The Future of your Truck

Lexus Truck · 10-18-2009, 10:48 AM

Like the title says, What is the future of your truck? Iam thinking about tradeing in my truck for newly designed tacoma. I like the look of the new 4runner so Iam anxiously waiting to see what the new tacoma will look like. I read in "4WD Toyota Owner" That the 2010 FJ cruiser features several upgrades that includes dual VVT-i and roller rocker arms on the 4.0L V6 which adds 19HP and 1 MPG increase. Will this be the same on the new tacoma?

98_Mud_bug · 10-18-2009, 11:17 AM

im keeping mine and will turn it into a trail truck and play toy and i will probably get a new prerunner and either long travel it or get the sport and make it a shiney street queen with a supercharger and such..

Foster9091 · 10-18-2009, 11:19 AM

Gr8WhiteTaco · 10-18-2009, 11:20 AM

I wanna keep mnie forever and sometime get another vehicle and turn the taco into a hardcore trail rig.

MotoXdoer · 10-18-2009, 11:32 AM

mod it for offroading and eventually buy the new body style and keep current as a weekend toy

Scottcrumley24 · 10-18-2009, 11:39 AM

First thing is the SAS with a front locker!

i'm hoping to keep my truck for as long as possible

cmack48 · 10-18-2009, 11:55 AM

If all goes well, I'll keep this one for approximately 5 and a half to 6 more years. Then probably get a new Tacoma.

t-com09 · 10-18-2009, 12:31 PM

What I'm going to do is drive my '99 into the ocean, park it there for a week, then bring it to the dealer and get my money

Or resell it...whichever comes first.

Too early to really ask IMO seeing as we're still a couple years out at least from a new Taco. I just got mine this summer so I'll have it for awhile. It's paid off and I hope to keep it til I can afford to pay cash for a new truck again. I'd like to get 7 years out of this though at least.

707tac05 · 10-18-2009, 03:34 PM

I'm keeping mine as my daily driver until I get enough money for a car. Then gonna make my truck into more of a trail rig.

Colton · 10-18-2009, 04:44 PM

I'm keeping mine until it dies... Can't afford another vehicle.

itsmyturn · 10-18-2009, 04:50 PM

keeping it forever, although i almost traded it in for a vw passat. but in the long haul it didn't make sense.

SlurpeeBlueMetallic · 10-18-2009, 04:58 PM

Dude, I drove a Stratus base model for 13 years and 176,000 miles. For 5 of those years it had no A/C (in Texas) and the radio amp was blown. I'll be in this awesome rig until the wheels fall off more than once.

SecretSquirrel · 10-18-2009, 05:25 PM

Its paid for and doesn't cost me anything month to month other than insurance, so why not keep it?

Probably will pick up a DD in the next year or so...
