    Traded her in for a F150 STX with the 2.7 Ecoboost. An amazing truck at 31k and it gets better mileage than the Tacoma. I am averaging 22 on the screen so far and haven't hand calculated but damn..... My leaf springs started squeaking real bad and the dealership ordered the wrong parts twice. I have had this truck in the shop for more reasons than any other vehicle I have ever owned and was fed up. The truck did keep it's value and they offered me 3k less than what I bought it for two years ago which is amazing. Y'all take care and thanks for the help.

    Nice looking truck, co-worker has one with the v8.

    An old Irish blessing:
    May the road rise up to meet you,
    May the wind be always at your back,
    May your turbos never fail.

    I would rather have a half broken Taco with fixable issues than a Ford but it’s your choice though. Best of luck.

    I’m about to sell my 17. It’s only a year old and the longer I have it the worse it drives. The engine sounds like rattling metal when I hit the gas it’s so loud. The dealer said it’s normal. The tranny is absolute trash. Anyways best of luck! I dig the 150.

    Mine's gone as soon as the right Wrangler comes around. Most disappointing vehicle I've ever owned. Hope the Ford treats you right, and hope the value on mine does as well as yours.

    I have an ‘18 off-road with 3k miles on it. I would absolutely love to get rid of the truck.

    Good for you! You got a more spacious truck that can haul more, tow more, gets better MPG's, was cheaper, and can never rust...bravo!

    The Tacoma is a fine vehicle but it's cramped, has atrocious fuel economy and is now no more reliable than domestic vehicles

    Wow surprised of the lack of Butt Hurt. Really surprised to see how many want to get rid of their 3rd gens

    That being said I’m looking to get rid of mine but still owe a little too much on it I think. Maybe next year
