    For sure! The Chippewa River was crazy low last weekend. I'm hoping it comes up a bit.

    I can’t believe I passed on one these a few months ago. My neighbor talked me out of it. The Tacoma value was $4k over what I paid. I was looking at the base model with manual. Oh well. 08B8FE15-E893-4BC4-BB7D-FC249F120B3D.jpg

    Can still get one, Tacoma market hasn't totally cooled off yet. But then you'd have a Ford....

    Even the Rangers are valued at around 4K over market value. The Broncos are holding more value than that. Plus the Bronco, does look cool. Yeah, you'd still have a Ford.

    Not that it translates into everyday reliability, Ford motors have won more off road races than Toyota motors.

    Those fender flares are still ugly. :p

    The 4 doors are ugly. I think the 2 doors look good aside from the fender flares and the headlights.

    :rofl:

    So true!

    I actually traded in my 2020 Ranger for my Tacoma haha :duh:
    It was fun to drive, pretty dang quick for a small truck, but at times just felt like I was driving a lifted Ford Fusion. Was driving through Kenosha and saw the Tacoma sitting on the lot and decided "Hey what the hell, the markets wild right now." They gave me 5k more than I paid new for the Ranger.

    I'm not a brand loyalist or fanboy by any means. There are definitely pros and cons to both vehicle, but at the moment i'm very happy with the Taco and plan on keeping it for many years.
