Hi all, wont waste too much of your time. Similar story as lots of people here, car guy since I was 16, having a kid late this year and getting out of my high horsepower toys.
I work from home and drive about 40 miles a week, currently have a GX460 and supercharged Corvette. My goal here is to consolidate a bit and get something that has the best of both worlds. Some of my die hard Lexus/Toyota friends are crucifying me over selling a GX for Raptor but I just really dont like not having a bed (even a short bed) for hauling things or just the extra space if needed.
I've been at war with myself over the Gen 1 and Gen 2 and honestly just think I'll be happier if I get a super clean Gen 1 worst case I change it out down the road. The real question here is, most of the Gen 1s obviously have a little higher mileage on average and I am trying to gauge what are the things I should be looking out for and what mileage is "too much" in these trucks. I'm the type of person who thinks ownership/care/maintenance trumps actual mileage but I just want to hear from what others thought who bought 70k+ mile trucks and were you happy with your decision, do you wish you ponied up the extra money for those really low mileage ones, etc. You get what I'm asking here. Basically I don't want to pay the money for a gen 1 that could easily cover a gen 2 lol, that's psychologically just messing with me.
Hope to update with a new truck in the next few weeks in the other forum! Thanks all
