Why shouldn't I trade my 2016 Rubicon for a TRD?

    Lol, I sell my bikes every 2 years or so and you should see the offers/nonsense I get from CL here in Jersey. Such an ass pain.

    Update to this thread. I went ahead and lined up the deal about a month ago with the manager of the dealership I know. If any of you guys are close to the Toyota of knoxville I had a great experience with them.

    Basically he looked for a quicksand, and there were none he could trade for, and I also looked for one close by but couldn't find any. he was able to get the next time best thing going and reserved a magnetic grey for me, that was supposed to be built July 13. he didn't know any other packages it had, just the offroad and 6 speed. He said I would break even, maybe getting some money back for the jeep. So I waited a month and parked the jeep in the garage.

    once it was built he found out it had the premium entune package, as well as towing and running boards, which I don't care for, but it was basically decked out. I waited for it to be delivered and I went up yesterday and picked it up with 4 miles on it. I love it. I'll try and post a pic. Oh and it came with a lifetime drive train warranty from the dealership, I got 2k back, and I have the 5 year Auto Butler finish as well, and the 7 year bumper to bumper warranty. What a deal

    I traded my 12 in on my 16 taco. I HATE IT. Been to dealer 4 times. I regret trading in my jeep.

    I had some issues with my jeep. Like the whole cooling system replaced 3 times and i mean the whole cooling system. I also still have a 2014 4 door and no issues. But i think i have a true lemon on my hands. I wouldn't go for the 16 though. Look at 15s.

    I did the opposite. Sold my 13 taco bought a 16 rubicon and love it. Will say tho tacoworld is way better than the jeep forums.
