Hypothetically let's say there's a 2008 with 80,000 miles and a 2013 with 140,000 - same condition, same package/options, and both priced at $17,000. Which one is going to be a better value and less trouble over 10 years/125,000 miles.
Little about myself: First time poster here and looking to get my first (used) Tundra. Biggest priority to me is reliability... nothing worse than spending time and money on vehicle repairs! Reliability and confidence is what has led me down the Tundra rabbit hole. The truck will be my daily driver and also used on fishing/hunting/camping trips pulling a relatively light boat or trailer. I'll put on 10,000 - 15,000 miles per year mix of highway and in town driving, so pretty average for a DD. I'd like to keep the truck for at least 10 years.
Price range is $15,000-$20,000 (lower is better) and I'm set on a 2nd gen DC (gotta have that 6.5') with 5.7 and 4WD. I'm in no rush to buy so plenty of time to find the right truck/deal, but for equal condition/price do I go with an older truck with low miles or a newer truck with high miles?
