If the Kung Flu hadn't taken me off the road for a year, I'd be looking for a replacement vehicle. It wouldn't be new nor would it be a "truck" and within a few days wouldn't all clean shiny either. I'd be searching for another 2004-2008 Chevy 1/2 ton PICKUP. Pretty well satisfied with that platform as far as cost of operation, ease of maintenance, ride, and utility. One more should finish out my 2nd career and then I might buy something newer.
My son bought a 2016 toyota tacoma new . He had grown to hate the truck .It is cramped and had no leg room despite being the four door cab version . He told me tonight he is going to sell or trade it for a late model silverado . I cautioned him that used trucks are at an all time high right now .
He was seduced by the hype fed to him m by a few of his buddies . He tends to pay more attention to his friends thsn to the voice of reason aka old fashioned dad ...and the internet experts all said it was the perfect truck .We all know they are infallible
Son-in-law is finance manager at a major Toyota dealership. He can't keep them on the lot. Says at the moment they sell so fast that the sales folks don't have to negotiate for a sale. Most vehicles are already paid for by the time they get them from the manufacturer.
Son might be able to get a good deal on a trade. Although, any truck at the moment is going for a premium.

There is a used 2020 Tahoe on the corner lot they are asking $74,000 and change for. People waste a lot of money on cars.

Difficult to fathom spending that much.. 2014 F250 just rolled 45k
The truck just rolled over 50,000 miles....the truck was nowhere near 50K new...it is a working truck, not a cowboy caddie....

^^^ True, but so is the trade-in value of the Tacoma.

Does he need a pickup bed? If not tell him to go test drive a 4runner. Way more roomy than the Taco.
