TACOMA BEST EVER NOVEMBER SALES ! Blistering !

Something to keep in mind, per Jeep's own market research, the average Wrangler owner keeps their vehicle for only 38 months. The average for all vehicles is 71 months.

21.4% of Tacoma owners keep their trucks over 10 years - one of the highest rates of ownership retention.

2.6% of Tacomas make it 200K miles. More than double the average for all cars. The Wrangler is not on ANY of these lists.

The Wrangler, however does crack the Top 10 in one category: Top 10 Models with the Highest Safety Complaints. The Wrangler is 4th.

I've owned two wranglers. They have a potent siren song.....the marketing and appeal can overcome common sense. It's never been a sensible platform and it's not one that's easy to live with. It's a niche car, a statement car and for a dedicated few - a real tool for going offroad. It is not a commuter, its not good on long trips and they even make a shitty grocery getter.

After the JKU I told myself I won't buy another one, but even after having two experiences with them and swearing off of them, I still get drawn in any the hype.

 

From link...

 

These numbers are gonna be skewed imo, where I live (not sure about midwest and east coast) there are a metric fuckton of Wrangler rental cars. People love to rent Wranglers. I've not once seen a Tacoma rental car.

 

The "mid-size" rentals I've seen are Frontiers, they probably get a pretty good deal on those.

 

Chevy must have been modeling after Mack trucks.

 

I spent two months this summer in a 18 Tacoma double cab sr5 that was from hertz while my Tundra was getting a new frame

 

I had a '94 Ranger with the 4.0 V6, made it to 242,000 before I donated it in 2013. Saw it on the road a year or two ago. Will it ever die?

Every fluid either burned or leaked, everything was rusted to hell and I lost both the clutch and transmission around 175k, but otherwise it was solid. Cheap and relatively simple to fix. I'm sure the new Ranger will be nothing like that.

 

Here in the southeast where I live there are a ton of Jeep Wranglers. I see at least 3 or 4 everyday on my way to work and most of them are being driven by girls

 

Is this surprising? I’ll answer no it’s not. Like mentioned the Ranger will settle in quickly right to 2nd place and keep pushing if the market is there for it which seems to be the case. A new Ranger in 2 years (which is the word on the street) and probably when the Ranger Raptor will roll out as well in America is when the real push for 1st would start. A lil competition is better for everyone

 

You’re joking right. Automobiles are more than ever a fashion statement. The Tacoma is not exempt from this either.

 

Reasons I bought my Tacoma
1) Favourite looking truck on the market
2) same as 1

*Bonus* it is the most reliable truck on the market! Resale is sweet too but don’t plan on ever selling! Lol

 

I had a BMW Z3 once, and had a transmission failure that was replicated. BMW authorized a replacement and shipped mine to Germany for the engineers to look into it. I did not understand at the time, that some things don't fail, and when they do it is an oppty to improve.

 

I still can’t tell the difference between the “New” ranger and a 2006 F150.

Seriously guys......they had some frames left over and needed to get rid of them.

 

Damn! What’s old is new again

 

Looks like a ridgeline. Not good imo.

LOL, vehicles are fashion statements?? I guess your right - look at the silly shit folks do to there trucks in this forum (acked up 2wd for showing off, space lift for looks, plasti-derp, 20"+ wheels, you know useless crap to)
