How far did you go to pick up your 4th Gen Tacoma?

12 miles. I have 6 Toyota dealerships within a 30 mile radius of me.

349 miles one way to Cheboygan, Mich.

They had the 6MT bronze oxide TRD Sport I was hunting for. Just an allocation at that point. Put $100 down to reserve in Feb. 2024. Was built March 6 and loaded to rail March 7 for delivery on April 11.

During that time, had the dealer install 265/70 BFG KO2's with front level kit, remove air dam, place TRD air filter in, do a first-time alignment, and picked it up. First image was in dealer wash bay.

Before I got home, I loaded some stuff for the trees, so first load hauled before I even got home. Some squat showing likewise.

There are half a dozen Toyota dealers in and around my market (Charlotte NC). Got the best offer from the North Charlotte dealership 20 miles away.

An OR Premium, 6spd MT and sway bar disconnect was pretty tough to find.

Going to local dealers to try and get one in the production pipeline was a total waste of time, and an exhaustive lesson in how well Toyota has mastered the customer 3rd sales strategy.

Well said, man!

Except it may be truly 'customer 4th'. Toyota #1; Gulf States Toyota (geographic distributor) #2; dealers #3. You and me #4.

I drove a rental car from Tallahassee Florida to Village Toyota in Homosassa Florida 167 miles. Then I drove from Tallahassee Florida on a Thursday after work and drove to Denver, Colorado to pickup my Warhorse Overland trailer Saturday morning and came back to Tallahassee and arrived on that weeks Sunday night. Around 4000 miles in three and a half days.

I had to drive 6.5 miles to pick mine up, I was lucky that my local dealership was willing to work with me when I ordered my TRD Pro.

Tomorrow, I will drive about 110 miles from Dallas to Waco in my 2006 Tacoma to pick up my new 2026 Tacoma TRD Off Road.

Congratulations in advance! That is a long time in between Tacomas.
Who is getting your outgoing Tacoma?

I am trading it in to the dealership.

@28Gauge, would you be kind enough to let me know how much you got from your trade-in? I'm thinking about either selling my 2nd gen Taco (2008 TRD Sport) to the dealership or to CarMax. I don't know why I didn't trade it in when I went to pick up my 4th gen in Dallas. Thanks in advance.

Most dealers will honor the Carmax trade-in offer. That's what I did when trading in my 2015. Got me an extra $2K from the dealership.

$9K. I could have gotten more if I had sold it myself, but I got a pretty decent price on the new loaded Tacoma. The 2006 was a PreRunner with nothing fancy on it except for a couple of mods that it did.
