Why no Prerunners in the northeast? Will their be a 2016 RWD?

My truck is 13 years old with 150k and doesn't have any 4x4 problems.

 

It must not be a Toyota. ... He said all they have is problems...

 

I'm in the upper northwest and the same thing is true here, 2WD trucks do not sell to the general consumer very well at all. The only Tacomas I see in that configuration are the 5 lug trucks bought by companies for fleet work. My local CarQuest auto parts has two of them used for deliveries around town for example, but I have yet to see one used for a personal vehicle.

I do see PreRunners from time to time on used lots, but 9 times out of 10 they come from other states. Most used car lots/dealers wont even take 2WD trucks or will give you a shitty trade in on one because they just don't sell worth a damn here.

 

Seriously though, how is 4WD more maintenance? If you don't abuse it and use it properly, it wont be an extra cost to you other than lower gas mileage from the added weight.

 

From Boston area by any chance?

We are Brothers of the Northeast! Most definitely.

Maybe he's a time traveller and went ahead of time a couple years and saw how successful the 3rd gen turned out to be?

 

This I had to fight to get $16k for my my trade on my 2008 pre runner dlbcb trd sport for my 2011 when I got stationed here. They kept telling me it was worthless to them since this is the NE and it's 2wd, guess they were wrong since it was on the lot no more than 2 weeks.

 

Haha sorry, I was thinking New England. It is in the northeast.

 

Is it even a Tacoma if its not 4WD?

 

4x4 overrated.... that's right I said it.

 

funny the difference geography makes... I just bought a 15 prerunner 2wd TRD Sport and since I live in Florida... there was only 1! 4WD Taco on the lot... all 2wd-SR5 other then the one I scored. I also think they are shrinking inventory in anticipation of the "coveted by some" 16

 

That's just what they do to get people to go down on the trade in value. It's the oldest negotiating tactic in the book - find something about the vehicle and say no one will want it.

 

Why is there no lumberjacks in the city ?

 

Thats what I figured,wasn't my first rodeo, think I did alright since the first trade in offer was 13k. And my response was pretty much GFYS.
