I spent what I was willing to of my free money to purchase what I wanted for hobbies I enjoy. Vehicles are a negative investment 99% of the time, just gotta know what you're willing to sink into them. Could be worse, I could have bought a boat or got married.
On the other hand, its capabilities out the door are incredible even with everything at stock. It is 4x4, which is an addition that is almost always worth it unless you'll never go off-road and live in a good climate. Performance wise it isn't much of a change from what they've been making since 2004, but they added a lot of nice little upgrades.
Aftermarket is still mostly being designed, so there aren't many options yet. Tacoma's are great if you like off-roading and wheeling, one of the most supported platforms for aftermarket.
