I got this as a loaner while my truck is awaiting a new ABS module; 2023 AC SR 4x4 with only 2,300 miles!

My house

 

This former company truck for Doylestown Glass Co. makes me feel better about resale value on my own truck; I do not know if this 2013 AC is an SR5 or a base model, because it has cruise control and intermittent wipers, but it also has black bumpers and doesn't have a backup camera...

I saw this sweet 2016 DCLB SR5 in the parking lot of a gym and stopped to take pictures. The owner, a woman who looked to be in her 20s, happened to come out as I was driving away; I turned around and we got to talking about Tacomas. Her dad bought this truck at some sort of wholesale auction, with minor front end damage. It has a clean title, and seemed to be superficial damage based on how she described it. Her dad fixed the damage, added the mods you see, and had the engine tuned up. The truck presently has about 96K miles and runs great! The woman and her family are not TW members, but after our conversation, I have a feeling they might be...

2020 AC SR in the same parking lot as the DCLB above...

Sloane Toyota in Glenside apparently has a 4th Gen, so my girlfriend and I are going to check it out!

 

Almost $46K and the damn thing doesn't even have leather seats!

Glenside, Pennsylvania

 

$46K for a SR5 ^^^^ that's NUTS !!

 

Thompson has a couple of 2nd Gens on the lot, both in good shape but with over 100K miles...

Doylestown, Pennsylvania

 

2011 DCSB SR5

 

126K miles is decent for a truck of this age, but it's a Tacoma so you're still paying a premium...

 

2013 AC TRD Sport

 

I miss the days when a well-maintained vehicle with over 100K miles was a bargain...

 

I looked online and saw that Peruzzi Toyota had at least two 2024 Tacomas, but when I got there, I found none; I did, however, find this beautiful 2023 AC SR5...


February 20th, 2024:

Hatfield, Pennsylvania

 

I loved everything about this truck, until I saw that it was a 2.7L/auto; I spent about a week with a 2023 SR 2.7L/auto as a loaner last month while my truck was getting fixed, and it was SLOW...



After a week of driving that truck, I would never buy one. If somebody gave me a new Tacoma no strings attached, even if it was a 2.7L/auto, I would take it. However, I would not want to pay for a 2.7L/auto 3rd Gen! This truck has less than 800 miles, which leads me to believe that someone bought it and was unimpressed with the performance...

 

Other used 3rd Gens at Peruzzi, plus some domestic pickups...
