2020 4runner, buyers remorse

Have had a new vehicle for about 3 months now, and I have a bit of buyers remorse. Wish I would have sprung for the Raptor. Now buying my time until I can make the switch after enough time has elapsed so my whole family won't call me crazy for not liking a brand new car.

Anyone had a similar situation? Any luck trading in a quasi new car and not losing your @ss?

My wife bought a pathfinder thinking it was like the old one we had with a body on frame and a standard transmission. The new one sucked. After three months she couldn’t take it anymore and dumped it with Car Max. Took a decent sized loss of $4,000. Sometimes you just have to take the medicine...

I traded in my 2012 raptor for a 2015 Tahoe. It was fine but I missed the raptor and couldn't wait to get another one. Made it 22 months with the Tahoe before I bought my 2017 Raptor. Would have been sooner but I refused to pay $7500 over MSRP so I waited until I found the truck and deal I could live with.i lost my ass on the Tahoe.

You won’t loose much on the 4runner so there is that

True!

Raptor, 4runner, and tacomas are best at resale it seems.

The 4runners have excellent resale. I would look into it because you should not lose much on your 4runner. If a ford dealer does not treat you right on a trade, a toyota dealer might buy it from you outright. Either way, the 4runner has the second best resale after the tacoma.

i'm in a similar boat. bought a 2019 4runner TRD pro brand new, and loved it at first. the lack of power and creature comforts ate away at me, and in january i traded it in for a used 2018 CPO. i did lose some money, but thats to be expected. i had the 2019 for about 15 months and put 20k miles on it. i got 41 for the trade which i was honestly happy with. good luck on the search!
