Thoughts on 2019 Tacoma TRD off-road.

[soap]

Just curious. Why did you pick such an expensive truck? I know it's not my business, but be careful with that life insurance money. It can help you out in a lot of other important ways down the road. You can get a FX4 cheaper and have a capable truck. Those trucks you're looking at don't depreciate, so good luck on saving on used unless it has ridiculous miles.

Not touching the insurance money. Like I said I’ve been saving up money for a few years now and I had two older trucks that I sold.

As far as why the TRD off-road. Something different basically.

Save yourself $20k-$30k and get one a couple of years old with around 30k miles on it.

It'll have way more than 30k miles to save even ten Grand.

I had a sales guy who bought one new. He put almost 50k miles on it in 1 year. Brought $5k less than what he paid new.

I’ve actually planned this out for the last 2 years. Been saving up in a special jar.
Plus i sold off 2 of my junk trucks. And worked on my credit for a lower APR.
I’m going to put $10k down. But I hear what you’re saying.

Good deal man. I was REAL hesitant to post that, but my gut told it needed to be said. You've endured great loss and know how hard it can be to think clearly in times of stress.

AFAIK, they're good vehicles, but man to man, making big purchases on this side of what you've dealt with and are goin through generally isn't advised.

Good trucks. Hold value well. Worse mpg than a full size with a V8. Good size. Easier to park.

I have an older Tacoma and love it

[soap]

the old suburban I had for my RV business gave up the ghost last month.
With all the shit that’s happened lately I need a new reliable mid size truck I don’t trust my 06 Canyon for this kind of work. So like I said I’m looking hard at the Tacoma TRD off road. Just wanted to see if anyone here has one and what their experience Has been been so far?
