New (to me) truck.

[Shangobango]

I bit the bullet and upgraded. Needed a more reliable and comfortable vehicle for traveling and for far from home hunts.

2018 Tacoma TRD Off Road with 38,000 miles.



This is the old one that I am keeping as well. 300,000 on it. Excuse the boxes, headed to the dump.

Congrats on the new rig. Looks like the old one served you well.

Nice looking rides. I like keeping an old beater around for local stuff. They certainly have a lot more character developed than a new truck.

Absolutey! That old maroon Tacoma was my grandpa’s truck. I bought it from my grandma when he passed away back in 07. I figure I’ll have it the rest of my life.

Both are sweet rides!

Two thumbs up on both rides!

Clean looking truck, congrats! Also, the economy thanks you because I don't imagine a ton of people are buying at the moment

That new one is not even broke in yet....I have 356k on my 98,had 565k on my 82 when I sold it...

Thanks!

I thought the same about the lack of people buying. The dealer I got this one from said that they slowed down for a couple of weeks but have been right around normal since. I found that odd especially due to the fact that the oil field accounts for so many jobs around here.

I won't drive anything but Toyota. My Tundra has 141,000 on it. It is as good as when I brought it home in 2010. I run Amsoil synthetic only in it and have Toyota service the tranny every 60,000 miles.

Good news for the economy, but I'm shocked too by that. Not what I would have expected

I've seen it lots of times, farms keep the old truck as a work truck and when the fancy town truck is broken down in the shop (as the new ones often do) you see the old trucks as the go to trucks again.

Had a 09 Taco for 7 years/120,000 miles. Not a single issue and sold it back to a dealer for 65% of what I paid new. Sold it because I had to go work in Europe for a while and couldn't take it. Would have gotten I new one when I got back except for the one weak spot in my opinion.......the tiny bed I just needed an 8 foot bed several times a year. Soooo, I went to an old truck (Doug now) and a motorcycle (did have a leased car for a couple of years). I have never know anyone with a Taco who had any real problems. Congrats!!

I've got a 01' Tacoma with 140k Miles that I absolutely love. I've about pulled the trigger on a New Tacoma several times this spring but haven't done it yet. 2 Reasons: 1st, My 01' Runs Perfect and 2nd, Finding a new Tacoma with a manual transmission is like finding a needle in a hay stack.

 

[utah400elk]

I have a 2017 Taco Off-road and love the truck. Wish it has a bit of a longer bed a few times a year but...overall, very happy. I keep it low miles (25K now). It will more than likely become my son’s in 6 years when he is 18.

Well if I was trying to sell you something I wouldn’t tell you how bad I needed the money....
