Another Toyota vote here. Been in the car biz for 35+ years and wont own anything else. (and oddly enough never worked at or owned a Toyota store,lol) Just last week had a customer basically force me to sell them my personal Tacoma crew . He had been looking for a nice used one and went to buy 3 different ones and they all got sold before he got there. He saw mine sitting in the garage here at the store and convinced me to sell it. 2011 TRD Sport crew with 106k and got $24,000 out of it. It did have a small 3" lift and some XD wheels with Nitto G2's.
My issue was that even in the biz, I havent been able to find a good replacement.Looking for a loaded '16 or '17 to get the new engine and body style but couldnt find anything under $37,000!!! Called my friend who owns a local Toyota store and he invoiced me a new 17 crew,trd sport, Nav,JBL, roof and heated seats,blah blah blah at 38,000. Even threw in a TRD Pro grille. Just a story to show the unbelievable resale values of Tacomas.
My son in law and daughter have a Tundra with the 5.7 and haul a 37' Toyhauler/camper with 4 bikes and gear and it pulls it like its not there. Also, my 11 Tacoma had the 4.0 and hauled my 14' trailer with 5 bikes (approx 4,000 lbs)to Mid Ohio (3 hours) a couple weeks back with no issues. Only got 10.2 mpg but what the hell !!
