    okay so most of the 2nd gens are here, the newer trucks so its gonna be more money yet toyota charges an arm and a leg for these- 25.000 to 40.000 as asking a bit for a car (i know its nice but should it be so high?)


    what are people doing to buy these trucks?

    Paid cash for 2 2011 vehicles. I am 39 and have a great job. I am older than the average demographic on here. I have gone to college and worked my way up over the last 17 years of my career. Plus a little bit of timing helped to. If I was coming out of school today, it is probably a bit rougher than in 1994.

    I transformed my brain into a veritable index capable of retaining any and all information it comes into contact with. Then I become such an amazing know-it-all that people pay me with almost real money to go away after I fix their crap.
