STORYTIME : I Bought A NEW Tacoma Because Of A Joke...All The Details Like The Price & Features... 

Why put the 3K on the card ? You should of financed that into the loan. I am sure your paying more than 5.5% on that card....

You always been a great storyteller

That's a damn good lookin truck, Jeff, congratulatios! I'm pretty sure you'll love this truck forever!

Can't go wrong with the Tacoma. Such a beautiful truck

I bet that $2,500 they took off the price toward the end was homeboy's commission loss for confusing everyone with wrong details. Live and learn bro.

GodDAMN Rocco's a beat, excellent buy, my friend!! He will serve you both well.

I’m back and forth between a Tacoma and a Highlander right now. One kid right now with hopefully another in the near future so weighing in on the space

Prices on cars are outrageous now days..i was looking for a truck but they were all too expensive.

I’ve had 2 Tacoma’s. One was a 2017 and my current one is a 2021. Made the mistake of buying a new Ram in middle. 🫤The 2017 was fairly heavily modified. My current one is only lightly modified. One little piece of advice I’d give is don’t go crazy with the mods haha. Weight, aerodynamics, and dependability start to go down a little in my opinion. Obviously if you have unlimited money that’s no big deal, but still making payments makes you think about it haha. I’m going to do the same thing, drive it till the wheels fall off! I’m tired of car payments. I’ve bought something new every two years. Luckily I have a work truck also so the Tacoma has only racked up 7000 miles in the last couple years. My trucks name is Tacomole!

Man i thought i had it rough with $458 payments... then again i do got it a bit rough paying 28% interest on a 7 year loan on a stupid 2015 nissan juke SV. I wish my 2004 Cadillac CTS hadnt blown up because then i wouldn't be in this stupid situation.

Highly recommend the non slip Tacoma bed mat. Keeps everything from sliding around like it’s on ice.

Would have liked to see you point out some of "all of the details" under the hood, interior, a POV drive but it's a still shot of the car throughout. Words are good but to see the actual in and outs of the all the features would have been nice. I guess it's ok though cuz then you have more things to make videos on showing the POV drive, 5 likes and 5 dislikes and stuff.

Damn, $614.00 a month for a car payment😬

If I didn’t have the need for a full size truck I’d want a Tacoma

Change that honeycomb grill! Lol

That is a very nice Truck!

I was hoping you were gonna take us for a ride Jeff! 😢😂

Manual? Free oil changes?

Wow you're rich kolonel You've come a long way since the chrisler 300

Toyota probably holds there value more than any other vehicle

Total crap, that is how every car sale goes. They knew what you said with the down. Just tried to dupe you. Total crooks. I hate dealing with them . Good thing I'm a bigger a hole then they are.

Nice taco, ma

Jeez a lot of haters on here considering they aren’t the ones that have to make the payment. How about shut up and let Jeff enjoy his truck?

nice

Hey just FYI, I think your channel is being shadow banned and whenever I click on your vids I get ads for herpes meds! LOL

So you 1 upped your Dad

You had access to a miata, didn't do fat man in little car I'm disappointed. 😂

I wouldn't lift it it'll ruin it and sink its resale value

As someone whose channel is devoted to modifying my tundra you can absolutely modify it and stay under warranty! Just stay under a 3” life and don’t mess with electronics!

I've never heard of people putting a car purchase on CC. Probably not a bad idea given the perks-but you have to have the cash to pay it off right away to take advantage. Hopefully that's your plan.

Your transparency on all your personal information and everything else as far as what you paid what you owed and your whole situation is honestly why I love your channel and everything about you. You’re a great guy and so helpful to anyone you come across. I am in the exact same position you were in right now. I have good credit and a good job but I just can’t stomach a 6-700$ payment but I want the Toyota Tacoma sooo bad. I completely relate to your father’s situation as I’ve been living breathing and thinking Toyota Tacoma for the last year now. They are soo expensive but so worth it, it’s just the dam interest rates are so bad right now. Anyways thanks Jeff for this video I know it’s a few months old but I saw at the perfect time.

I agree with what you said. Life is short, if you want something then just do it.

