Thank you very much!

Dude I just pointed a new point of view to make you realise that you won't probably need a truck. That millions of people of different countries live driving small cars or even using public transport. So why do you need to be different of that many amount of people? Just cause you're American and you feel superior to the rest of the world?

Had this year in red. Put over 350k miles on it. Purchased it with 50k on it already. Only issue was the headlights got foggy.

We drive trucks here, so you should drive trucks there.

You should all eat rice and beans too. You don’t need anything else.

I know nylon is sturdy and lightweight and all that, but I enjoy natural materials. There's been more and more evidence/reasons to believe that synethic fibers (mostly made of petroleum) might be carcinogenic. Nothing beats the good ol non-cancerous rugged real deal. And good canvas lasts a lifetime.

Do you have any reason? I saw the pictures of Americans driving trucks just to go to the supermarket. You can't deny that's funny as hell and you could totally go with a normal size car.

I’m pretty happy with the one I got from IKEA, honestly

All Europeans should drive trucks.

Aw, those are fun pens! So cute.

Do you know how much they charge to get it cleaned? I know they offer this service, but I couldn't find the prices

My 05 Tacoma has 250,000 miles. Runs like a champ

Exactly. The truck I think is a very American thing, here in Europe the most common cars are the small ones and there's very few people with trucks. So that's why I asked, normally you wouldn't need a truck to do your everyday life.

Got the VIN? Look it up on CarFax. Got the mileage? Look it up in Blue Book for the average price it should be, given its condition.

Not sure why you were downvoted. It’s true - not everyone needs a truck. It’s smart to ask if it’s something you need or just want - first.

Frankenmuth Woolen Mill rocks- these will last forever and keep them the perfect temperature

It looks pretty well taken care of, but agree that it's impossible to know the value if you can't give it a test drive and have a trusted mechanic check it out. If you find something more local and you can kick the tires, I'd offer this. I bought a 1997 Chevy Silverado with 210k miles for $8k about 18 months ago. The engine and tranny had been replaced within the last 20k miles. I've probably put at least another $2k in it. Mine only gets about 12-13 MPG so there that, but I love it and think I got a steal. For sure a BIFL purchase for me.

Ok. Thanks

I have an 07 and it’s been pretty reliable for the most part. My biggest complaint has been the emissions system… it’s hot garbage and the parts to fix it are expensive. That said many people install a plug and play system that bypasses thise parts altogether. It’s not really needed anyway(only runs when it’s under 40 degrees and for first like 10min of starting the vehicle), but if the part is bad it will throw the truck into limp mode. Also, I have a long bed, so the thing is super bumpy on the freeway. You might test drive various roads.

Do you really need a truck? This big cars are so annoying to park and drive though the city with them. If you don't go though the mountain or stuff like that you could totally go with a smaller car. It would be cheaper to buy and you will need less gasoline/gasoil/etc

Do you need a car now? It’s probably going to see more downsides for used markets. I’m personally waiting for another year or two.

This is very helpful. Thanks everybody. I decided to not purchase online and will check my local dealers and seek reviews here again

You cannot diagnose cancer nor vehicles online. If you have the money to buy, have a need for an extended cab truck and have a plan in place to have a pre-purchase inspection performed, you have all the elements needed to purchase the vehicle sans internet support.

Don’t have one of these but I want one and they have a lifetime repairs guarantee.

Carfax, maybe? It was a pretty big recall, so I would think there should be some mention of it. First I guess look up "Toyota pickup rust recall" and see which years and models were affected, maybe this wasn't one of those.
