    Yeah the one things full size trucks suck at is fitting on trails. When Miguel and I went to the Hollister Hills SVRA, there was a whole gang of new Tundras that only went on the easy small trails because they couldn't fit on the other ones while we could.

    Its not even really that, a full sized would be fine for what I do.

    I have no real reason for sticking with Toyota

    Ah okay, that helps maybe 8k then. People love to hate the 4 banger, no one goes looking for one, they end up with one.

    I'd say reliability but you can see what happened with the third gen.

    Idk, low mileage sells quick around here. I see $10-12k all the time. Doesnt matter what engine, as long as its a 5 speed 4x4 with around 100k on it.

    Lol.

    I spent over a thousand dollars for 2" of lift. I dont go offroad, I only have the lift for looks. It was a financially stupid decision for a college kid. Couldve spent $200 for the 2" toytec spacer lift and been just as happy.

    Beyond the cruiser I'll have zero reason to buy another Toyota. Past the second gen they all seem like the same average crap designed to make it till the end of a warranty. Fine for the folks who buy new and sell and don't mind taking that hit all the time, but I can't bring myself to be that perpetually irresponsible.

    I'd say that's every car manufacturer now.

    i probably will have to for the all weather mats in the winter or moderate wheeling out in the forest
    not sure why i never got a different type of mat, was always happy with what i had because they were 100% heavy duty quality

    Exactly, so I'll buy something cheaper than a Toyota. Can get used american shit for pennies on the Toyota dollar. If theyre all gonna be a PITA there's no reason to spend the Toyota used premium too.

    i feel the same
    you don't think the new Corolla hatchback would last a good 25 years or more with proper care?

    What happened?


    The "problems" you hear about on here are being reported by people who nit pick over their truck and look for problems all because they get paranoid over what they read on here.

    I loved the third gen my dad had for a month. Couldnt find anything I was unhappy with that couldnt be solved with another package.
