I'm kind of at a crossroads here, as I love my truck and really don't want to sell it. I bought it at 18 as a way to build my credit and it's been the perfect truck (aside from being 2WD). But having gotten my 80 series last year, it has taken over everything I have used the truck for (camping, road trips, etc.) with the exception of daily driving and towing my boat. In fact, I think I've put less than 5,000 miles on it since I got the 80 in April 2019. I am a full time college student with a part time job, so money is not abundant and having two vehicles that average 10 & 13mpg (all of my Tundra driving is in the city, gets 17-20 highway) is not proving to be very economical. Selling my Tundra would allow me to get my rear bumper and new tires that aren't 6 years old on the 80, get a cheap commuter to get me by until graduation in a year, and allow me to pay current bills and expenses off, giving me some more financial breathing room.
In my 6 years of ownership, I have only put in 55-60k miles (at 151,000k now) and have only ever used full synthetic oil for changes (done by Toyota), have had the transmission fluid flushed (again by Toyota), changed differential fluids, replaced shocks, brand new Toyota brand warrantied battery, and maybe a few other little maintenance things I can't remember. It has the 5.7L V8 with the only aftermarket equipment being an AFE Magnum Stage 2 CAI, Magnaflow Muffler, and front end leveling kit. It currently sits on 18" XD Grenade wheels with 285/70/r18 Toyo AT2 XTs.
It's a Double Cab SR5 TRD Off Road with JBL Premium Sound, tan cloth interior, tow mirrors, front & rear parking sensors, 6.5' bed with Toyota liner. But is otherwise a fairly no frills package. Has never had any mechanical or electrical failure and has always taken great care of me.
The only real negatives to the truck is the sun damage to the hood and roof (all of the clear coat on the roof is gone and the hood is peeling pretty badly), with some other little dings here and there.
Not really sure what the point of this post is, maybe just writing it out to convince myself to do the smart thing and sell it, see if any MUD members were in the market for such a thing before running away to Craigslist, or to maybe just get some "what would you do?" opinions.
If anyone would like extra pictures, feel free to ask and I shall provide.
