Dude, Mrs Beard's lease was coming up so we went in to get her a new car. They gave us 2 grand for the lease return. 2 grand for a car we didn't own. It's fucking lunacy.

Really is quite silly

I am the type of guy to pay it off in a couple years so I prefer to not lease

I looked at Ford and Toyota today...leaning Toyota as of now

What do you need a truck for Rambo John J @Outlaw Shit ?

I don't mean that existentially, I mean it literally. What you plan to do with it impacts recommendations.

Tow 2,000-2,500lb trailer 3 days a week, rest of week no trailer just drive to job site with a full bed of tools.
Prefer long bed

Mostly flat land driving, some rough road(logging road) stuff about twice a month

On days off, it will be recreational and capabilities will be nice

Any full size will do it, but the gas will be an unnecessary expense. Tundra will have better resale than most other full sizes.

Tacoma should handle the job pretty easily, but the 3.5 in the 16-up lacks some of the down low torques that the older 4 liters had. That being said, with a manual it might be a non issue so I'd recommend test driving. I don't like manual Tacos personally, I find them clunky. But I also don't like manuals as a general rule.

Thanks beard. I do enjoy the control of a manual. Mostly because I have driven so many, it's just hard to leave them.

The demand is so high here nothing lasts for more than a couple days, and there are very few manuals coming thru here. It is either order one or pick off one of the few models that fit my wants/needs that come thru here...or buy a previous leased one for nearly the same price.

When did the down low torque 4 liters stop?

2015 was the last model year. 2016 introduced the 3.5 with the direct injection. It actually has more horsepowers and torqueses but they're further up the RPM.

Ok
Thanks

Those fuckers probably cost an arm and a leg because of that 4.0 even with mileage

I will ask more questions later maybe, your input is nice.

Pro tip, my gas milage in my 5.0 F150 is better than my 3.5 Tacoma.
