Talk them down, unless that is a great price and they goat multiple offers. Offer them $40 or $42. I bought a 21 last summer at $1k below 2021 msrp with 30,000 with no regrets. I was a good price for a great truck that had everything I wanted. I bought a 100,000 mile extended 5 year warranty for about $1,500 for peace of mind.
I believe extended warranty’s from different manufacturers and even dealers you bring the vehicle into various considerably. I’ll wager if you have a catastrophic failure on an engine or transmission the dealer is probably going to work hard for ways to avoid paying for warranty damages. Ford, GMC, RAM, and Toyota I would wager are the same. I got invoices for my Tundra maintenance and keep oil, and filter etc receipts. I believe I may use my extended warranty for possible leaking valve towers in the next few years before my 5 years and/or 100,000 miles on the truck. I will get my truck inspected for possible known warranty issues well before my warranty expires.
I’d test drive the new Tundra as well if you’re getting into the $55k range. Like I mentioned earlier, you can get the 125k platinum warranty for about $2k depending on who you buy it from.
If you’re comparing costs the Toyota one is ~$2k depending on who you purchase it from. If you try to get it from the dealer you’re buying the truck from then they’ll probably try to make you pay double that.
Feels like I need a commission check from Toyota at this point but you can get an equivalent Tundra SR5 TRD Off-Road for that same price (with the ability to obviously haggle that price down)
I haven’t seen this unfortunately. In my experience the Nissans don’t pass the longevity test. They’re both made in Japan, but that’s about all they have in common unfortunately. The Nissans are cheap for a reason, which can make them attractive in certain situations.
Replaced the right turbo on my 2014 F150 ecoboost in 2023@ 137,000kms. $3700 Canadian taxes in @ Ford deslership. Recently sold that truck and bought a 2022 F150 5.0.
I get that...but 55,000 in who REALLY goes to the dealer for service?
Me. My 2014 f150 has had every fluid changed at reccomended intervals since new. Im currently just at 180k miles. I estimate the cost around $700per year to do this. I'm talking oil/trans/diff/coolant and transfer case. Keeping up with this maintenance has added protections through the dealership as well. I've never dug into the fine print but by allowing them to do the service it provides a degree of coverage. For example ; on coolant flushes, my water pump failed at 66k miles and was covered by the dealer, even though I was outside my ford warranty. That saved me about 500 bucks (had I paid the dealer to perform the actual replacement)
So 7k spent and you think you are ahead? My 2014 has only been to the dealer to replace a thermostat and coolant flush. I have 165000 on it and average $220 a year in oil changes done by me. Diffs have royal purple in them, done by me.
Alot would have to go wrong to be financially ahead. I've never had any break downs or issues that ruined trips. I've spent very little time working on my vehicle. Which is ultimately what I am after.
You’re averaging 3-5 mpg better on the f150? Sounds like the tundra was horrid and the f150 is terrible.
