What do you think 2016 for 2019

do you boo, at 60 you’ve got less time than many here. do whatever makes you happy, fuck the rest. no one here pays your bills.

 

I just like to mod and make it better than oem which is not hard to do at reduced savings.
Plus you get to know your truck.

 

This thread has nothing to do with you or the mods you like. OP made it clear what we wants and asked for advice.

Reduced savings? You don’t like to save money?

 

7k for the same truck in a different color is a gigantic waste of money, pure and simple. C'mon now, how are you even considering this.

If you really have to do this because you feel bad, then so be it. Go do it and don't look back and the sun will still come up and the earth will still be round, etc. But it's a stupid way to light your money on fire.

 

Holey fuck-balls, some of these threads sure do get derailed...

 

I am about an hour from Tahoe and usually get a season pass for Northstar. I don’t live in the snow, but I drive in it often enough.

 

Thank you for all your input, it helped put in perspective I looked at a SR5 they are willing to give me 25500 for my SR up grades are wheels, body molding, privacy glass, up graded radio, active cruse control, fog lites, collision avoidance, and power rear window, along with 38000 less miles the sticker is 36,033 -1000 rebate but an trade the want to take back a 1000 dealer discount. if its goes back on the table possible good deal.

 

You should be able to get the SR5 down to 30-31k before TTL with that rebate.

 

What would I be missing waiting for the 2020.

 

TTL would be close to 9000 out of pocket. very, do able but do I want to. have the 19's had less transmission problems my 16 was a qt low, drive shaft never greased from factory

 

Just a thought, what if you sold the 16 outright and then purchase a 19, that could save you maybe another $4-5k. Unless this 19 is just something special to you, I would guess that there will another one out there.

As I get older, I love brighter headlights when driving at night, I believe that a 2020 SR5 will get you LED headlights, someone please correct this if I am wrong.

As said before, it’s your life and your money, so do what feels right.

 

Wrong, they will just keep selling them at record numbers.

This is the right take. You think this forum is representative of the average Tacoma buyer? Lolz.

 

I just traded my '16 a few weeks ago for a '19. Went from a TRD Sport 4x4 DCLB to a TRD Off Road AC. I've been contemplating on trading for some time and finally pulled the trigger. My main reason was to get the Access Cab since I didn't really need the Double Cab and gives me a little more room in my garage too. I pulled all my mods off and had the dealership swap back to the OEM wheels because I was running the stock rubber with aftermarket wheels.

As for the transmission, my '19 drives a lot better than my '16. Never got the 2nd TSB done on my '16 so I don't know if that's why my '19 feels better. I had the dealership check the transmission fluid before I took it home (they kept it over the weekend) and fluid checked fine. I don't like that it said "Inspected transmission fluid level, okay at this time" on the service ticket so I might check it myself down or try to get it checked at another dealership. The driveshaft on my '19 was greased, but there's only the front zerks now, the rear is sealed. I still have to check my diffs and transfer case because those were a little low on my '16.

I haven't been keeping up and only found out about the '20 about a week and a half ago. If I would've known, I would've waited, but I still have no regrets.

 

I traded a black 14 GMC Sierra 55k miles on my 17 Tacoma . Cost me $10,700 . I'm fine with the deal . 2 main reasons i traded it was out of warranty and it was black .

 

Well I did the deal to and had the same experience. That being said I had both TSB's done the truck I got was another SR most of the stuff people mentioned on the 20's have are on the higher trims. My new one wasn't in for a trip to Arkansas, so I put an extra 3400miles on it. Through the hills I noticed the trans completely disengage going down some of the steep roads in the back roads and had a normal vibration in the drive shaft, both were low and dry for the 1st 2500 miles biggest reason was trans issues I was experiencing when entering interstates I was noticing considerable slippage that was determined "normal" 3xs .

 

Not everyone has the same 'needs' as you do.

Some of us do just fine with a totally stock truck. Mine only has 5 lugs and yet it manages to do everything I want it to.

 

Where are the pictures of your new truck? Congrats!
