I seriously think driving truck would be not bad. My bro makes like $150k, doesn’t have to deal with anyone’s shit and loves it. It’s just not quite tempting enough to bail on my current sitch.

Salvage title? 2WD? I haven't seen a single Toyota truck worth buying for 4500.

Its 4wd no mention of title status but other than the issues mentioned and the clear oxidization it looked...like a reasonably clean 20+ year old truck.

It looks very clean. The lift is a little :notsure: but overall this thing is promising. I legit haven't seen a Toyota truck this clean for this cheap in my searches in Michigan, Colorado, and Arizona. Perhaps Tennessee is the place to buy these trucks for cheap? Rust wouldn't be a concern.

No. He has a daughter who lives with him, but she's like 20, probably suits them both that he's gone a lot.

My Toyota :dillerman: has my ideal Tacoma coming in...

https://www.serratoyotatraversecity.com ... 5nt096772/

Loaded up with a bunch of accy's :bs: but still, the wants for a long bed :manuel: Taco are real. Maybe I should consider flipping the S10 before the market falls out...

I don’t like that price… but I do understand the taco wants. I’m still hunting for a 46-48k :manuel: trd pro. And it looks like 23s are now shipping but unfortunately they are in orange … and I have yet to see an orange taco… :notsure: about that

I don't like the price either, the fucker is loaded with accys I don't want. BUT, it's the only way to get a :manuel: long bed and AG is gone for 23 so this is it. I probably won't do anything due to :scrooge: I haven't driven the S10 in a few weeks now. Would be an epic waste for a new vehicle to sit there like that.

I don't like the 23 Whorange, and I love whorange. It's too red to be whorange, too whorange to be red. Bleh. Army Green and Lunar Rock destroy that color IMO.

It looks like faded red. Which is :disgust:

There are no official Taco pics in this color so this is the best bet.

It seems to vary a lot based on light and camera processing. Most photos I've seen make it look like a faded red, like Eric said.

It's a wild color in terms of appearance under various forms of light. It's like my Super Poo Brown BMW.

Well, one thing is for sure, it's gonna be BRIGHT. So if that's your thing, I don't think it's worth splitting hairs. If I were in market for such a thing, I'd buy the whroange. Hell, if I didn't like the AG on our 4R so much, I'd probably cash in on it and buy a Whorange Bro to replace it.

But damn, AG is a 5/7 color. It's incredible how many comments we get specifically on the color of the truck. It's a shame Toyota didn't continue that color longer.

Well they did which is how you got yours. I shopped in 2020 for a AG pro but it was unobtanium so I settled for a LR which then turned into my fav color… it looks like history is repeating itself in 22, there are 6 manual pros in my area right now (way more than in 20) and they usually sell in 7 days or so… 4 are white and 2 are lime. Each one of the limes wants 6k, 12k markup. Which I am not paying.

The issue is Toyota as you know makes annual special colors for the pros and then they trickle down to the
entire lineup… Id probably even get an AG trd OR :manuel: but they are impossible/just as hard to find properly equipped.

Yea, AG had an extended run...3 model years total. I was somewhat hoping it might just become a permanent color.

The AG Taco :manuel: long bed at my :dillerman: is indeed tempting.
