Traded in the Taco

So yesterday, I traded in my 11 DCLB PreRunner on a 2013 Dodge Ram with the Hemi engine. I got offered more money for the Taco than I owed on it, and got the Ram for $7k below sticker. Hated to trade it in, but the deal was too good to pass up. Drove it back from Atlanta today and averaged 19.2 MPG.

I will have a set of Husky floor liners for sale shortly.

Thanks for all the info and help from everybody at TW!

another one gone. . . pay attention Toyota.

congrats on the new truck!

 

well i saw three people buy brand new ones on friday while I was getting my car serviced so we are still plus 2

 

Someone will buy his traded in Taco say they are glad they didn't get a ram. Good luck on the repair bills as it ages. They are good when new, but show their age rather quickly.

I bet it get's horrible city mpg and you will hate paying to gas it up.

 

You came out ahead trading in the Taco. I doubt that will be the case if you decide to trade in the Ram. At any rate, enjoy your new ride.

 

Thanks! It's really nice. It has a lot of things on it that I see people wishing for on their Tacoma. Heated mirrors, power locking tailgate, rear disc brakes, better suspension are just a few.

And you know about the city mileage how? Lemme guess your wife's cousin's sister knows a guy that has one and he said.....

They might say that they are glad they got the Taco instead of the Ram until they try and load it down, and realize it has shitty suspension, and the brakes aren't up to par. Ask me how I know... And I drive and 18 wheeler, so I know a little about towing stuff.

Considering that I drive my work truck back and forth from the house, the mileage won't be piling up on it, so I'm not too worried.

Thanks. Don't plan on trading it. It's exactly what I need/want. Will probably drive this one for quite a while.

It's got a lot of power. Thanks!

 

Nope, it's from personal experience. Unfortunately I drive a ram for work. It's a '12 1500. I don't pay for the gas, so I am happy.

Well, you should leave TW right away since you got a ram. No sense on have everyone bash you for it, unless that's your intention and the reason you announced it to all the TW people.

 

You guys are gay, say enjoy the truck and move on.

OP: enjoy the truck and the power! the new rams are pretty damn nice.

 

As requested.

Went to a Regular Cab, cause it's huge, and I don't really need the double cab.

 

nice

 

No...my intention was to tell everyone thanks for all the help and information.

 

Thanks...I enjoyed the hell out of it driving back from Atlanta. It runs like a raped ape

 

and boast about buying a ram as well as bash the taco has you have in previous posts in this thread.

 

The rams are great looking vehicles, please don't call them trucks, people who work for me don't even call them trucks. They look good. And are relatively inexpensive for their accessories. They do not hold their value and are not trucks.

 

Ya they do, my buddy just traded his 05 in with over 250 k on it and he only replaced wheel bearings. You should be able to drive it for a while!

 

Relax... he didnt bash the Taco he said it had bad suspension for hauling stuff and bad brakes. Its gonna be okay

 

What was his trade in value?

 

Thanks!

 

One of my employees has a 2005 Dodge Ram and wants a Tacoma but won't trade it in because there is no resale value on it, he knows he has to drive it til it dies.
