You may want to start seriously shopping for another vehicle now. Waiting will only prolong the inevitable. Plus, if something happens, such as your frame breaking or your gas tank falling down, then you won't have anything of any value that anyone would even remotely consider taking in on trade. You may also want to prepare yourself for the fact that your truck may not have much of a trade-in value. Life Member: ITA, IBA & NRA. Member of SA, FTA & NTA |

My 2014 Tundra with 50,000 miles many of them on rough logging roads, frame and body in very good condition. Thats what Im saying, and why Ill never own another gm product. |

Toyota are good but you can't nessisarly count on the next one to be just as good it is a constant what costs more preventative or possible recalls , none of them are looking to make them last 20+ years , they just want to get it past the warranty but there is a lot you can do to make it last 20 years. America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it. |

I'd be shocked if you can get $1000 trade in value, or on the street, for a truck with 300k miles and a rotten frame. That said, a sucker's born every day. List it for $2k on Facebook and see what happens. Last edited by yotetrapper30; Yesterday at 01:09 AM. ~~Proud Ultra MAGA~~ |

Trade ins are where the dealers make their money, anything they give you on a trade in they add to the vehicle you're buying. Sell it outright or for scrap, you'll be money ahead. |
