got an older volvo SUV that is starting to die, repairs are worth more than the car is worth. Looking at getting a truck for an eventual pop-up camper setup, but not enjoying looking at used truck prices at the moment.
An older double cab tundra (gen 2) would be ideal, but used ones with about 100k miles in good condition are only ~15k less than a brand new 2022 tundra. Will have to wait a bit to get a new one, but believe I can limp my existing SUV long enough to cover the gap.
I have never bough new before, just didnt see the point. Am I crazy for considering this?

Trucks.
I went through the same process in 2019, before prices went totally crazy. Used tricks with under 100k were only around 5-6k less than what I paid for a brand new truck. One thing I noticed when looking is that most used trucks had lots of options that I didn’t need/want. Ended up getting a gmc 1500 crew cab 4x4 work truck, with blind spot detection, tow package and spray in bed liner for $33k once all paid off. When everything shut down for Covid a few months later I’ve was wondering if I bought at a bad time. Turns out I timed it perfect. Have a coworker looking at trucks more and prices for used are way more than what I paid new. I’ve fell for anyone in the market now.

The market is ridiculous.
I've decided to keep putting money into my 2007 with 330k miles because it just doesn't make sense to pay the prices as they currently are.

^this is truth. That, and if you want the camper to not be a pop-up, you'll want to think about a 2500/3500 size. Lots of discussion in this thread and the who's sleeping in parking lots thread.

Most trucks hold their value extremely well, of which Toyota is the king. I'd go new if you can find one as you'll sell it eventually for way more than you think.
The current market is bonkers with used rigs going for more than they sold for new, but Toyota's have always had extremely low cost of ownership between the reliability and resale value holding very strong. My FJ cost me under 1k a year for example over my 4 years of ownership after buying new, including all maintenance and reg fees, and that was pre-covid. My current Tundra is now worth 7ish grand more than I paid for it 4 years ago new. That's a free truck including gas!Live Free or Die

Same here, bought my Tacoma in fall 2019. I normally buy used but prices were ridiculous. I'd gladly pay $5k more to have a truck with full warranty and 0 miles on it rather than 40k, 60k or more miles. There are still some dealers selling vehicles at MSRP so that's what I'd try and track down if buying now.

Random turbo issues (wastegate) causing it to fail. Lots of talk about it on Tundras.com. A few articles floating around as well - https://www.autoevolution.com/news/2...up-179617.html
It's a Toyota so I'm sure they will have it fixed before too long.

Omg that’s hilarious. Last Fall I sold my 2005 tundra for more than i paid 5y prior after driving it for 60k miles. And my neighbor got a VERY good deal on a truck with less than 100k miles. Coulda made few more grand on it but I’m a sucker for passing along a good deal to a friend.

I just checked, and I'm seeing F150's in my truck's vintage that have similar mileage (135K) priced at $26K. WTF?
