Yea but, what doesn't in the salt belt? Every time there's comments about the north east its Tacomas don't last. Rangers don't last. S10 don't last. gmt400/800 don't last. F150 don't last. 2nd/3rd gen ram don't last. Nissan? Lol won't make it 6 years.
Prolly too young to visit Paragon? Ima goan with the looney hospital-
No shit. I'm not a fossil.
Wtf are you talking about?
Rangers rust as bad as anything
Right down to the junk transmission and severe rust
LOL
Two factors on that, a late 90s ranger looks the same as a 2011 ranger so a lot of the ones you see in passing are newer than they look. The other factor is the artificial value put on late 90s tacomas by the frame recall. Toyota didn't realize the scope of the frame rust issues and they offered 1.5X kbb excellent value figuring they'd buy back a few hundred trucks. Instead they bought back every single one sold in the northeast, which to their credit they did follow through on instead of reducing their offer. Any owner of a 10 year old rusty truck jumped at the cash. So it wasn't an issue of not worth fixing, it was an offer you couldn't refuse.

I've never heard anyone here from that region say "oh yea those are solid".

You constantly talk about being proud you don't have to deal with any customer you don't want to and that you don't want to deal in price sensitive customers. Your customer base is gonna skew old and white as a result. You only see grandpa trucks because Pablo takes his elsewhere.
Except for the handful of vehicles that rust particularly badly, a category the Tacomas we're discussing fit into.
I like how you understood and yet willfully ignored the comparison. If you just don't get the SOHC 4.0 or the A4LD it's a great, which is a category most sold fall into. Kind of like how an 00s Accord is great if you don't pair the V6 with the auto.
Right after you got done admitting that they rust the typical amount.
Because the aftermarket still makes stuff because it still deems it worth doing so. Other than big assemblies you're doing the same thing to GMT trucks. Not worth your time to pull specific shit when it's mostly all still available.
They didn't sell Toyotas in SA until fairly recently and they sell Hilux's there and in Africa. There's not that much demand there.
See even Steve knows you can easily tell rangers apart by age.

You gonna retire to Arizona soon?

There's some subdivision outside Phoenix that would love to have your type.

we are going wheeling next month. My Hispanic customers have a new Corolla wagon thing, a newish JL and a Chrysler minivan among them. What you don't understand is the "junk" tacomas are not being parted out. They're being repaired and used whole.
Ima boomer but for some reason Arse had to call me a fossil. All is good.

Lotsa rumors that Paragon was bought & would reopen. :yawns:
BTW, I haven't been to Harry's in about 20 yrs-
That's every jeep TJ and TJU( LJ) in my area too. Replacing a frame under friends LJ right now. I don't think it's the fact of boxed frames it's the fact people are too fucking lazy to flush they're frame out after winters. And those tacos and Jeeps have no drain holes on the areas where the salt builds up.Saw this one for sale the other day, mid 2000's F150. Every Toyota with a frame usually looks like this.
I miss Paragon, that place was awesome.
Yea.
I'll live with the bugs in exchange for being able to keep a vehicle for as long as i want, and drive it year round.We have bugs too. Shut up assholeYea.
Ouch! Nice Bronco2's sell for 6-10k out here. Most were crushed for cash for clunkers so they are hard to find.
cash for clunkers!
Look on the bright side. If things in this country get bad enough maybe you'll get to gouge out a lobbyist's eyes.
