Vehicles are very difficult to be money ahead on. :bash:

If it was a Dodge you could buy a new one every 100,000 miles.
Now you're stuck with a rig that won't quit........

Too bad it's a Toyota.

This is exactly why I have 2 Toyotas (01 Camry and '12 Corolla) and when/if I get a truck it will also be Toyota. :sry: to all the ford/dodge/gmc people but Toyota is where it's at for vehicles that last forever :).
Congrats!!

I've got a 2013 Taco that I've been thinking about selling and getting a new Raptor but all this talk about Toyota's lasting forever is making me rethink it. Hmmm.

To the OP, congrats on the new truck, nice looking setup especially with the matching canopy. I have a similar setup on my 13 Taco.FWIW my father in law has a 2016 f-150 lariat and loves it and still has an early 2000s f-150 he's driving to the ground, hasn't had many problems to my knowledge.

But IMHO that's the exception, not the rule for American made trucks. But hey I could be wrong that's just from what I've seen/heard

It's crazy how high the resale is on these used. One of the reasons I went new. Wasn't much difference + the interest on new for 4 years was only 1.99 %.That's part of it too!! Because everywhere selling used toyotas realize that a couple years old Toyota will last as long/longer than most other new trucks they can continue to sell them quite high in comparison to other trucks that lose value and fast

I do love it already. I've owned a couple with the 4.0 liter v6 and this 3.5 v6 is definitely different but I think it will work out just fine.
All of the reviews I have read everyone hates the 3.5 with the automatic. I'll be interested in how you like it.

Psssss .. Toyota is made in the USA too !!Thought you were mocking Toyota then looked it up. Camry and Sienna were 2 of the "most American cars" lost last year and ford wasn't on it at all :yike:

I have 373,000 miles on my 99 4runner 3.4L. It's still running strong and I don't see any quit in its future. It still has its original fuel pump and starter but I did finally have to do the alternator last year. I drive 40k miles a year and I'm going to drive it til it dies. Then I'm going to give it a refresh and do it all over again.I've got about the same miles on my 2003. 384K. V6. Would you rebuild or get a remanufactured? I'm starting to think how I might go about this. But for now I wouldn't hesitate to drive it across U.S.

Beautiful truck. I had been shopping for a used one and couldn't find anything within my range. We now have a new hot tub. The mileage is great but there's no tow package or FWD.Bet it's got more cupholders tho! :chuckle:
Nice ride OP.

I stepped out of a '15 TRD Sport into a '17 TRD Sport on Saturday. I was a little concerned after reading about the sluggish lower end of the 3.5. I was pleasantly surprised that although different "feeling" than the 4.0, the 3.5 drives very well and gets up to speed quickly. My pickup also came with a button that changes the shift points in the automatic transmission and makes the throttle very responsive. I may not be explaining that exactly right, but with that button on, I can tell you that there is a dramatic difference in your get-up-and-go.

How’s it been running?
I’ve been meaning to ask for a while and stumbled upon this looking through my old posts :)

Update?I too am curious to your review now that you have got some miles under your belt. I picked up an 18' in early Sept. The jury is still out on the 6 speed automatic. It likes to shift a lot... Other than that, I am looking forward to many trouble free miles.

I went looking for a used Tacoma and found that out. I ended up buying a Tundra for less money...just not at the pump! Very nice rig. Congratulations.
