    I know it's not everyone's favorite .... heck, for that matter, I can't say Car and Driver is still my favorite ... but I still recall the test drive in my old '13 Q5 and how knocked out I was by the transmission. I can say it's been the best automatic I've ever experienced.

    I agree. My first experience with it was with my F31 and was very much surprised. SQ5 was great with it as well. Had a new Q5 loaner with the stronic and didn’t like it but don’t recall feeling then same as my B8S4.

    Anyone driven or have any experience with the new XC40? Wife is making noise about a new car, and this ticks a lot of boxes on paper. She wants something smallish but nice. Some ground clearance and a hatch are essential. I wish we liked the Q3, but it's just not up to snuff IMO.

    Hit a milestone in the stablemate. It's been a minute since I put 100K on a car.

    Yeah, the power train is pretty unflappable. I was starting to get an itchy trigger finger for a new work/rough duty vehicle, but cresting 100K kind of made me want to see just how far I can (reliably) take it. And I truly love Outbacks for what they are. I suspect the reliable mechanical life span will far exceed that of the electronic gizmos. That's where it's already starting to have some issues. I suppose that's pretty true of most cars these days though.

    Not gonna lie, I'm really digging the new Volvos. I haven't driven one yet, but I'm tempted to go have a look. I'm afraid I'd end up bringing home a new V60 though...

    I've looked at the configuration tool a few times for a V60. They do look pretty good. Would only give it serious consideration though when the T8 or R Design, better yet a Polestar Engineered version of the wagon.

    Wife would definitely think I've become an old man. First a MB wagon and then a Volvo wagon.

    They look great. My wife is on her third Volvo, all purchased new. The current one is an XC90. She's starting to look to replace it at 90,000 trouble free miles. Only routine maintenance. But, the frequency of repair on current Volvos is really bad. She may move to a comparable Lexus SUV or a Q7.

    Damn! New color?? Looks pretty cool.

    My Tacos will always be white with TRD Sport trim.

    Yeah, ‘19 color, and I’m pretty sure exclusive to the TRD Pro. The decals are a little much, but eff me, that color. Saw this one today where I was working. They weren't even asking the ridiculous mark up that all the dealers down here do, though the TRD is overpriced anyway. But that color.

    Official Q Chatter Thread

    So there's a good chance I'll be bringing this truck home tomorrow. 12K mile lease is surprisingly cheap. I wasn't really in the market, and never considered a lease for a truck, but someone without skin in the game was talking to me about leasing Tacos. I'll absolutely go over 12K per year (probably 15k plus) but he was saying that mileage is pretty irrelevant because the actual value is so much higher than the residual at the end of the lease that virtually everyone buys them out and sells for more, or trades them in early because of the equity. I ran numbers based on what for sale in the used market, and it does seem to work out that way. Seems like an odd approach to car buying but if for some reason it didn't work out as hoped it would be a buzzkill, but certainly wouldn't be the end of the world. Wheels are turning.

    What's the lease payment? I need a 5K mile lease. And you could always drive the SQ a bit more to offset.

    I do believe it would play out as mentioned. I bought two of my Tacos new. Paid $29,500 for for my 2009, did 19K over two years and sold for $29,000. I paid $30,500 for my 2014, did about 10K over a year and sold for $30,500.

    Quoted me $350/month with $2k down. She said “that’s a starting point, but we can work with you some more”. Haven’t haggled yet as I wasn’t committed, am thinking if I can get them down around $320 I’ll do it.

    For real??? I'd do that. Tell her to work another in lol. That's nuts. I priced a Colorado for fun the other week and it was $410 hard hook from the GM 8k miles.

    Yeah, the manager chimed in on the email thread too, so seems legit. I got quotes from a couple other dealerships as well, and while this was definitely the best, it wasn't like an entirely different league than the others. Meanwhile on the other side of Crazytown, this same dealer quoted me $806 and $10K down for the Voodoo Blue TRD PRO they have, which has a sticker price difference of $8K. The down, monthly, and residual came out to $72K. For a Tacoma. Fuck. Off.

    I looked at Colorados a bit too, a few months back. Pretty screaming deals available. I didn't get lease quotes, but a $40K Z71 could be had pretty easily for around $32K. I drove one, and it was actually super comfortable. I liked it, but no blindspot monitoring is a deal breaker in LA traffic for me, and it just didn't have the X-factor that the Taco does.

    Taco bros! Looks like it's happening on my end. We're going to test drive it tomorrow, just so the wife can drive it (mainly to look at the color). That white sport looks awesome. You need to do it, because from what I've seen the Tacoma forums are no place to be, and I need someone to dial in wheel fitments ;-).

    New Truck Day! Deal went sideways on the blue one (they sold it, but didn't tell me before I came down). They gave me a slightly better deal on this one, though it had a few more options (notably the predator steps), and are going to give me a tonneau cover at cost (though I may go a different route), so I ended up with a really smoking deal. Super stoked. This was actually the color I've wanted all along, prior to the Cavalry Blue becoming an inline option, and probably one I'll be happier with in the long run over time.

    Mops On The Move
    Thanks! Ended up at $325. Famous last words, but I'm gonna move slow with mods. Just tint to start, and maybe an HID conversion. I want to do wheels, but will probably jump up to 17s, and kinda feel like I should get some mileage out of the stock tires first. Need to look around to see if take-offs fetch anything worth while. I like the Vorsteiner Venom Rex, but haven't done much digging on wheel options yet. Trucks are a whole new world for me.

    $325 a month for that... so awesome!

    You want SCS Wheels. I ran them on my Taco's.

    Suspension... Toytec spacer and coil level kit.

    Rubbers... K/O2.

    Those look killer, but it's a huge jump in offset (+25 to -12). I know the 4X4 crowd goes nuts with offsets, but am concerned about driveability with that big of a change. Whutchu think?

    17x8.5 -10 is not aggressive at all! I ran 285/70... you could run 265/75 without issue.

    Doable on stock suspension you think? I was nosing around tire rack just to see what they consider fitment that will work. There was a method wheel with a 0 offset that they labeled as “aggressive”, and said would likely need a lift or fender mod to work with stock tires. I know they’re super conservative though. I guess it’s time to post up on tacomaworld, though that’s a needle in a haystack. Anyway, Rayno S9 tint went on today. Black badge overlays going on tomorrow. Ordered the black SR5 grill bezel which will complete the chrome delete aside from the exhaust tip. Got a line on a lightly used Undercover Ridgelander tonneau locally that I’m probably picking up Friday. Then I guess the wheel situation becomes unavoidable. So much for going slow.

    Drove the SQ today after two straight days in the truck. It felt amazing. So hyped on the Taco/SQ combo, and how they play off each other.

    Had to evacuate the house for the 2nd time in 3 years today. Packing up your meaningful items while watching a fire bear down on your house is some shit. Got to see some tanker drops at pretty close range. Heavy day, but when we left it seemed like we'll likely dodge a bullet thanks to favorable winds and some serious ass-kickery by the firefighters. Hopefully good news tomorrow.

    All the best to you! My heart hurts for everyone. One of my wife's dear friends going back to high school....her aunt and uncle retired *last month* to Paradise. Just moved in all of their belongings....everything is gone. They're safe, and they're certainly grateful, but man it sure brings home the message.
