Talk me out of a Tundra

Unless you live in an area where all the old-timer retirees who finally splurged on a big truck or home contractor "business owners" are trying to outdo each other with the latest F150/F250, Silverado, or Ram is factoring into the decision... (welcome to Northern NJ), the Tacoma size is plenty of truck. One really needs to be at the home center multiple times in a week purchasing 4'x8' sheets for a large worktruck to be justified. Otherwise it really is just a splurge to have a bigger vehicle than most others.

 

So they don't just want a big truck for themselves. They're doing it only to impress others ???

 

Looks brand new still ... congrats !

 

thanks! Only 125k miles and in better shape than my Tacoma , and I treated the Tacoma like my first born !

 

The wife or the dog?

 

I'm in a similar situation, I'm wanting a tundra, but I think a sequoia would be a better choice for me. I only have one kid but want more. Pretty much a tundra but a SUV version.

 

My wife have always hinted me to upgrade to a Tundra but not being able to fit comfortably in the garage like my Tacoma along with having no truck payments usually nixed that idea. I would try a different approach and convince her to buy one for herself. Then you can reap the rewards of driving both Tacoma and Tundra.

 

Well, no talking me out of it. After the salesman didn't respond for a few weeks, I contacted his manager. They accepted my (low) offer, and also my trade allowance was appropriate. I actually felt guilty as I feel like I stole it. Clayed, waxed, cleaned, steps, oil change, used tonneau for now, and adding my own touches. I am very happy, although I was a bit hesitant. MPG on the first tank was EXACTLY what I was getting in the Taco, 15.6. And I gotta a atta boy from the wifey on Saturday, as she had a chance to drive it. Looking forward to towing with it, and removing some of the chrome...

 

Nice MGM

 

That was the other bonus, I absolutely love this color!!
