Emphasis on “great fit for us…” yeah, riiight.

 

They offered 42, I asked for 43. I had the 23 Limited packed and ready to go to the beach for the week. No time for hassles and drama.

I get the feeling the amount of letters, texts, and emails offering 'great trade-in deals' will turn into a deluge once the tariffs on all imports takes hold. They won't be able to move 6th gens once that happens - they already seem priced out of reach.

 

Between a 2019 Tacoma Sport Premium trade in and a hefty down payment, we only financed a small portion of the price of a new 2024 4R Pro for the missus.
Paid it off with some extra cash each month, and it was "ours" in 6 months.
Much easier to do that, now that the eaterbeasts are self-sustaining.
