[QUOTE="Captain, post: 1251488, member: 27001"] That’s good info. After s few more days of research I’m actually leaning toward a used Tundra. Let me explain before you beat me up. My entry fee into the Raptor club is there but it means something with at least 100k+ miles that may or may not been well cared for. Staying under $30k I can only be so picky. Trucks that age need some extra TLC $$$. So I’m a little concerned about buying a 6-7 year old money pit. I’m not saying I’m broke, but it doesn’t mean I want to continuously spend money on repairing expensive SVT parts. On a Tundra they basically haven’t changed any mechanical stuff since 2007. So that significantly broadens my choices of price vs age vs mileage. Im not a Toyota fan boy but after owning this FJ with 165k miles from 4 previous owners I do understand where the reputation came from. It’s interior has held up better than my wife’s 2011 Explorer we sold at 65k miles. So the Tundra entry fee is anywhere from $15k for slightly older than Raptor with probably higher miles but leaving plenty of coin on the table for repairs and upgrades to $30k for something a few years newer than a Raptor with less miles. Am I over analyzing this or is there some logic to my thinking? [/QUOTE]
