Taco for an F150 FX4 with 86k

I'm telling you bro if you really want to swap out for an F150 and come up on $10K you need to look for a private party one with slightly over 100k miles and a lot of recent maintenance. A lot of people hit that 100k mark and sink a bunch of $ into the truck then get rid of it because they think "man I just keep dumping money into this thing" but in reality they just prepped it for another 50k+ miles of relatively trouble free use. You should also be able to score one for $15k if its in the 100-120k range.

I almost never look at cars with 90k miles because that's usually when people who don't want to do major maintenance dump them.

 

look really really hard and you'll probably find another used F150 for sale

 

I don't know. Theyre like unicorns. I only found that one.

 

Such a disappointment for all.......

 

I know this thread is already aging but here's the first thing I noticed. You already know that your making a mistake, which is already a red flag. Now your just asking how substantial that mistake will be. Your obviously having second thoughts. Best case scenario, keep the Tacoma until your 100% sure you want to trade for it. The Tacoma will hold it's value while you decide.

 

Update:

OP traded for a 2001 Pontiac Aztec

 

And got $2500 cold hard cash.

 

I came out of a f-150 with the 5.0 (before that a 2nd gen Tacoma). I had my motor replaced after 3 weeks of owning it. Many of the 5.0s have bad blocks with oblong cylinders bores that create a bad knock at idle(Tons of threads on it in the ford forums). Ive been really happy with my 3rd gem, I'm glad I've went back to a small simple truck.

 

It's classy, and the turn signals are so subtle you don't even know they're there.

TFL actually did an off-road test on one of those in one of their recent videos.