Yay story time! Need more ❤

Nice buy. Just got mine last week.

Lol what you said about Tacoma nicknames at the end. My one buddy texted me one day and told me he got a "taco truck" and I was like wtf because I literally thought he meant like a food truck, a taco truck. I had no clue what he was talking about.

Thats more than my mortgage payment😂

Paid off my 2015 altima last year..my son turned 16 and i gave him my car. I ended up getting a 2023 gmc terrain...i hate the huge payment but have peace of mind knowing i have warranty on it instead of buying a used junker that i dont knw if ill have problems with.

I also purchased a Tacoma with the idea I would keep it for 20 years. 2013. After 10 years I've only had to replace the cruise control stalk, do a lot of highway driving. OEM used, $25. If the next 10 years is anything like the last 10, I'll definitely have gotten my money's worth.

My buddy got a new 22’ Tacoma he’s had about a year now(7500miles) and we both think it’s ok just has become overpriced for what it is… His 4wd actuator is broken(won’t go into ANY 4wd high or low, known issue they will fix free just hasn’t) after 6 months, the sensor in the front emblem(yes there’s a sensor in the emblem) malfunctioned or was having trouble & replaced, and the bed makes this annoying squeaking sound we and nobody else can figure out… He always complains about some kind of automatic driving feature(he can’t turn off) that kicks in all the time(especially on two lane roads) that he HATES and has to fight in the steering or brakes/gas?(I’ve never drove it so I don’t know exactly what he means). Other than that the bed is tiny, road noise isn’t great, and I was really surprised how small it actually is inside and out… I personally like the truck, but my buddy hates the issues he’s had on a brand new vehicle(especially his first toyota), and if he could do it over he says he would probably think a lot more about going with a Tundra for how expensive the Tacoma was, what $ he put down, and for better towing/room. He wanted the one with the bigger bed, sunroof, and some off road “sports package”(idk what that includes) but they were impossible to find at the time he was looking to buy. One other thing I noticed was the seat height to floor ratio, the seats seem to sit a lot lower to floor compared to “American” trucks that sit higher/normal, in the Tacoma my feet feel way forward like my thighs are close to the floorboard, instead of more up & down like a couch feeling in an American truck, idk it was just different from trucks I’m used to, guess it’s like a more “high performance” seating like in a corvette or something being lower to the floorboard body roll and turning doesn’t feel as bad/extreme… I just hate how expensive its become, I remember not long ago when Tundras were 50k$ and Tacomas were actually affordable trucks regular dudes could own/afford. I’m glad you love your new truck! I like your plan for keeping it long term, I think that’s a good idea! These trucks really hold their value!!

Hey man, you only live once so you might as well spend the money you make. Especially with no kids... LIVE IT UP Jeff!!!! Cant take the money to the grave with you!

In October 2022, the 2015 Silverado 1500 we inherited from my wife's Dad was totaled out by a Sherrif's SUV. The insurance check afforded us a 2020 4Runner TRD Off Road (Auto-Trans) with a whopping 10k miles on it (literally owned by an old couple as a winter vehicle). I really dig the 6 Banger compared to our 2000 Tacoma SR5 4-Cylinder (5-speed manual). Both are Gray-Man looking vehicles (they're both plain old Silver) & we've had the Tacoma 20 years! Our 3rd vehicle is a 2003 Silverado 1500 Shorty-Side-step fire engine red. It's currently residing in my late F-i-L's garage 420 miles away. We're using it as the trailer hauler while we clean out the place so we can move in eventually.

Thank you for sharing I have the same ideas you were talking about with your truck

My Older sister has a Toyota Tacoma she has hers for 20 year's drove it out of state a few time's they are tried and true for running long time.

Hi Jeff congratulations let me know if like do something together with truck

Great truck just got my third Tacoma a black 23 pro

I have a Toyota Tundra V8 sr5 2000 its the best

To the holding their value topic, my local dealer just sent me the current Carfax vehicle report for July. My 2019 Tacoma TRD Off-Road, with low miles at 15,963, is valued at $36,950 trade-in. Whether I'd get that in a private sale, who knows, but that price is around what I paid for it. Love Toyota resale values, having got 54% on a 1989 P.U. with 120K at 8 y.o., and 56% on a 2001 Tundra Limited with 87K at 12 y.o..

