Purchase Advice

I'm torn between two used Tacoma's that were traded at my buddy's lot.
1.) 2015 Tacoma TRD Pro
- Double cab, 4D, short bed, v6 4.0L, 4WD
- 71K miles
- ~$23,500

2.) 2016 Tacoma TRD Off-Road
- Double cab, 4D, short bed, v6 3.5L, 4WD
- 52,000 miles
- ~$26,500

 

2nd Gen for me

 

2015 all day. Cheaper is better in this world of debt. Plus it’s a 2nd gen which makes it the only option!

 

Test drive both. And if you do, test the 3rd Gen on inclines and hwy.
Having owned a 2nd and 3rd Gen, definitely the 2015 Pro.

 

I may be biased, but '15 TRD Pro all day long. Like others have said, if you really are giving the 3rd gen a chance, be sure and take a long test drive.
BTW that is a great price on the Pro. Out of curiosity, what color is the Pro? (They only came in white, black and Inferno).

 

‘15 Pro would be my choice, not being able to see each truck and evaluate their overall conditions.

Good luck.

 

2015 Pro.

 

2nd gen...end thread.

 

15

 

Forget the problem prone 16.

 

Go read the third gen forum. Look at all the whining and crying. You’ll be back. 2nd gen

 

Personally I try not to buy the first model year of any car.

Regardless I think the 2nd gen is the way to go.

 

which has best maintenance history if any ?

 

The last year of one generation always seems to be better than the first year of the next generation. In all vehicles l think

 

Go for the '15. They've worked most of the bugs out. Whereas the '16 is the new generation how many bugs have they yet to find, fix, or say we'll get it later?
That being said, I also believe that there is no replacement for good old displacement.

 

Go for the 2015
