It’s getting to be time to upgrade the 2004 Taco to something new. My list of “must haves” is 4x4, D-cab, long bed, tow package. The wife’s list includes sunroof and heated seats.
A couple of questions.
I have been pricing them on-line, the TRD Sport and TRD Off-Road start with the same “Starting MSRP” $35,770. What am I giving up to go with the Off-Road versus the Sport? Besides the hood scoop and the “sport tuned suspension”. (sport tuned suspension on a truck??) I am gaining the locking rear, CRAWL traction system.
Toyota “Genuine Toyota All-Weather Floor Liners” $139 for the front. Vs. Weathertech $109 for the front. Any experience on which are sturdier?
I have the Line-X in the back of my current 2004 now. Love it. First truck (1992 truck) had the plastic, drop-n bed liner. Hated that. With the new plastic beds, do things slide around like the old plastic drop-ins? Has anyone had the Line-X done to their new bed? Issues? Does anyone have the Weatherteck “Techliner”? Looks like a decent bed-liner that will help keep things from sliding around. Is it too sticky to keep things from sliding when you want them too?
On a similar note. The 2004 is going to be for sale soon. My thoughts were to put it up here and Craig’s list for a week, e-bay for a week, all depending on what the dealer is willing to give me for a trade-in. So if anyone out there is interested in a clean 2004 D-Cab Pre-Runner with 180k on it, let me know and I will keep you informed on when it goes up for sale. KBB has it for a little under $10k.
