    That wasn’t a compliment. Just like the last market peak, lots of younger folks driving high priced cars and living the dream life.
    Best of luck.

    Keep the truck you have, it’s a great truck. Switching vehicles between the loss on sale value of yours and taxes you can do a lot. Add in the additional money you’ll be spending and you can do even more

    So you joined this forum to tell us all that you have a “truck” You just bought and you’ve got so much money you don’t know what to do with it so you’re going to buy a more expensive car or truck .... sounds legit

    Have to agree. I feel the naturally aspirated motors sell better even though the turbos are more fun.

    Sounds like a manual pro would be a better fit. The pro will probably hold its value better in the long run, and you will still have something to haul your r6 around.

    I came from a 2012 STi into a new 2017 Tacoma. I don't miss the car. It's fast and fun to drive, but it's not comfortable at all. I drove it cross country and back and it was a back breaking 2500 miles each way. I'd say my opinion holds a bit of weight. You're better off buying an older model out of warranty and building it. It's every bit more expensive than a Tacoma, gas, brakes, broken shit. I had to replace a rack and pinion that cost $1800.

    Man so much HATE... The kid has money, rich parents or hardworking kid... Ether way why hate on him?

    Unfortunately man, coming to a Toyota Tacoma forum to get suggestions on trading a relatively new Tacoma in on another new more expensive Tacoma will get you hated on cause most of these bitter people can't afford to do what you are doing... I can't but I will try not to hate on you for being able to :thumbsup: They are also going to hate if you say you are trading the Tacoma away for something like an STI... The Subie forums may hate you less.. :burnrubber:

    In the end what do you want a 4x4 truck or a AWD sports car? That is 1000% apples and oranges. We can't decide that for you, but since this is a TACOMA Forum I voted for the TRD Pro :mudding:... Try www.NASIOC.com and see what they vote for (I owned a 2003 WRX for YEARS and was a NASIOC member back in WA and loved it!)

    Then he should trade that in for a real bike like a Ducati or MV Agusta or maybe even an Apprilia. I mean apparently he has a bottomless wallet

    Tacomaworld, IMO, is much more helpful than NASIOC is. The population is a bit more mature.
