Hi all,
I recently totaled my sedan after hitting an armadillo in the north GA mountains. Due to prior issues with my sedan I have decided to move on to a truck. Needless to say, some searching led me to the Toyota Tacoma.
This brings me here, I am hoping to get some insight on the best way to find a good deal on them. For some reason my insurance rates (with USAA) are the same for a 2019 and a 2013 Tacoma SR5/TRD. However, every year in between presents a ridiculous curve to 3-400 more expensive per 6 months. What are your opinions on this? (go for 2013 or spend a couple extra for the 2019)
2013's are also much harder to find in the used market with less than 100k miles(although I know it'll run for an unprecedented amount of time).
I'd much rather have a 4x4 than a 2x4 as well.
Lastly, I would like to think that I'll enjoy going on trails or overlanding but am unsure if I really will (since I've never had the opportunity to do so).

Any and all advice is appreciated.
Thanks!

Alright Everyone!
Last week i found the one.
I ended up with a 2016 "Qicksand" TRD O/R with the nice premium package (sunroof, dual climate, etc..) I got it from a private seller with about 84k mi. on it and finagled the price to below 25k... Hopefully we all agree it was a good deal. It came with a Thule Roofrack, Bed Extender, and the Tri-fold Tonn. cover as well. I did my first mod (not really a mod imo, i just did the tailgate letters haha.
Thank you all for your advice and help!
also Im in Woodstock, GA and I am itching for adventure with it so if anyone knows any trails or service roads or whatever around the area that a beginner should be able to tackle please let me know!
