Sold the Dodge

So the other day I traded in the Dodge for a Tacoma. I just couldn't afford to pay for all the repairs I have been having to do on the steering and everything. Kindof a sad day but I do like the TRD... it's still got a class IV receiver imp:

 

wooohooo go ben !! we just need pics now and maybe ill see it in a few weeks

 

I'm sorry to hear about your loss of a good diesel truck, at least you got a nice little pickup you just will really notice the difference in towing.

 

I don't think he towed, or ever did, so I don't think you lost anything but a more expensive insurance rate, bigger registration bill, and a much higher maintance annual cost.

Financially compared to what you actually use a truck for, you made a very smart decision.

If a guy isn't either towing things constantly, or towing really heavy occasionally, It makes zero sense to be paying for a diesel truck when it's not needed.

 

that sucks dude but at least youll have a lil more left outta your paychecks for other toys

 

wow, i dont think i could go from a 3/4 ton diesel to a little compact... but im happy for ya! have lotsa fun with it!

 

I actually like the look of the New Tacomas despite me not being a Toyota fan. I actually like them more when lifted!;

 

Actually, I did tow a few times a year for my church (sound equipment trailer) up to Utah as well as towing my buddie's chevy prerunner to Gorman every now and then. I loved the power and the normal maintenence costs wern't that bad it was just the repairs in the steering and suspension that i couldnt handle... but yes the toyota will be much cheaper (more money to spend on fun stuff).

 

what happened to your steering and suspension, did you have a warranty? sorry if you already posted about it and i missed it

 

Yea. What was going on. I have 160000 km and all I hve done is change fluids. Just had the front axle u-joints replaced and that was warranty.

 

well good luck with your new Truck.
