Used to run a Dakota until I wrecked it, and have been in a 2004 Tundra 4x4 ever since. My Tundra has served me well, but Imiss my Dodge! Went the Toyota route because I had a friend with a 03 Ram that was a nightmare even though my 1998 Dakota was a stud. Put a fab tech lift on it and have the exhaust done. Loved that truck.

My Tundra still only has 85k on it, and if been watching the truck market for a while. This Rebel though....wow, it's really got me fired up. Might have to make the plunge!

Welcome to the forum!

Good choice going with the Tundra, I know toyota has a reputation for quality trucks and SUV's, especially years ago, i know the 90's they shined big time. Apparently they'll be making some changes to it that we've never seen, diesel powerplant being one of them.

Welcome to the show, what kind of value do you think you could get for your Tundra on the Rebel?

Same, the styling of them was just classic and had an impact, stood right out from the crowd... you knew it was a Dodge!

My story is a LOT like yours. I had a '99 Dodge and switched to a Ford F150 because Dodge was a little sketchy in 2010. My F150 had 82K miles when I saw the Rebel. I went to the dealer, got a fantastic trade in amount and a great offer on the Rebel. The rest is history.

My wife said "but I thought you were done with Dodge". I explained my opinion, and how I really like the new direction of RAM.....Conversely, I REALLY don't like the direction Ford took with the new F150.

For you, I'd keep an eye on the equity of your Toyota. This might be a prime time to let her go.

Some reason I have a second account here. Weird! Biergott10 is me too.

Anyway, I ended up buying a 2016 Rebel in Black. Absolutely love it. Got 9500 for my Tundra on the trade.
