Slate Truck Announced

FWIW, I don't think that $45K is a good price. But, most vehicles seem overpriced right now.

If you go by MSRP, Jeep and Ford are right there with the 4Runner, if you compare 4 doors. So, maybe the entire country is living in a bubble.

I only bought mine new because used ones were going for only a few thousand less than new. I paid ~$38.6K for a vehicle with a $42K+ MSRP. All of my previous vehicles have been used, generally bought with high mileage.

 

Sometimes I wonder how many of the members here were influenced by this scene, whether they realize it or not. I still have a soft spot for a lot of the '80's Toyotas.

 

My thoughts exactly and i would buy one. Give me simple, reliable and relatively inexpensive. Also, mavrick and santa cruz trucks look like trash so those done count. I am referring to something of the likes of old toyotas, obs ford rangers and s10s

 

Probably a lot.

 

This truck is 10x better but we can't have nice things

My dad had that exact truck in red when i was 4-5yo. When i got 15yo and got my first job i saved every penny and bought a slightly wrecked 89 and put a new front end on it and painted it and fixed it up. Boy that truck was so sharp when i got done with it. It was a white 89 4wd and those body lines were absolutely tits when you put a wider tire and wheel on it. Whew i miss that ole girl.

 

Be careful what you wish for. Speculation is that platform is coming as a mini Land Cruiser... which is better than the current Land Cruiser Roomy sold in Japan:
