I always see people that trade in their 2-3 year old HD plow trucks and makes me wonder how long my truck would last before a major failure.
2018 Toyota Tacoma currently 25k miles. “Bulletproof” 2.7 4cyl 4x4. Max tow rating 3500lb(no trans cooler). Max payload rating 1500lb. It’s not uncommon for me to have 1500-2000lb (sometimes 2500) payload occasionally or towing 2500-3000lb. I am not hauling every day. I would guess 15 times a year on average. Rest of the use is unloaded. Thinking about adding a light duty plow to do two 8-car parking lots. But I can always buy a nice snow blower for the same price.
Would it be unreasonable to think this truck can serve me well for the next 6-7 years, possibly more? I rather not buy a new truck to get dented up like this one already is. At the same time I don’t really care to see a major failure on the truck.
