New member, own a 2002 and want to upgrade to newer

New to this forum. Have owned a 2002 Tacoma for about 8 years. Still only has 80,000 miles. Am looking to sell or trade in on a newer model that is a 4 door. We now have 4 grandkids and want to be able to have car seats in the back seat when we take them camping in our pop up trailer. I am just starting to look and shop. It seems that in the recent years the body has become a bit bigger. Is that true? Also wondering if the size of the engine has changed over the years.

Thanks

Welcome Chuck.

Yes, the 2nd and 3rd gens have larger bodies and engines.

 

Welcome to TW. I went from a 2004, which is the same size as your 2002, to the 2016 which is basically the same size since 2005. It feels much bigger than my 2004 and takes getting used to but it's still not a behemoth like the full size trucks. You should have no problem selling your 2002 for top $ with 80k miles. Use NADA not KBB to set your price.

 

So I did end up getting a 2013 Tacoma and sold my 2002. Love the new truck!

 

Congratulations on the new truck.

 

Nice

 

Congrats on the new truck, nice looking ride

 

Nice truck bud,

That TSS Edition is rare here on the lower East coast. I love those wheels man.
