Used truck versus new compact pickup

JDMGuy51Community StarterJun 23, 20262023 Toyota 4Runner TRD ProPhiladelphia
Same money buys an older full-size truck with capability I may never use or a newer compact truck with better fuel economy and warranty. Anyone make this switch and regret the smaller truck? I'd rather test this logically than start replacing parts.

Compare apples to apples or you'll get spun. A written buyer’s order on the 2023 Toyota 4Runner is worth more than any verbal “we’ll make it work.” Do that before you talk monthly again. Take it or leave it — that's what I'd do. If this is nothing, great. I want that in data.

Coming back with numbers — insurance in Philadelphia changed the 2023 Toyota 4Runner comparison more than the sale price did. Calling insurance in the morning before I reply to the desk.

This is from a 2023 Toyota 4Runner in Philadelphia. Post the numbers (or the code) and people can get more specific. I'd sleep better after that step, even if it finds nothing. I'll post OTD once I have two apples-to-apples sheets.

I asked about used truck versus new compact pickup again and they still won't put GAP/add-ons on their own lines. I'm in no rush to be a hero on it.

Walk if they won't put it on a buyer’s order. I would not wire money until I've seen the 2023 Toyota 4Runner and the title situation in person or via a trusted PPI. That's the part that actually changes the decision. This is from a 2023 Toyota 4Runner in Philadelphia. Not gospel, but it saved me a headache. Doc fee is the line I'm watching.