You should get you a tool box

the sport and off road are essentially the same truck. The off road has crawl control where the sport does not. you can add the tech package to any of the TRD's or Limited models. Leather typically only comes standard in the Pro and Limited models. If you have leather in an off road it must have been an add on. Either way you are going to love the truck

Tacomas had a reputation in the north, for having frame damage from rust.

Hopefully no stigmas about them being made in Mexico will decrease their value.

I have a 2019 Tacoma sr-5 its been a great truck, A little pricy but worth it.

Turbo’d 4 cylinder? What?! 😂🤣

$14 is about what you spend on water bottles a month right?

I bought a new Acura TLX 4 cylinder twin turbo. If the "Green Agenda" means i get 300 Hp with 32 MPG. Well sign me up i guess, lol.

what about the rav4? edit i guess this the video i was waiting for

Truck looks like it's grinning 🤣lol

Still love my 23 tacoma trd off road, I feel the same way about it as far as having the v6. Things I have done to mine, falken wildpeak all terrain, trd lift kit,trd aluminum skid plate,back rack. Not very happy with the backrack quality...

Not sure if yours has this little Easter egg, but my wife’s Highlander has a cool feature where if (drivers door) you put your hand in the door handle to unlock it and hold it there for a few seconds, it unlocks all the doors and not just the driver door. Convenient cause if you’re by yourself you can unlock just your door and if you got people waiting on you, you can unlock all doors

You should really sell any precious metals you have to pay off the credit card. Makes zero sense to pay interest on a credit card while hold metals…

I love all of Toyota's safety features that are part of their Safety Sense 2.0👍 I got in 2022 a new 2022 Toyota Corolla Hatchback XSE that was made in Japan, and I absolutely love it😁

My buddy did the same thing, but he leased it. Save 3 years of income tax refunds and then purchase the car after his lease . This way, they have payments around 300 for the time of the lease and financing

That's a lot of money you spent but at least you won't have to worry about repair bills.

Is this new of a Tacoma actually naturally aspirated?

Hey Jeff, That clean spot on the door is driving me crazy. Tacoma is a looking truck I to wouldn't mind getting one but I just traded my 22 White Outback for a 23 Black Outback with all the bells and whistle's, and I too will take pictures of every where we go. Jeff great story.

Hey whatever you gotta tell yourself to justify it. I'll stick with my 20 year old truck and $0 monthly payment.

i just got a 2020 taco. looks just like yours. first mod, get the bed stiffener's, it s a glorified plastic bed. I down graded from a 2008 Tundra. but its a upgrade! people talk about power, this kicks the shit out of my Tundra

Excellent choice. Off Road is def not middle road. It’s the second to last trim level. It’s very premium. And I love my TRD Sport.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but the way you told the story makes me feel a little bad for your dad... I'm sure it's not a big deal, but it sounds like your dad had wanted a Tacoma for a long time, and it took him a long time to be able to get his 2015 Tacoma which I'm sure he's super proud of, then you go get a 2023 a couple days after? And please, I'm not being a dick, just saying what I felt when I watched the video, I felt like you announced your engagement at his wedding....was there none of that? Am I crazy? Thanks Jeff, congratulations on your truck!!

Why not a ford raptor?

Change your oil at 1,000 miles. For your first oil change, then every 5,000 miles after that.

My medical insurance is 2 truck payments. Yours is more fun.

Just bought a 30 year old Miata myself, they still are a great answer for cheap fun car!

What year is it?

Bought an SR5 last October, always wanted a Taco since I was in high school. So far I’ve done a couple cheap mods like adding OEM bed lights, a millercat catalytic converter shield, and upgraded the halogen low beam bulbs. My recommendation is stay off tacomaforums if you want to save some money 😂 congrats on the truck Jeff!

End of an era! The whole v6 thing is making me want to keep mine forever. But I would fancy a Super Duty.
