Looks like a grest deal but I will not buy a TX edition. I hate shiny stuff (I.e. chrome) and wheels larger than 18s.

Monte, what color is it?

Just giving you an idea of what to expect in terms of discount if you decide to buy something. That truck happened to be the best price I could make on a 4x4 Crew Cab I have several others with a similar discount and more options. I'm out of the LT Z71's but have several LTZ's.

If what you mean by that is that they talk about problems on the forum, then that was my point. In my experience Toyota drivers only talk to other Toyota drivers about issues they have had and when a dodge, chevy, ford guy sticks his head in they all act like Toyota is the best thing since sliced bread, never breaks gets the best fule mileage in the world and the v-6 has more grunt than a heavy duty diesel.

Just my opinion from my own observations. I wouldn't hesitate to own a Toyota car or small suv etc. Their trucks are just too uneconomical for me in the fuel economy department. I know some will say you give up the fuel economy for reliability and performance, but the other trucks I have had were/are reliable have plenty of capability, and get better fuel mileage and from my shopping efforts cost less.

Towing 11,000 lbs with any gas half ton on any sort of grade isn't a good idea. My dad has a Tundra with a tow rating of 11,000 lbs. They tow a small, light bumper pull trailer (about 6,500 lbs loaded), and it struggles when on grades. And the gas mileage is awful even on flat ground. I'm starting to figure out that the torque in my Eco Diesel might be as much or more valuable as the 11k lbs tow ratings on some of the gasser half tons.

I have never noticed that about Toyota owners...everybody is passionate about what they drive...folks that drive Toyotas are no different than those that drive Chevys Fords or Dodge ...there are people that blow smoke about whatever they are driving at the moment...It isnt just Toyota drivers

Can't go wrong with the Midnight Edition. This is what I pull my boat with.

Only gripe I have with Toyota trucks is fuel mileage. My 90's model chevy with a 350 v-8 got the same fuel mileage that a decade newer Tacoma with a 4.0 v-6 got. Past that I think they are fine trucks.

Almost every Toyota truck driver I talk to has some story about how the big 3 are total pos's horrible quality and every little thing goes wrong. The same just hasn't held true for me. I was car shopping earlier this year and almost bought a Toyota but decided to buy an ecodiesel instead which gets about the same mileage as the camry I was looking at. I am not brand loyal at all, I buy what is best for me.

I like that. No chrome to speak of. Does the midnight come in white or just black. I am going to have to price one of those when the time comes to buy. If it were not for 4 new Cooper ST Maxxs sitting in my garage and having to pay sales tax the time might be now.

I have had Ford Chevy and Toyota trucks,had a Plymouth mini van years ago which was a very good vehicle...not brand loyal...my first consideration when buying is will it do what I want it to do,second do I like the looks and third cost to buy.....mpg doesnt come into play with me,I wont go for a few more mpgs and drive something I dont like the looks of.Most people I talk to about whatever they drive consider theirs the best and the rest a POS......I think the Chevy vs Ford debate is bigger than the Toyota vs anything else debate

Why do you consider purchase price if you don't consider mpg? That doesn't make any sense to me. I'd rather put more money towards the value of my vehicle and less towards burning gas than vice versa. Gas doesn't have equity. Trucks do.
