I have a thread about shopping for another truck since my other was on its last legs. I got a new, well new to me, one today. I'll post a pic later. It's dark now. Doesn't have the bells and whistles my other one had, but that would've cost me about 10 grand more than I wanted to pay.

What a mystery. I'm really curious to see what met your high criteria. Good for that you passed on all the bells and whistles--who needs a "Cadillac" of a truck, for good- ness sake!
Congrats on your new family member! |

The "new" truck is a 2017 Toyota Tacoma with an access cab. It's only got 21,000 miles on it and was in my price range (low 20's).
Trav, you're right. I want a truck to use as a truck, not a car. The friend that went on a test drive with me commented it rides like a truck. I told him it is a truck. He drives a Lexus. They gave me exactly what I hoped to get for my old truck. So I traded it in. I gave it a pat on the hood and thanked it for its years of service before I left. I'm kind of silly about moving on. I like the new truck. I'm sure it will give me years of good service too. Still I have some sadness about letting go of the old one. In some ways I have trouble letting go... truck, critters, people.... Anyway, I'll post a pic later. Right now it's covered in dew. Gonna wait for it to dry off. |

If Beeg chews on it I will pull his teeth with my bare hands! He is more interested in all the wonderful smells on it. It got a ride around the yard too.
Access cab means there is space behind the seats. It gives me a place to put things out of the weather if I want. My other truck had jump seats back there. I thought they were suitable for torturing people. No jump seats in this one. I never have more than one passenger so I don't care. I never had a red car before. Wasn't sure I wanted red, but have come to like it. Am going to have to be careful though. Red cars are more likely to get speeding tickets because they draw attention. I can have a lead foot. |

A cuuuuuute motorcycle cop once pulled me over for gunning my little Chevy S-10 truck over a little hill on the xway. I thought he was gonna drop his teeth when he came up to my window and saw a little ol lady settin there in a navy blazer, red lady bow tie, and blue oxford shirt with white collar and cuffs. Dressed for success! He let me off with a warning.
I liked not having a back seat. I filled the space up with junk and trash anyway. |

I have a red car---for over 9 years and have yet to get a ticket. But, I'm not exactly lead-footed when I drive. Toyotas have a good name. My hubby has a Toyota Highlander--his third Toyota.
Nice choice! Enjoy! |
