Or you can be like me and say if they try to sell me anything in the finance department, I’m walking away. Effective strategy. I tell them if they waste my time, I’ll waste theirs. Usually 10 mins in and out of that chair. I also always negotiate trade and new as separate transactions. If hey...

New York, capped at $75!

Dealer dependent. Find a new dealer if they will not agree otherwise. I went to my closest local dealer (had a choice of 5), required $500 fully refundable deposit during my order process. If I like it, it gets applied toward my down payment. If I don't like it, dealer gives me my money back...

I was waiting longer anyway due to me keeping the splash guards on my order. Haha! I didn't go Hybrid either, but did do 2.0 AWD Lariat + Lux + all the other packages. I went in totally expecting delays and receiving late Q4 2021 or sometime within Q1 2022.

I don't mind White vehicles, and I found out there are two different Oxford White paint codes. One is Z1 and the other YZ. I wanted pure white, which is, after research, Z1 on the larger F150 and F250 SD, but the car based ones get the slightly off-white, some call creamier YZ version, which...

Yup, if an ST trim level was offered, I would have probably opted for such, as long as the content was the same as my Lariat + Lux package.

My 2019 Tacoma has a very similar cubby, plastic twist lock, easily accessible. I keep 3 smaller ratchet straps in there and haven't had an issue yet, and that's without any bed cover. I guess someone could just walk away with the little cubby door if they wanted, but I'd expect my bed mat to be...

I didn't even see any door jamb stickers when they opened the door. It may be due to it being pre-production example. If they were available, I'm sure TFL would have otherwise made comment on payload of this particular optioned vehicle.

I changed from Oxford White to Carbonized Gray the other day. I saw a full size Bronco in that color at the local dealer, in the sunlight, I was sold. I also kind of wanted a metallic color this time around so it worked out well in the end.

I would have been all over this Rapid Red color if it wasn't First Edition exclusive for MY2022. Would have looked great on my fully loaded Lariat build.

Fully aware. I personally would rather have had the option of Rapid Red on a non-First Edition, rather than the Hot Pepper Red that is shown above.

I would have been all over Rapid Red if it weren't only limited to First Edition for MY2022. All the Rangers I've seen in this color all show the Orange undertone in real life. Cameras and monitor/ screen adjustments don't always show the Orange, like the ones I posted above.

I still prefer Japanese manufacturers (Honda and Toyota), but neither make a vehicle like the Maverick. I am stepping outside my comfort zone, but I typically purchase vehicles for my needs, not to find something within the constraints of one or two manufacturers. I'd for sure consider a Toyota...

I am used to running Premium fuel has I have been required to run that for 14+ years now in my 2007 Honda Civic Si sedan. It will be like second nature anyway. I don't think I'll ever voluntarily sell it. It's my 219 Tacoma that's getting the boot - too many unresolved issues with it. My Honda...

I am not aware the 2.0L Ecoboost is both Port and Direct Injected. I’ve only seen it with Direct Injection. From what I gather, both the larger 2.7 and 3.5 are and the much smaller 1.5. The 2.0 and 3.0 still remain DI only.

Yes, cruise control is an absolute joke on my Tacoma. It also holds the lower gear way too long after the hill levels out. The powertrain is downright frustrating for daily driving. The howling rear differential. The ridiculous amount of interior rattles, especially when the weather turns...

My 2019 Tacoma has been the worst vehicle I have owned. It is up to 7 unscheduled maintenance visits in 20,000 miles. It is a shop queen. Sits in my driveway because after 2.75 years, I can't stand it and most of the issues remain unresolved. I don't really put much into perceived reliability...

If Ford and even Hyundai, can prove the segment is sizeable and growing, it could be plausible for Toyota to enter the unibody compact truck segment. I'm not having good luck with my 2019 Tacoma, but I would have given a Toyota competitor a look that competed directly to the Maverick. The...

That's because the current BoF of the Tacoma dates back to beginning development around year 2000. It was introduced for the 2005/6 model year for the 2nd generation and was massaged for 2016-current 3rd generation. They are slowly making the move to their new TNGA-F platform for BoF vehicles...
