thinkin bout trading 1st gen for 2nd gen soon

i think im gonna trade my 2002 pre-runner sr5 ext cab with 129,000 original miles for a 2nd gen soon. i just love that body style too much and loved all 4 of the ones my dad owned !

 

im the second owner and love it to death, but i've always loved the 2nd gen body and the extra room it offers. im also looking into the less superior 2005 frontier because they look VICIOUS lifted.

 

wouldn't really blame you for that HAHA. just dont know how much i could get for my stock tacoma

 

As long as you're upgrading (at least in your mind) you're good.

Try to privately sell it on Craigslist. And go as far west as possible. Resale in California and Arizona for first gens are ridiculous.

 

You from beech creek in NC?

 

Can confirm: My Tacoma gets a note stuck underneath the windshield wiper at least every other month asking if I wanted to sell it. The market for trucks in the SF Bay in insane. There's a dealership by my house dedicated to selling those completely OP lifted 'luxury' Ford F150's.

 

No offense man, but you might want rethink your logic. That is a lame reason to base a financial decision on.

 

You're prepared to lose all forward visibility below eye level, right?
That's been the hardest thing for me since swapping my '01 for a '15. Can't see over the durn hood.

 

Don't do it man....don't do it.

 

you have to do what makes you feel good otherwise you will just keep questioning yourself. I switched to a second gen and was alright for a bit (6 months) then I ended up picking up another first gen so now I have both for the moment. I should have just stuck with the first gen as I would be in the same place I started but with more money. Good luck on what ever you decide to do.

 

He'll be dead one day. At least he'll have the truck he wanted while alive.

 

He'll be back in a first gen before too long, they always come back sooner or later. We will await your comeback with open arms......









and maybe some hazing.

 

I went from a first gen DCSB to a second gen DCSB because I needed more room due to a baby. Loved the first gen, but don't regret it at all, and the 2nd gens 5spd auto is more ideal the the 1st gen 4spd. However, the first gen is definitely more ideal on the tight mountain trails.

 

i drove my fathers multiple times and never had a problem with that at all.
