2001 Ford Ranger

 

2GR equipped 2012 AWD RAV4 base. Damn good little SUV (not my pic):



2GR-FE 3.5 269 HP, 248 lbs/ft. ~700 lbs less than my taco.

 

1998 Chevrolet C2500HD - I still have this truck but it won't be driven as much, and I'm going to rebuild the entire thing soon.

2001 Mazda Protege MP3 1 of 1000 made in this color. I loved this car and got into a good amount of trouble in this car.

 

03 V8 4runner. 3" lift 285/65r18

 

Flat out junk!, biggest piece of shit I ever even heard of. Head replaced at 300 miles, roof leaked from day one, never even took the tops off, transmission replaced at 1300 miles, head replaced again at 1700 miles, every single airbag deployed while sitting in my garage, at 2am, 2100 miles, front brakes replaced at 3200 miles, head went again at 4200 miles, Chrysler bought back at 4500 miles. Never, ever again will I buy a Chrysler product. JUNK!

 

Hope you kept this one around and didnt sell it. This is the kind of truck you think back on in 30 years wishing you held onto it.

 

Big difference.


Went from a 2000 Cherokee. 4 cyl, 2 wheel drive. Manual Trans, windows, locks, everything. Base base base model. Wish I could have kept her. 150,000 and could probably go for another 150,000. Everything worked perfect. Kid in the neighborhood needed a car so I let it go for a steal.

 

'05 Ram SRW 3500 with 35's - Put on 70k miles through college and post-college without a hiccup and got me into all sorts of trouble. I miss the turbo spool.
'10 Taurus SHO - Put almost 25k miles on in the year I had it. Fully loaded and was an absolute blast to drive, perfect cruiser car.
'17 TRD OR - Bought cause I missed having a truck, but my short commute would kill a diesel engine.

 

I had two cars: a 2014 Volvo S60 (T6 with most options). Great car. Had it for 65k miles and never any issues.

Also had a 2016 M3 6MT. Did a euro delivery on it. Put about 16k miles on it, then sold it to a BMW dealer for a very marginal loss (ended up costing me $375/mo.)

Last year I relocated and my commute shortened to 8 minutes, so 2 cars was tough to justify. Also wanted something to go camping and tow the jet ski.

 

2016 Ram 1500 Sport

 

Trading in my 2nd gen taco today for a 3rd gen. Bittersweet but the time has come.

 

It was literally a ride:



Four years with just two bikes and the Wife's car. The Fam played along well to make it work while it lasted. Too damn unreliable though. It's called a RPoS for a reason.

 

Traded a gas hog and a gas sipper for my Tacoma as a great second vehicle instead of having 3 vehicles .

 

We had a 2014 Sentra SR, until some dummy texting & driving rammed the back of it and consequently (or luckily) totaled it...bent the frame up pretty good. When we started shopping for new vehicles, she said "it had to be a truck". So, along came the Tacoma. Here it is at the dealership at delivery. Loving it every single day.

 

Great car, traded for no other reason than 'I want a truck.'

 

Wow, I wonder how many of those M3 Sedan manuals are in the US

 

Not my picture of the 94 (didn't have a digital camera), but this is similar.


The 1st gen



The 2nd gen.



Saying goodbye.

 

How much did the dealership offer you for your trade? If you don't mind my asking
