I too drive a $3k shit box everyday.
Bromo, what is your 3k car? I only ever saw your Porsche. It did not look like a shit box.

Everyone should be driving 90s toyotas. No need for anything more modern. We would all have much more cash in our pockets. Except the mechanics...

I am contributing to the used car market in a few years. If nobody purchased a new car, how would there be used ones to purchase. It would quickly look like Havana. Having to cobble together toyota tacoma drivetrains from rusted out frames onto chevy colorado frames with aluminum ford panels due to rust.

Is Toyota going to put one of their diesels in a tundra, like the vd-ftv?

Lol at diesel import trucks. It doesn't happen. Toyota knows what sells here. Gas guzzler 16 mpg trucks, hybrid cars, cute utes and luxury vehicles. Not wagons. Not diesel. Not manual transmissions.

Thread drift:
Is a $480 quote for 90k service + oil change for a 2012 Tundra really high? Or just Bozangles tax high? This is not at a dealer, but a recommended toyota garage.

Dont know if this link will work. Pretty involved check with a decent amount of 4wd maintenance involved.

Changing differential and t-case fluids must be a really high margin job for garages. Changing those and greasing your prop shafts are about the extent of the 4wd service you can do one these things. It's easier to do than changing your engine oil on these trucks, but shops regularly get about $300 for doing all three.
See what the 90k service will run you if you do those things yourself.

New (used) truck time. It's been a while so if anyone feels like chiming in it would be appreciated. I live within a days drive of Calgary, so pretty big market...
20k budget
2door/extended cab preferred (no need for 4 door/mega cab)
6ft box or bigger
Good gas mileage/reliability are the biggest considerations.
What would you be looking for?Drive slow, homie.

Unless you got a need for more room or carrying ability you can probably trust a used taco but you should drive the Taco and see if you like them, I drive fishing shuttles in the fall where I may drive 3 different trucks in 3 hrs and the Taco is pretty likable, I've also driven them for expediting
Its been 10yrs on my ranger, need new snow tires next season, new summers soon, at a point where some shit is wearing out , also i'm not a big guy so I'm thinking about a new TacoLee Lau - xxx-er is the laziest Asian canuck I know

I'm on my second crew cab 6.5' bed. This one is a 2012 F150 5.0 I picked up a year ago for a little over your budget. Its a nice truck but I've had a few little issues that have really pissed me off including a coolant leak, front hub going bad, and the horn just quit working. Stupid shit that shouldn't happen on a 90k truck. But I bought it used so who knows how it was treated for 6 years. Overall its comfortable as fuck to drive and I average around 15mpg, but I have 2" lift, E rated tires, and a tall ass shell with a roof rack.
You may be able to find a 2015+ ext cab in your price range which have an aluminum body and appear to get better mileage. They still have stupid vacuum front hubs though.

Right so the 2015 f150s or newer got the bump in gas mileage due to the weight loss? Maybe the v6 would be a good call....
I just sold my well-loved 2000 taco, part of this post is seeing if there anything worthwhile other then a new tacoma. They use lots of salt on the roads where I live, so I'm concerned about the frame rust issues with Tacos.
Any thoughts on the dodge eco-diesel trucks? Just saw one a little out of my price range....Drive slow, homie.

I have a 2017 Ram 1500, 4x4, 4 door with the 5.7 and average between 17 and 20 mpg depending on where my foot is at in the accelerator. I know there is a lot of hate on chrysler but this is my 2nd Ram, i retired the last one at 190k with no issues.
