Should I trade my second Generation Taco

jakduke[OP] initial post: ↑

I bought a 2015 Super white Taco last year. It is my fourth Toyota Truck. It has 6000 miles on it. i paid $25,800 for it. It is a Prerunner SR5 model.

I was looking at a 2016 metallic silver TRD Sport and the dealer offered me $25,800 trade in for my truck and the brand new truck for $30,200. Seems like a killer deal. $4400 difference.

I have had Toyota Trucks for about 15 years and the 2016 seems very very slow to accelerate compared to every other one I have had. I drove it today in the city and highway and it is a whole different truck. I could mash the gas to the floor and let off quickly and the RPM gauge did not budge.

I watched a couple of guys drag racing all three generations and the 2016 always finished last. The second generation was the obvious winner of that. Not knocking the truck because I really like every other aspect of it. the dealer told me this is a common complaint and you eventually "learn to drive it".

My question is, should I trade? I have a super white and it is less than a year old and the paint is drying out. I have waxed it and the dealer has waxed it twice. That is why I am looking to get a new one based on the history of the super white paint problems that people are having. The dealer and service department also told me that the super white and the desert tan are the only colors that they do not clear coat and it is obvious when you compare it to the metallic paints.

Do I trade my peppy 2015 with crap paint for the sluggish sexy 2016 TRD Sport that is great on gas?

BTW, My truck is paid for so I would be picking up a new bill.

Or you clearly can't read or choose not to as such is not the case. But keep on assuming and going about your agenda.

I have addressed it publically with a mod and not behind your back. I would not do that behind your back. It is my opinion and others have said too.

There is a trend in the 3rd Gen section, the trend that I see is 2nd Gen owners constantly troll the 3rd Gen section sometimes by 1st Gen owners but what I mainly notice is 2nd Gen owners, but very seldom do you see a 3rd Gen owner troll the 2nd Gen section.

Why is this happening ?
Mad because Toyota came out with a new Taco ? I don`t know.
3rd Gen has more Hp ? I don`t know.
Jealousy ? I don`t know.

Regardless of the reason, it`s childish.

But the below thread seems to be being ignored by many.

From some of what we've seen. If someone doesn't have a 3rd gen there's the assumption they are here to troll the 3rd gen section. It's not always the case but more often than not it is. We can't count how many reported posts we get that are legitimate and the report is "doesn't own a 3rd gen and they don't belong, get this troll out of here". It's a two way street.

A lot of members here in the 3rd gen section are relatively new to TW and aren't overly familiar with the atmosphere of TW and how people interact. I can only surmise that they've been on other forums where stuff like this isn't tolerated but TW is pretty damn open and we don't tell people where they can and can't post.

Why can't anyone play nicely in the sandbox together? Most here want to provide useful input, but someone misinterprets it, and it gets all twisted. If you're hungry, grab a Snickers. You're not you when you're hungry.
