So basically every truck has its problem, and its a crap shot whether you get a decent truck or not?
I do fear that if I want to see my Tundra, I'm going to get effed in the a, losing a ton of equity. Prime example?
My 2020 Tacoma I paid $37k for. I paid it off (to get the Tundra) and got $38k for it. That made the down payment on the Tundra. So after 5 years, my Tacoma sold for $1k more than I paid for it.
I don't expect this for the Tundra, but let's say in 5 years I try to sell it with less than 10k miles. I'm guessing I may recoup only about 20k max?! Not sure. It won't be the 1 for 1 I got with my Tacoma.
COVID era prices of used vehicles shouldn't be used to gauge future resale value. I bought a 2009 Tacoma SR5 4WD in 2011 with 10k miles on it for 23900. I traded that Tacoma in on my AT4 in 2021 with 200k miles on it and was given 13,500 for it. They sold it that weekend for 16,500.
