Thinking of buying a 21 tacoma

100000000000%. Ive been dealing w my own issue for the past 16 months, and 3 doctors fucked me. All said to do the same thing with a medication i was taking. I listened and ended up in the hospital. 5th doc said the fiest 3 were droopy eyed armless children and to do "x" with the med. Fixed it. And ill be off the med soon under his guidance. Fucking doctors.

 

Thank you guys for all the input.

 

Compared to a RAM, hell ya!

 

The Tacoma is probably better than a Ram. Have you considered a Ranger? Those trucks ride smooth, I couldn't tell you what the Ranger is liks long term.

 

If it were me, I would keep a close eye on the 2022 frontier if interested in a midrange. Tacoma is by far the best looking, and frontier recognized this and copied the shit out of its front. But the hp is like +30 more, more refined engine, better torque. And it may clock in a bit cheaper

That being said, I love my 2021 I bought in June this year. I will say one mod that greatly increases the fun factor is getting the KDMAX tune on the engine cpu

 

the ecoboost sucks long term my only debate is it worth a lot more (13k extra) to pay for a tacoma

 

You would expect the Tacoma or any Toyota to out live an ecoboost equipped vehicle, but that don't mean it will. 13k more for the Tacoma? I would wait for prices to level out, if that has any impact on the difference. If prices remain inflated, at least the inflated prices will be the norm.

 

Just to be clear and make sure I am not misunderstanding......what you are saying is the deal they are offering you for the Taco is your trade plus $13,000, not that a new Taco is $13,000 more than a new Ram. Trading in a two year old vehicle for a new vehicle will always have a cost attached. A more honest comparison would be how much would it cost to trade for a new Ram vs a new Taco. That would tell you how much more (or less) you're paying for the Taco. The other thing we don't know since the Ram is only 2 years old is how much, if any, of that $13k is negative equity on the trade. That will skew the numbers if there is.

 

So i bought a v6 ram 1500 in jan 2020 it was brand new 2019 model for 35k CAD out the door, now it has 29000km on it the Toyota dealer offered me 34k. So the total cost for the new taco is my trade in plus 13k and i am out the door with a brand new taco. Big reason i want to switch is i want a truck to last 15 years

 

@zoo truck
Going plant based diet, have been for the last 6 weeks or so. It ain't so bad at all and I feel a bit better already. It's all about what we eat.

Whole Milk = 25% fat.. Oat Milk = 0% fat and it's not that different.

Stress test results will be revealed on Tuesday. I do know that my 'Calcium Score' was out of this world high. Anything over 300 is severe and
mine was triple that... but after looking back at how I ate, there is no surprise... butter by the half stick, whole milk, ice cream, cake, BBQ,
steaks, ribs, burgers, fries....

I'm tellin anyone who will listen go plant-based at least 25% and start now and when you get older you won't have to do it 100%...

Right now I'm just on statins and I'm taking those without issue. Doctor gave me a prescription last week and for $10 I got it filled
but when I googled and read up on this stuff I'm like no way. It's the kind of crap you take and it can make things better but it can
also make things way worse PLUS getting off of the medicine is dangerous. I hate taking pills anyway.
