My car is getting old. I am at a point with the family and life a truck will be better. Going to start looking now so I can watch for a deal and/or be ready to buy should the car decide it hates me.
what do I require? Fit in the garage- so it has to be a smaller truck. Full size won’t fit. The small bed will be enough for sports gear or dead animals.
4 doors. With a wife, grandma, and kiddo, I want it easier for folks to get in and out.
tow ability. I can see towing a pop up camper or smaller trailers for the farm. Big and heavy, I will get the farm truck.
decent mileage.
I am not brand loyal. Must last a looong time (my 02 car has 231000 miles). Stick shift would keep it from being stolen but wife won’t relearn how to drive one.
the Ridgeline looks great on paper. Temp control for back seat. Decent mileage. Hear towing is not good.
Toyota Tacoma is supposed to last forever.
everything turns into a blur.
what suggestions does the INGO collective have?
Gotta find the thread where someone’s daughter had spreadsheets on all the car features and knew costs and fair value. I would pay a commission for that to be done once I figure out what I want.
Oh. Prefer used but there are times new and used are almost the same price.
