Trade my 2015 F-150 Platinum for 2018 Cement TRD OR?

Any idea what that will cost? Also, has anyone dropped a Tundra crate engine in a 3rd gen?

 

Lol! Thanks I was proud of myself. Even told my Dad what this 33 year old just did, lol. I know my truck is worth at least $33k trade and $34-36k private party here (only 12k miles and immaculate). And like you mentioned, I just can't stomach bigger payments even for a badass new Jeep, plus I just am a Taco guy, keep coming back to them and in the end its just a vehicle, tired of payments and need to start being smarter with my money or gonna pay for it later in life.

 

Yeah I began reading on it, but pretty curious on the price range set for it

 

You sir are officially all grown up now. Good job!

 

I’d certainly consider it.

 

How do u figure ?

 

Plus I start grad school / fake med school (OT DPD) next year so gotta get ready for that. By the way congrats on your Daughter's acceptance.

 

I merge. I drive in Phoenix, Vegas and Los Angeles. I have been to Albuquerque, Needles, lol Needles, and even Durango Colorado, Silverton too. It will get Ya there and back. If not call me, and the Blue Taco will pick Ya up.

 

Read up on the Rubicon. Front and Rear locking diff, sway bar disconnect, 33''s stock, etc. Stock for Stock it'll put a Tacoma to shame offroad.

 

I agree, but it's a bit less than the old 4.0, takes some getting used to especially before the TSB update.

 

Agreed, I usually take the Wife's X3 for the city stuff...

 

How about arrival date on it too? Any estimates thrown out there?

 

Not to mention driving in snow...that friggin X3 in the snow, under 6 inches, is not beatable.

 

I havent had the chance to test my stock OR in the snow yet, next year when I move back to IL, apprehensive about the stock goodyears.

 

I does as expected, it will get Ya there with some caution.

 

Lol. Can't wait.

 

I traded a 2014 Tundra TRD 4x4 Crewmax for a 2018 Tacoma DCSB OR. I'd honestly be happy in either truck. I don't regret my decision, but I probably wouldn't have regretted keeping the Tundra either.

Tundra pros: torque, reliability, tons of interior space (think child carseats and road trips)

Tundra cons: 13.9 mpg, small parking spaces at work, hated having a black truck

Tacoma pros: 19mpg, reliability, Cement color, slightly better aftermarket support, easier to park at work

Tacoma cons: under-powered engine resulting in a tranny that hunts for the optimal gear, fitting two carseats in the back can be a challenge.

If the Tacoma had an extra 30-40 ft/lbs of torque and an extra 2-3 inches of rear legroom, it would be the perfect truck.

 

Haven’t heard but would be interested to know more for sure.

 

Ok this is the internet so i'll believe you.

 

Snow Bunny!
