I hear ya on the payment vs. payment, new truck vs. rebuild.
I think the best bet would be to hold on to this one since I don't think I could get too much for it given the miles, and buy the newer, lighter model (used, cosmetically challenged to lower the price, hopefully). But lets say I get $3500 for it. And, I rent, so having extra cars around the house is only moderately reasonable. Thats a decent start on paying off a newer truck. Having the spare trucjk would be nice, then maybe I could buy a slightly older truck (88 4x4 w/ 4cy) and alternate.
I am getting 16-17 on flat interstate below 70mph. Running 78mph (last weekend) only about 260 miles/tank (about 13 mpg) Unfortunately, hurdling yourself over mountain after mountain over to wild and wooly WV, then roughin it into the woods on some awful skid trail, keeps the mileage down too, lets see, 3/4 tank over 250 miles, uummmm, lets say 15 mpg.
I don't know and my wife was laughing at me when I wrote in as if I would be able to get some conclusive answer on this one. Its a sweet truck if someone wants it, and I decide to sell it.
The T100s are awesome trucks. With only the 3.4L (glad no V8), far more space than tacoma, especially in the bed, the locking fornt end in 4x4, its killer. I figured when I got it I'd have it forever, but now, with dependabiility issues, I'm thinking.
Yes. Rust free. Thanks for the wisdom.
