    I'm torn between a CPO 2013 TRD Off-road DCSB with 36k miles and new 3rd gen TRD Off-road DCSB. Basically I'd be paying $5500 more for the 3rd gen which I can afford so money is not my issue. At the moment I'm leaning towards paying a few grand more for brand new but am uncertain if the new gen is worth it now since there's still a lot of kinks to work out from the sound of things and I don't want to wait for subsequent model years. Suggestions?

    Did I step back in time or is this a duplicate thread?

    Warranty VS no warranty

    Buy new and sell/trade in when the warranty is up if your having issues.

    Or if your a big baller like you say you are just pay to fix it. Who's to say your not going to have a major failure on the 2013

    If you want the 16 wait 2 months for the 17's to come out. You'll be buying a leftover 16, probably save a bit more off that $5500.
