 79 Toyota, Corolla, that had over 300,000 miles on it....the entire body rusted out before the engine went!)

My extended warranty is for 72 months/100,000 miles. (I keep all my vehicles as long as possible so it's worth it for me.) I just sold my 89 Z-24 to a college kid....keeping a Chevy running 16 years is NOT easy, let me tell you!

I did not get the extended warranty. I know the parts are a bit expensive but with A Toy you can not go wrong. I'll post my pics as soon as I have the running boards installed. Mine is Black Sand Pearl and it is just incredible. I am looking into the bed cover, but one that slide or fold back without the buttons.

Last week I bought a Sport #2 2WD that was being built this week.
I got it yesterday and so far love it, will have some questions though.

I read all the posts going back several months and private messaged several members for advice. They helped me more than you can imagine,

Would like to thank everyone for all the help.

This is a great forum with great membership.

I am waiting on the same truck you got. What color did you get do you have any pics?

blacktac · #99 (**permalink**) 02-19-2005, 09:59 PM

congrats on the buy, i just drove down from seattle to san fran in it, and it was just a pleasure, best high beams i've ever encountered by the way.

i saw two truck loads of new 05s heading out to dealers on my way down so hopefully they are on their way to happy and anxkously waiting owners. i got lucky and bought my black on off the lot. i noticed lots of silver and red on those delivery trucks.

and also incidentally starting off with a full tank, i only had to fill up once in medford, or and another time in sacramento only. just the same if not better than my 00 dakota v6. btw, wtf is going on with ca's gas prices??? your regular is more expensive than our premium grade!!

kbshadow · #**100** (**permalink**) 02-19-2005, 09:59 PM

Thanks

I got Silver, raining bad here but detailed it with Mothers new wax, and took a picture in the garage.

Really happy with the paint job.

So far no leaks like I read about.

When do you get yours????

************

I hope I get better mileage than in my Dakota V8, 12 around and 14 on the freeway.

Good going. Too bad about the rain test you got this weekend. I ran into the same stuff coming back from San Francisco. Next weekend looks promising though. How did you do at York Toyota?

Hello everyone! I'm just traded my 2000 Dakota for a silver 05 Tacoma DC TRD 4x4 yesterday - man is it SWEEEEET! Straight off the showroom floor.

I couldn't believe the power of the v6 when I took if for the test drive - blew my old Dak away!

Can anyone tell me what the DeeZee step tubes cost from the dealer? Can you order them any place else - another other tube brand suggestions?

Thanks,
Tim
