I`m new and a convert.

Where to start ?
Want a Taco ...yes.
Access cab for hunting and fishing stuff dry...yes.
4x4 or 2 wheel drive....want but don't need. OK I want it.Why bother if you only use it 4 x a year.?
Automatic is a MUST! Almost ended in divorce trying to teach the wife.
5 or4 speed? MPG
My job takes me form 5 miles to 100 mile one way from the house.
BIG PROBLEM!
Here`s the nut
I want a 4x4 access cab .V-6.
What year ? I like the 2012
Budget up to 22k ?
Talked to a mechanic friend and asked ...what don't you work on?????
You got it ...Toyota.They hold there value and was considering new?????
Never bought a new car and dont see the need too.
Thats why I'm here..So many options.
Thanks for all the help, and love the sight.

 

Welcome!
Good luck in finding your dream truck.
Since they hold their value, a 2012 will cost almost as much as a new one. You can get better finance rates on new, and have the warranty etc. Just saying...

 

I keep considering getting a lightly used, and keep just getting a new one for the relatively small difference in price. But the trade in deals when upgrading are nice. They sure do hold their value!

 

Thanks for the replies.
4x4 is it for me. Why not have it for the mileage.
Like needing a gun and not having it.
Gotta start shopping again.
Just cant believe that for 5-8 K more you can go brand new???!!
Been driving a 97 Saturn for the last 7 tears..30 MPG.
Power windows and auto would be nice.Whats a CD player ?
Wife can keep the F150 4x4.She drives 14 miles a day.
Thanks for the insight.

 

It's 1 of those 4x a year that will get you killed. Just get the 4x4 IMO. Welcome!

 

compared to that Saturn your're going to take close to a 50% decrease on your mileage.

but, hey.

 

Gonna do it....
At least I have a place for moral support now.
Fingers are killing me from typing and decided I don't need back up cameras and all the bells and whistles. Just wanna make it my own.A piece at a time.
And TONS of info here.

 

Welcome to the forums, keep us updated!

 

lol Welcome! My car before this truck was a 97 Saturn. The gas mileage on a 4x4 is going to something of a shock from the Saturn.
