Price of trucks

Just buy a 3 year old tundra and keep it for 10 years.

I want a Tacoma but with their new facelift, they aren’t seeming to be as reliable and have suspensions issues and I refuse to buy a 3-5 year old truck with 50k miles for the same price as new one off the lot. It’s crazy how high the resale value of Tacomas are.

Then buy a new one?

Chicken Tax, baw

honestly its because of the market. they make more money throwing away thousands of trucks a year than they would pricing them at market value. just buy something used

It is because of the extended cab.

Yeah, I've bought three new ones over the years but no more.

$50,000 buys a helluva a lot of auto parts.

Colorado; You getting a smaller truck that gets the same gas mileage as the Silverado, tows and hauls less, with a smaller interior but paying the same amount. I don't get it


I need a truck to get me to and from work, get decent gas mileage, able to tow my 2,000 lb boat (not an OT baller), and haul a couple 2x4s and a sheet of plywood every so often.

I bought a few Colorado’s for my farm workers and hardware stores.

My 2016’s were $1,000 higher on the Colorado’s. The 2018’s either the dealer gave me a better deal or the price went down.

4x2 4- door decent interior package $22,500. I also bought some 2-door with 1/2 doors for back really only store stuff back there 4-cylinder Colorado’s $21,500. They come with carpet, gm radio phone stuff, backup camera, carpet (don’t like carpet they were out of the WT vinyl package), cruise control, power windows, power locks, and upgraded rim package. I look at the gas bills and mileage avg 22 to 29. For small deliveries and just running around it the trucks a good option. What surprised me the trucks have had very few service related issues.

As far as towing my nephew bought one of my 2016’s Colorado’s I sold. I replaced my fleet with 2018’s Colorado’s with the same package as above. He tows a small aluminum tracker Pro 160 boat just fine with his truck. We took his truck and boat up to Toledo Bend and towed it pretty good.

The Ford dealer showed me the price on similar packaged Rangers and they run $28,000 with less options. I will wait until the price comes down to try a Ford Ranger.

got one last year for 30k (yeah I just one-upped you ), but that was with specific rebates and stuff. MSRP was like 43k. Yes deals can be had, but the fact that the truck was ever priced above 40k for what is basically a base model truck (only add one are really a center console and 2"larger screen) is absolutely absurd.

This is true. 10 years ago under the same circumstances I drove a loaded out lariat off the lot for 27K. Almost 4K more for less bells and whistles comparatively.
