hello the names D,
Ive been riding public transit nearly half my life. Ive been sitting on some inheritance money from my father for nearly a decade not knowing what to do with it. Ive been super hesitant in buying a car because of all the problems that can ensue with owning one. I recently just came back from a trip to new york with my brother. It was at this point over many beers and slices of pizza did i begin to actually want to use my inheritance for something meaningful. My brother told me about "over landing" and the concept of it just being able to have the freedom to just pack up and get out of dodge just pulled my curiosity with such fervor.
why i chose the Toyota Tacoma. I used to work on a pot farm and one of the workers had a truck (if your guessed toyota tacoma, Bingo) that he slept in instead of a tent like the rest of us. i saw his set up, it wasn't anything super fancy but he had a camper in the bed and he had his cooler with food and his sleeping bag. But what really sold me wanting the same truck as him was when the rain came, the workers couldn't do much because of the weather so while the rest of us were in our flooded tents he was chilling in his truck with some hot tea and vodka, relaxing in his sleeping bag all cozy while reading a book while having the sound of rain hit the top of his camper.
I want that.
i want to be able to just leave and disappear deep in nature and not have any thing bother me but the sound of the rain hitting my truck while and i chill with my book. i know barely anything about automobiles. My brother told me the best place to learn is message boards/forums on cars/camping/over landing which brought me here.
what should i look for in buying a toyota tacoma?
Is there a specific year/model i should be on the look out for?
what are some basics in maintenance in caring for a truck?
im not looking to spend more than 5k.
thanks to all who respond.
