started shopping for new truck......#$#@%$*(()
had a basic price I wanted out of my old truck and a max for a newer one, took a short test drive and was hoping they would have a ballpark estimate on difference by time I got back, less 10 minutes. NO I sat there almost an hour and they were $2700 over what I told the salesman I wanted to pay, I said no and got up to leave, of course he said he would go back to his manager and see if they could come down. 15 minutes later he comes back and says they have come to the price but the tax and fees is what put it over, I said I knew that, that was why I said my max was with tax,title ect, out the door.
he followed me out to my truck and kept asking what he could do, I told him either get his boss to come up on trade in price, or he could write me a check for the $2700 difference, as he walked off another salesman came over and asked if I minded telling him what they offered me for my truck, I told him and he said he would give me $500 more for it himself, and If I wanted to sell it to let him know he was looking for an older truck in good shape.
I am tempted to give him a call tomorrow and sell it to him.....

My shipping crate truck for a 5.9 Cummins will hit 600,000 miles some time in June. Still chuckle-puckling along just fine. I ain't buying a new one for over twice what I paid for this one and costing the same as my firsts two houses combined.

Truck prices are crazy. I only put 9500 mile on my 14 Ford last yr. Should last a long time.

After many disappointments with domestic trucks, I recently switched sides too.

Just like mine, different color and mine is not sport, what is the difference on sport and regular TRD Off Road?
I got 100 miles on mine already 😊

My 2015 Ford F150 just rolled over 50K....the last time I took it in for an oil change, the dealer tried real hard to get me to consider a new truck....I told him I figure they have lots of folks that would like to get into this one....a 60K new one is a little harder to move right now....I will keep this one a while longer

The TRD Sport suspension is more tuned for on road driving, so says Toyota. The Off Road has some more exclusive features, like the black flares and the crawl control and limited slip diff.

That 6.0 will bring $20-$27k here! I wouldve sold that one outright... Love to go back to the lot and see what they have on it. Theres a 1995 F350 down the road that has $15k on the window, single cab with no bed on it

I hated doing it, but after being stranded for the third time in the past five years (on super bowl Sunday 2020!) by my 2007 6.0 Powerstroke I’d had enough. It just turned 100,000 mi, as I put no more than 8,000 miles a year on my trucks, but they’re used to tow the trailers and boat through the desert with the family so it’s not often doing any soft highway driving. I do 4500 mile oil changes, replaced three turbo boots, new alternator and new belts at 80k, etc.
Last April I went to my local Ford dealer (the sales managers wife works for me) and asked for a 2019 XLT 6.7 long bed, four door, 4x4. The 2020 has a new design ten speed tranny I didn’t trust, and they want a fortune for them. They searched and found one 2019 left with what I wanted down in El Centro Ca. It was driven to my local store for me the next day.
I traded in my lemon (No body damage and really clean looking, but the #8 glow plug was out...I got $6.5k for it, good riddance) I drove the new one off the lot for $47,800 OTD. Deals can be found, especially if you don’t mind buying last years model.
Yeah, the payment stinks but peace of mind is priceless. (The Tahoe behind it is my work car.)
Stay safe.

I have a Tundra that is a great truck,but I have a 99 Nissan Frontier that refuses to die.It will probably roll over to 500,000 miles in the next month or two.I bought the Tundra when the Nissan had about 375,000 and I thought it could not last much longer-Wrong- Pre 2000 Frontiers were some of the best small trucks ever made.Sometime after that the were bought out by Renault,who are famous for building junk and Nissan quality took a dive as expected.

There is a used 2020 Tahoe on the corner lot they are asking $74,000 and change for. People waste a lot of money on cars.

If the Kung Flu hadn't taken me off the road for a year, I'd be looking for a replacement vehicle. It wouldn't be new nor would it be a "truck" and within a few days wouldn't all clean shiny either. I'd be searching for another 2004-2008 Chevy 1/2 ton PICKUP. Pretty well satisfied with that platform as far as cost of operation, ease of maintenance, ride, and utility. One more should finish out my 2nd career and then I might buy something newer.

My son bought a 2016 toyota tacoma new . He had grown to hate the truck .It is cramped and had no leg room despite being the four door cab version . He told me tonight he is going to sell or trade it for a late model silverado . I cautioned him that used trucks are at an all time high right now .

^^^ True, but so is the trade-in value of the Tacoma.

Does he need a pickup bed? If not tell him to go test drive a 4runner. Way more roomy than the Taco.

Son-in-law is finance manager at a major Toyota dealership. He can't keep them on the lot. Says at the moment they sell so fast that the sales folks don't have to negotiate for a sale. Most vehicles are already paid for by the time they get them from the manufacturer.
Son might be able to get a good deal on a trade. Although, any truck at the moment is going for a premium.

Run like hell from GM. The LED headlights burn out by the millions and cost $$$$ to replace. Ever notice how many GM vehicles have one LED light burned out as you drive down the road?? The radio is part of the ECU and if it dies so does the truck$$$$$$$$$.
Spend 4-6K on getting a new bumper, new body panels and a fresh paint job. WIth that few miles and as little as you drive it will last the remainder of your life plus some.
B post I thought the same thing till I found out that the headlight goes out when the turn signal is on😯
