Might Have Found It! Opinions??? Advice???

So I might have found the combo that I was asking about in another thread.

This might fit in my garage! And keep my HOA happy!

It isn't exactly what I was originally looking for***(see link at bottom of page) but the ability to park this at my home may trump other considerations.

So, your questions and opinions, please:

Price: according to car driver, the national MSRP for this is just under $35,000. The loan peak V1 shell looks like it lists at about $5k - $6k and that puts the combined base price, new at about $41K. There are a couple mods, but adding them to the depreciated basis makes the price of $39K seem high.

So what's your opinion about price?

The only recalls and/or problems I've found on this year SR models involve a problem with the axle, and the brakes, and the screen of the info center.

If any of you guys have a '22 model, can you tell me whether you've had problems with the brakes or the info center? In general, is 2022 a good year/bad year for this model? I'm not a Toyota guy so I'm not knowable about the Tacomas, but I do remember reading something about the frames on some of these being a problem and I can't remember what years that was. 🤔

How about your experiences with a loan peak, pop-up wedge Camper Shell?

I will probably have a few more questions once I dig deeper, but again any advice, or opinions, whether usable, helpful, sarcastic, or just silly, or even insulting, would be appreciated😆

I was intrigued with the Lone Peak, but decided against it because of the need to break camp whenever you wanted to go somewhere. I do like to explore once camp is established. No other complaints. If you think that would work for you, go for it!

For me, a good quality tent might have been a solution.
 
Over the decades have had and enjoyed two Tacomas. Both were reliable and capable light/medium duty trucks. A wedge topper fits these trucks well. Folks do a wide range of outfitting to meet their needs. The many threads here on EP just prove the concept.

I almost went with this approach when I fully retired…but decided to go full size. But it was a close call.
