You’re looking for a truck you can trust to get you over the toughest terrain in beautiful North Carolina. Then, you should try out a Toyota Tacoma to explore the Burlington, Greensboro, and Durham, NC, areas—and the team at Cox Toyota is here to help you find the right trim for you and bring it home.

What about your payment plan when you bring it home? Have you considered leasing your Toyota Tacoma? If you’ve never heard about leasing your vehicle, we’ll go over the basics of leasing here, and one of our finance specialists will go over the whole process when you come in for your test drive.

Meet the Toyota Tacoma

The Toyota Tacoma is a fantastic pickup that is just as at home on your commute as it is on your adventures.

Outside, this rugged pickup comes in exciting colors, like Electric Lime Metallic and Solar Octane, while inside, you’ll have options like fabric or leather-trimmed seating. You’ll have plenty more options to choose from when deciding on Access Cab or Double Cab and Standard or Long Bed styles.

When it comes to staying entertained when you’re heading out to your favorite campground, you’ll have standard Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, and Amazon Alexa compatibility. This means you can set up your favorite podcasts and playlists from your phone while you head out on the road.

The Leasing Process

If you haven’t leased a vehicle before, or even thought about leasing before, you may not know what the process will be like. The first steps are very like traditionally buying a car. You’ll visit our dealership, pick out your favorite Tacoma model, take it for a test drive and speak with our finance staff. The changes will come after you bring your vehicle home.

You’ll drive as normal for the length of your term length and then bring your Tacoma back to us. You’ll have a few options from there: You can renew your least agreement, lease the latest model year, or lease a completely different vehicle. If you love your current lease and don’t want to part with it, you’ll also have the option to buy your leased Tacoma outright.

Buying vs Leasing

Now that you understand the leasing process, let’s go over a few of the differences between buying and leasing.

When you buy your Tacoma, you’re going to own it outright. This means that you can customize your pickup however you want or need, and you can sell or trade it on your own schedule. This is the option for those that want a vehicle for the long haul.

When you lease your Tacoma, we’ll still own the vehicle and you’ll rent it from us. What this means for you is that you’ll always be under warranty since we’ll still own the vehicle. You may also have a lower monthly payment, and a lower down payment, if you have a down payment at all.
