Bought my first Tacoma and I am so excited

I am 23 and this is my second car but my first truck. It feels like a big moment in my life. Just wanted to show a photo of it and share my happiness here.

Congrats on your new Tacoma. I picked up a 2021 TRD Off-Road for about 34 total a few weeks ago. It already had 83k miles. I probably could have talked them down a little but I was so tired of shopping. In the end I paid a number I could live with and I am really enjoying it. If I had more cash I would have gotten a TRD Off-Road in your color. I do wish they made 4th gens in Cement too though.

I grabbed a 2025 SR Tacoma back in February. I like it a lot especially because it fit my budget.

Great way to start your truck life. Big congrats to you.

It is the OEM Toyota rack. It looks nice but honestly it is awful. It makes the whole truck rattle like crazy if it is windy and I am driving around 130kmh.

@Wyatt
kmh… must be our Canadian friends. The rack does look cool but you just confirmed what I was worried would happen on the highway. Congrats on the new ride by the way.

Yeah planning to get it removed in a few weeks.

@Wyatt
I get that. I am thinking about removing the step rails on my 25 Taco. They are more of a shin destroyer than anything else. I miss the electric steps from my old Expedition.

Get after it man… love seeing people excited for their trucks

Did you really pay 80k for it… please tell me you didn’t

It would be about $44k in US dollars. For a current gen TRD Sport that is not bad at all.

I got my 2021 TRD Sport for 36k. How are people ok paying these prices now

I think you paid 36k in US dollars. If you adjust for inflation and OP’s 62k CAD converts to about 44k USD, it is not that crazy. Your 36k truck would be about 42.5k now. Plus the 4th gens are better trucks all around compared to the 3rd gens. No offense meant.

@Olin
Yeah right. 62k is almost double what we paid for 3rd gens. Keep your inflation math. That is way too much.
