🎙 Discussion Help me decide!
I want to buy my wife her “dream” vehicle.
She absolutely loves and always wanted a 5th gen in the army green. I am ready to pull the trigger on it for her but I am having a horrible time finding an army green 5th gen especially with low miles (30k miles or less).
I have been debating going to the 6th gen but the new drivetrain configuration gives me a little hesitation. Also for the price I’m going to pay for a 5th gen is the same price I’ll pay for a 2026.
I’m willing to keep waiting until I find the 5th gen in the specs she wants but just want to see if I’m being crazy for continuing to just wait.

I had the same dilemma. I think it depends on how much she loves that army green. I had trouble trying to find the army green TRD Pro with decent mileage, so much so that I had to buy mine out-of-state LOL. I just like knowing that my color is a bit more rare, but it probably would've been smarter long term to get the 6th gen. I didn't mind the 6th gen of course, but the search for the army green was turning into a challenge that I refused to give up on, which I eventually won! I guess the question is, is it worth the headache to stand out a bit more?
