For what you paid you could've gotten a fullsize

Think he was generalizing as in for close too. Lol. We both know come 6 months you'll be telling us goodbye here and showing us your Starbucks Raptor.

 

I didn't want a full size as its too big for day to day driving in the city.
If I had the choice, I would have bought a Hilux over the Tacoma.

 

Well $9k isn't a chunk of change

 

Starbucks Raptor? lol. that's about right, around here at least.

 

After owning and being really into the forced induction scene. It baffles me that some big players are going that route. You're never going to have high rate of reliable vehicles make it past 150k.

Everyone will see as more and more eco boosts get to those marks.

 

Turbos and Superchargers are awesome, but I've stayed away because this was my concern. Diesels tend to be reliable past that point, but when they do fail, they are expensive to repair. Not sure the gas forced induction units are as reliable/heavy duty as the diesel units.

 

I have a Starbucks Pro
So a Starbucks Raptor is the truth

I am not a pretender like most bro on this forum who take their ko2 and RTT to the mall to show how they are "overlanders"

I use my trucks like people use their s550

 

S550 can't get over some of those Sbux drive-thru curbs though.....

 

With the way the Koreans and Armenians here have curbed wheels on their s550, panamera, teslas, and fiskers, it is apparent they are trying !!!

 

Nah, those Glendale Brros and Ajuma's can't drive....

 

More like $6k man.

 

41k paid for my Pro
49k you said

So I guess it's 8k

To me going from TRD OR to pRo was $8300 difference

16k difference from OR to Raptor is a lot of money for me

 

I was in a 16 CrewMax Tundra before my 17 Taco. I love the interior space of the Tundra, but the MPGs, parking limitations, off road limitations and such made it very impractical for me. That's why I switched to a Taco. More practical, efficient, and I don't have to worry about being too big of a lumbering giant to go anywhere.

 

You have a stick, the auto pro is $42k can't compare stick pro to auto raptor, so $42k to $48k, technically.

But its worth it. You won't be driving a punk kid truck no more, move up in status symbol.

 

I test drove a Trd off road tundra crew max and these are the reasons I went 4Runner. I really like a full size truck, but the practicality of a midsize is hard to overlook now that I own a couple.

 

COTD material right here!

 

It is simple math here... the Tacoma will hold it's value. They are selling 3-4 year old TRDs with over 100,000km for 10k under what a new one cost. It's crazy.

Full size around here are a dime a dozen... resale is awful.

 

Agreed, unless its a raptor...lol. But that wasn't the original discussion.

 

Yup. I went from a 2014 4Runner Trail to 2016 Tundra CrewMax Limited to now my 2017 Taco. I missed lots of off roading trips because of how big my tundra was. It wouldn't fit in most spots around me.

 

I went from a 2013 F150 Crew King Ranch - and I'm loving my 2016 Tacoma. Size is great and I feel it is more maneuverable. MPG are a plus as well.
