Did I fuck up?

>>16724368
Nope

You'll probably be able to sell that thing for like $20k 10 years from now anyway

>5ft bed
>"Utility"

Resale value is the most important thing in your case

>>16724368
Not how I would have spent my money, but who am I to judge.

>>16724368
Not bad at all

>>16724368
No not at all. In fact I am seriously fucking jelly. Congrats anon

bruh you're doing way better than most people

It's not without sacrifice, I work a very high stress job with a minimum of 12.5 hrs a day. I did luck out though. No college and I'm promoting within the company fairly well.

Nice grocery getter

>>16724624
Thanks I needed that pick me up today

I can sorta agree with the whole 'pavement princess" thing because lets face it, mate tacoma owners use them for nothing other than DD's. However, it doesn't change the fact that its a reliable manual truck with resale value thats through the roof. I can attest to that since i have an 09 in manual thats in great condition , no engine issues, just regularly maintained by myself.

>>16724681
I'm well aware of the pavement princess stigma, and I will be contributing to it 80% of the time. That's why I'm asking if I fucked up. Although I do plan on getting into wheeling/overlanding now that I'll have a vehicle for it.

>>16724567
Hmm, $32k? Probably a C5 Corvette and some sort of daily.

you bought what you really wanted. people here will give you buyers remorse. IMO they're sexy trucks in person.

To be fair, I have a GMC 2500 HD with an 8 foot bed, with a tool box/ job job that takes up about 2-3 feets, making it a 5 foot bed, and is still plenty for AC Condensers and furnaces.

Also this pic.

>>16725002
that's a nice looking taco anon

>>16724368
Tacos hold value really well. in ten years it'll be worth $10k, so technically it costs you only $22k to drive around in a new TRD.
Pretty decent considering most of /o/ rides the bus!

>>16725002
That's NOT mine. I saved it from /o/ though, someone was bashing short beds, and someone revealed that HEY WAIT A MINUTE, tail gates fold down, and whether you have a 4ft Explorer Sport Trac or a 3/4 Ton with a 8.5' bed, you can do a whole lot actually. Can't fit a washer AND dryer in a little tacoma though. I like my 3/4 ton GMC a lot.

Red Tacomas best Tacomas.

>>16725067
Short box is fine for women like op, but 6.2' or longer is mandatory for real work.

>>16725098
Like I said, my 8 foot box with about $6,000 in tools, does just fine with 5 after the gang box.

>>16724368
>Buying new

Why would you do this?


otherwise, nope.

>>16724368
I always liked the tacos when I worked for toyota. Kinda pricey, but I think you did igh't OP

>>16725106
>i can make do with my 8' box after putting things in it
thanks for agreeing with me I guess

I fucking hate suvs and pickup trucks but at least you got a good one.

Still don't understand the appeal, way too heavy to be any kind of fun. Maybe if you are an old man?

>>16724368
>I make 88k a year, I max my 401k, roth IRA, and put $500 a month into a post tax account
>Did I fuck up /o/?
These threads are always thinly-veiled ego stoking.

>>16725191
>Thinly

>>16724368
You fucked up. You should've got a 2WD automatic four cylinder, and had unrealistic aspirations of making it a pre-runner with nothing more than a change of tyres. Then you have to repetitively convince yourself and everyone else that "2wd can offroad just fine".

>>16724538
It almost look like a jacked barge

>>16724368
Not at all OP.

Those trucks are one of the best new car purchases you can make. They depreciate so little its absurd.

Glad you're doing well in life m8. Enjoy it. I think i'll be there soon in 3ish years :)

>>16725175
It's a different kind of fun.

>>16725075
Toyota red is the worst in my opinion. Any other manufacturer makes a decent red but this one, it just ain't right.

>>16724368
most people don't buy new trucks in manual, so it would be a bitch to find one used and since it's a toyota it will still be too much used.

If you really wanted it you should be fine. I had the issue of whenever I bought a new car or truck I fucking ended up hating it.

Enjoy that fucker and use it for cool shit like camping and fucking inside.

>>16724368
I'm jelly. Hoping for a Ford ranger 2019 manual, but if they don't produce a manual I'm going to get a Tacoma

>>16725075
Nah son, inferno or gtfo

>>16725108
the buying new meme doesnt apply to tacomas because they don't depreciate like a normal car

>>16725108
I want the new body style and interior, also it was shockingly cheaper to have it ordered from the factory than buying a 1 year old model.
