What's the chatter on the 2018's?

I know the feeling. I was silver / white or cement and I haven't seen a cement Tacoma just 4 runner and I liked it. But all in all they are all silver or gray color just little different. But I have white now on Colorado and had it 2 vehicles back and one before that so all the colors are just al on the road,

 

Ok I talked to the dealer principle and he told me the Toyota remote start will be available for the Tacoma and the Tundra and will be going on sale this spring. There is no part number available as of yet. So it looks like one more winter without a remote start but I think it would be worth the wait. I have one on my Camry and it works very well.

 

That goes along with what my dealer told me also.

 

Does anyone still need pics? I found this 7568 in Cement with Leather today.

 

thanks. I wanted to see it. mine is due next week

 

Are the taillights the same or did they do LED?

 

Second day with the 2018 and I swear the steering wheel feels smaller (thinner) than my 2016. It's hard to get too excited about driving essentially the exact same truck, but I'm noticing several very subtle changes. The cruise control is fantastic, my wife's car had dynamic cruise and I was always a little jealous. The auto high-beams are great, but I think they are annoying for other drivers. I had to turn them off after getting "flashed" by several oncoming drivers. Temp was 31 degrees this AM and the heated seats don't heat up as fast as the 2016 cloth, but once they warm up it's pretty nice. Seemed to bring out the leather smell, which was absent when the truck was delivered. I really wish remote start was an option. Overall I think the extra $1000 price-tag for the 2018 was worth it.

Just FYI for those considering a 2018 or waiting on a build to be delivered.

 

Any Howling from the Rear Diff?

 

Test drove my new 2018 DCLB TRDOR today. Sweeeet! Quite the change from my current 2010 SR5 2.7 stick. Was concentrating on the transmission more than anything, trying to detect the excessive shifting we've all heard about, but it seemed pretty normal. I guess time will tell.
I gotta say, I wasn't excited about the black leather seats, but they sure as hell look much better than I thought they would. I'll pick her up tomorrow or Friday.
Oh boy! A new car payment.

 

Found this cement beauty at the my local Toyota today. Sticker price is listed at $41,175.
It had all the bells and whistles (premium/tech/leather) and...MANUAL TRANS! This Tacoma wasn’t listed on their website and it had the 995 delivery charge so I bet someone is about to pickup their new baby.

 

Nice. I knew your user name looked familiar. What racks are you using on your Tacoma? I'm looking at the Thule xsporter pros

 

Ha! Don't think that starts for another 500 miles. I think that is a 2017 thing, I never had any issues other than the shifty transmission on my 2016....and TSB fixed that.

 

Hopefully next week I'll be on here saying I got an 18

 

Sweet! That's exactly what I have on order scheduled for production next week. Any more pics?

 

Picked up my ordered 18’ DC OR MT last night....Drives way different than my 17’ DC Sport I traded in, I love it ! Should have the lift kit, wheels and tires in the next two weeks.

 

Nice Truck!!! The Off Road is much smoother than the Sport.

 

sweet. mine is due in any day.

 

The paint looks like primer. lol

I'm not paying $40k for a truck that doesn't look painted.

 

Trading in our 16 on an 18. Our 18 is supposed to be built on the 14th. Hopefully here by end of year.

 

When you look at this, do you think cheap primer paint?
I will say I don't like the chrome trim on the new 18's in cement, that bling will be coming off post haste.
