    The purpose for a new vehicle is a want not a need. 13 years of driving same truck makes me want something new. That being said it been such a damn good truck and I am still proud of it.

    think I will just add some new mods and keep it.

    I was thinking.
    New exhaust
    New headlights
    New rear swing gate bumper
    Also think some bronze Canadian flags might look nice on the front fenders
    Annnnndddd… a new stereo. My current one is smashed.

    An extra $3K a month is a good problem to have...I'd run the tacoma until she dies and buy a new shiny vette for the wife

    I’d take that 3k month and travel. Make some good memories to take with you before life is over. That exactly where me and my wife are, debt free young in life, both 54. Spend, give some, make some differences where we can.

    Thanks everyone.... got some thinking to do. Leaning towards just keeping it. Went and looked at the new Colorado tonight and looked back at my truck........... she's been too good to me :(. I think I will probably just get some new headlight, exhaust and see who lasts longer................... the Tacoma or me :)

    Once mine is paid off, I want a project car. Probably an old school Nova.
