You mentioned total miles that Toyota and others can go for, ie 300 - 400k, and I'd like to toss my old Ford into the list. I had an '85 F250 with the 351 Winsor motor, ran perfect and never had any major engine trouble, no rebuilds ect. The worst problem it ever had was the water pump. Doesn't sound very impressive until you put into perspective that when I sold it, it had 380k miles on it and is still going very strong at around 412k last I heard.

I've wanted a Toyota 4Runner for the longest time. Was panning to buy a new truck ($38K or so) but recently decided to wait with the finance rates being so high and whatnot. By the time I can afford to buy a 4Runner, the '24s will probably all be used and the 25's will be a huge X-factor; same with the Tacomas.

Saving money is the best way to make anything in life affordable. Get a side account, whether it be a savings account, or a money market account like Robinhood... anything you won't be tempted to touch. Now have automatically have this account take $30 from your main bank account every business day (Monday through Friday). Don't even look at it for a year. After a year, you will have $7800. After 3 years you will have over $23k. After 10 years you will have almost $80k. Buying expensive things doesn't require you to be rich, it just requires time and discipline if your short on cash.

Just picked up a '23 Pro4x brand new. Found a dealer in TX that had a couple on the lot but just got a bunch of '24's in their inventory at the end of the year. Got nearly 5K off MSRP so it cost a couple grand more than the one shown here. Love this truck. Just a beefy, tanky feeling truck that's easy to drive and very comfortable.

The only issue I've heard of from others or experienced myself with a Nissan (or old Datsun) truck was gas mileage, although my old 720 king cab with the Z24 4cylinder and stick shift got great MPG. I wish manufacturers would go back to the basics - I don't want my truck to be a luxury vehicle, but a function vehicle: the only option I care about at all is AC.

@segapena5033 9 ай бұрын

I just bought a 2018 Frontier. The gas mileage is atrocious and probably really only gets 18 on the highway. But that's charm. The truck is a dinosaur.

There’s a major drop coming for the used market because of dealer overstock on new vehicles. It’s estimated to occur later this fall going into winter.

In turn rates will go down and most likely, if you’re financially stable enough, you’d be able to pay in cash for a used vehicle because they’re going to be marked considerably down.

Had a 2006 King Cab, now have a 2008 Crew Cab. Only real problems I have seen: transmissions can be ruined by radiator lower end coming apart. Can be avoided by proactively changing out radiator at low mileage or going with and external cooler. Engine uses plastic timing chain guides, you may possibly hear a whine from the engine at some point signaling this condition. Granted, these are both expensive fixes if you're not aware. These were older trucks: 4.0 liter 6 cylinder and 4 speed automatic. Other than that, trucks hold up well. No frame rust, no body rust, at least where I'm at. Paint appears as good as any comparable year Toyota. Interior panels hold up decently. A little utilitarian, but decent. Driven Nissan for about 14 years. New truck uses a newly designed V6 and a 9 speed automatic. Who knows? They may last forever.
