Where did you buy? Nice truck. My old Tacoma was a 2009, with 209,000 miles. Never a major repair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said traded in my 2009 with 209,000 miles. They gave me $8,000 trade in. I’m good friends with Brent LeBlanc, Price’s son. Got prices here in Tx. So I drove to La, drove back to Tx with a new one. At one time is was the number one vehicle with the highest resale value. Enjoy the new ride. I’m close to 20,000 miles on mine, had it less than a year. The newer ones, you change the oil every 10,000 miles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While up in ATL for the SEC Championship game. I text Brent, just to let him know I was having lunch with my sister. My sister handled the Floor Plans for their dealerships for years. About an hour later, he called asked if I was going to the game, I said that I had two in the 200 sections with the TAF, he said that he had 2 in the 100’s and would give me those. So I used the two free in the 100’s, sold the 200’s at cost $130 to my friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My record, a truck for one year. A car, once it broke 19,000 miles, I sold it. I had replaced the gas tank, transmission and A/C compressor. Never bought another GMC car after that. As for the truck, never bought another GMC truck after that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was to buy a full size, I like the ford. Toyota is a great truck, gas mileage is terrible. Last trip to N Ga a girl ran into the back of my one year old Tacoma. I have right at 28,000 miles after a year and a month, the Covid has slowed me down! I have a Ford full size rental now. Nice truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice truck. i grew up a Ford guy. but they have priced themselves out of the game for me. i get decent mileage with this Tacoma just hate the small tank. So despite getting roughly equal fuel mileage, i’m filling up waaaaay more often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchertiger Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 2015 Dodge 1500 Crew Cab w/ Hemi. Had an extended cab before that and traded it in at 178,000 miles. Would have kept driving but it developed an issue with the cooling system that nobody could figure out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSUDad Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 In BTR, looking at another Tacoma, a year and 8 months, fixing to turn 45,000 miles. I should have waited a year, the 2020 has more on the radio, apps, Apple CarPlay. They have what I want, just waiting for them to truck it in. I was talking with them, they had a little over thirty hit the lot the other day, 27 were sold, before getting off the truck. Gave me good on my truck, plus good on a new one. My cousin wanted a new RAV4, they had one on the lot, but it was sold, that day, didn’t have a new Tacoma on the lot. They are saying close to two years or more before they catch up. I passed by another dealership today, just to see what was on the lot, they have another add-on. Market Value Adjustment? Yep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishhead Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 2013 Ram 3500 Crew Cab Dually. (I like big butts and I cannot lie) Looks like most of y'all are different than me with regards to vehicles. I haven't bought a "new" vehicle since 2000. I buy lightly used and keep em forever. I just got rid of my 2005 F-350 last year and gave my son my 2006 F-150 when I got the Ram. We gave my youngest son my wife's 2007 Hyundai SUV. I had a lot of issues with the F-350, but tallying up the repairs with what I paid for it when I bought it, I spent about $35K total and bought it with 60K miles. My Ram had less than 90K miles when I bought it last year. I put a lot of miles on them but take care of them along the way. F-150 has 260k miles F-350 had over 300K when I got rid of it Ram has a little over 110K miles right now. Oh, also, on the Ram, I had it deleted earlier this year. Programmed to add 75 hp and the fuel mileage went up pretty significantly. Towing my camper, the F150 got between 7-9 mpg...ugh. Even not towing, hovered around 15...HIGHWAY The Ram got 11 towing it pre-delete, and about 14 after. Not towing, about 21-23 highway. Crazy to think vs the F-150 that this huge truck gets that. The F350 got about 11-12 towing the camper, and around 17-18 no tow. (It was also deleted back in 2011) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
