Nice truck Mike! And a great swap!
Towards the end of last year I finally got a new truck. A 2015 Toyota Tacoma TRD. The truck it replaced was a 2004 Tacoma that i put 239,000 miles on. Sold it to a kid near town here and he is happy as can be with it. Not counting tires i think i spent $480.00 in repairs in 12 years!  Hoping the Toyota tradition carries on.

Wanted a Tacoma but they hold their value so good most that caught my eye I would have ended up with some sort of payment :'(

And I needed a crew cab cause of my kids so that made it tougher.

Nice truck I want a pickup truck, you know a beater to make trips to HD and landscape supply stores easier (to fit my too many impulse buys). 

I love my Subaru Outback, and I think it is one vehicle I will continue to get as long as they keep making them awesome.  Need and love the AWD plus they are pretty economically priced for the features that I want, very few add-ons required. But like you said paid for is the best part, in the words of Randy Moss "straight cash homie!"

Good looking truck.
That would look better in my driveway. :P :P
My old Chevy dually has seen it's best days, but it still does the job when needed.
And as you say, the best part is no payment due.

I agree, but I am partly bias as my mom works for Subaru of America.  When she retires, I think I will still be a proud Subaru owner.  I am on Outback number 2, and overall 3rd Subaru (Legacy was my first Subaru). Excited for my wife to get her first Subaru, a Forester (or Crosstrek) next summer, whichever we get the better deal on.

Nice trade. I have a 2006 Tundra that is fully paid for and hitting 100K miles, hope to put another 100K plus miles on it. Nice not having a payment rocks.
Love to cook and eat

Nice truck!

Nothing like paid for too.  I still drive my 2002 GMC Sierra that I bought new in 2002.  Yes, I would love to have a newer model, but if you take care of a vehicle, they last.  Been paid for for about 11 years and nothing broken, so I just remember what it was like making those $500 payments and then smile & just keep on driving my 02 model.
