Those are really nice. You should really it!!! Any mods planned??? JK 
And that is a good deal you got. 35k for new truck - 14k trade (for a 96?) = 21k Price. They jacked the price to give more for the trade, but still... looks good. A 4runner like that in Oregon would be around 8k trade in.

My friend just bought a black TRD double cab fully loaded and it came in at $31,170 and for $500 more they agreed to swap the hood over to the Sport's scooped version before he signed the papers.

ummmm, why?
93 octane has less power than 87. 93 simply prevents detonation in high compression applications.
if it's not required by the manufacturer, then all you're doing is paying $.20/gal more to get less power and less MPG's.

Sweet!
We've got 6300+ miles on our 4x4 TRD D'cab now. You're definately gonna like the power upgrade! We've been averaging 17.5 MPG (town) to 19.5 MPG (hi-way) on 265/75-16 MT/R's.
Do you have to pay some type of huge import tax??? We got the same package in the D'Cab for $26,650 US...

Nice truck, Vato. That price really isnt all that bad when you consider that truck has just about every possible option.
You could have gotten one with less stuff on it and probably gotten it for $30,000 but its only money and you can always make more. Life is short, why not go all-out?
Enjoy your new truck, in another 77,000 miles I hope to also be a Tacoma owner. At that point my '99 F-150 will have 200,000 miles on it and I will be due for something new.
Cap'n

If you want your full 245 - run supreme, it's silly not to particularly on any engine over 10:1 CR
