Thinking about trading my 05 Tacoma for a 09.

Discussion in '2nd Gen. Tacomas (2005-2015)' started by genxer36, Oct 22, 2008.

Which Tacoma? Keep the 2005 or get the 2009

  1. Go with the 2009 Tacoma

    56.5%
  2. Stay with the 2005 Tacoma

    43.5%

    I'm on the fence. Do I move to a new truck or keep mine. I have 97,500 miles on my 05. I wanted to hear opinions.

    I may switch from a 05 4x2 DC to a 09 4x2 DC.

    Thanks for everyones help!

    If you switch, keep those Enekies! I love your wheels.

    If you can afford it, go for it. Who doesn't want a new truck? I finally hit 32K miles on my '05 this afternoon, lol.

    Thanks.
    TRD is a bit pricey for a street truck. But a backup camera would be nice for hooking up my boat.

    Oh part of the deal will be keeping the wheels. I told them that. I'm using carsdirect to find me a deal.

    Man I wish I had 32k on my truck.

    I'd do it but I don't keep vehicles for more than 3 years. This one MIGHT be different but that remains to be seen.

    Maybe go for the TRD Sport if you're planning on keeping it on the street?

    I'd wait until it's paid off, drive it for one year with no payments.

    By the time it is paid off, I estimate I will have about 160k miles on it.

    Whats wrong with that? Shouldn't have a problem putting 200K on it. You can be sure you got your money's worth also.
