WTB old Tundra

Just sold my 18’ model 1794 Edition last month. Was a damn great truck. Just don’t need a truck anymore and 14mpg is sort of for the birds right now. I paid $43K out the door for it; brand new from my local dealer in 2017.

I put nearly 150,000 trouble free miles on it. Oil, brakes, tires, filters and that’s it.

Listed it on Facebook Marketplace with an asking price of $25,000 and figured I’d get talked down to $22,000 or so. The truck was sold at full asking price only a few hours later. They are definitely in demand apparently.

Best of luck…

I just sold my 2016 Tundra with 271k trouble free miles and bought a 2021 TRD Tundra with 50k miles from gulf states auto in Tuscaloosa.

Toyota is just so stupid for giving up that V8.

I was in a Toyota plant last week, and trust me giving up the V8 wasn’t their idea. They would have continued turning out the 5.7 for all eternity if emissions standards hadn’t forced their hand.

did some emission law change that would have made selling the 5.7 V8 illegal?

Its often used as an excuse. Without digging into the particulars, manufacturers are held to average MPG requirements over their entire product line, so a gas guzzling product (V8 tundra) has to be offset by a very efficient product (prius or EV). I dont think EV's count as infinite MPG though. It gets screwing and CARB makes it even screwier than just the EPA alone. Volumes play into it. Total tons of emissions is part of it i believe.

You CAN sell a sub 10k lb GVWR pickup that gets 6mpg in america but its not simple to do. Its simpler to design engines with belt driven variable displacement oil pumps and 10 speed transmissions and cylinder cutouts than it is to sell a 6mpg pickup truck that is cheap and lasts forever.

Yep. Bunch of BS.
