    I did ask and he said he wants a tundra. He even said his price is based off a dealer trade in value... sounds like a good story. But I guess I would never really know why. (I asked about flooding and all that too)

    And if I had an issue come up I would guess Toyota would be there to fix it... I hope.
    But I thought the 3rd gen had improoved engine, cabin etc?
    And even if I look for 2013,14,15... still like $28-33k.... but up to 60,000 miles... it's like I'm being forced to sway towards a new one. I wish I could find a 13-15 that's less than new and not many miles...

    Yes sir, drove 2 2017's and then my 2016 that I ended up buying. Both 17's felt very sluggish and one of the 17's was slow to change gears.

    I couldn't believe there was that much difference in the 3. My 2016 felt like I was driving my 2015. @Taco-tree

    :anonymous: Not me... lol

    But I agree- with you scottalot that maybe it isn't what he's representing.

    But a call/trip to the dealership should see what history he's had with it.

    That's interesting that everyone is getting different experiences with diffeeent models and years... maybe it's the color differences... haha.

    Trans issues... that doesn't sound like a Toyota.... that's why I would be spending all this money... (for the 200k reliability and off-road).
    I like my Subaru now- but it's time for a truck for yard work, towing, and more off road ability.

    I test drove a 2015 and decided to wait for the 2016s for the new tech. After test driving the 2016 I ended up test driving and buying a used 2015. It just felt like a stronger truck.

    Interesting- I'll have to try a 2nd and 3rd gen I guess. Maybe I'll see a difference too.
    Also- EricL- I've wondered, what does prerunner signify on the tacomas? (I seee you have one)

    Haha Prerunner is the 2wd. I made the mistake of buying one and kept it a year, then traded for my 16 TRD OR 4x4

    Ive lasted nearly a year on TW and over a year with my truck. Still driving a Prerunner. Your peer pressure hasn't worn me down... Yet.
