SR5 has everything a person needs in a truck and nothing they don't. Save the $7k for paying off your current truck and modding it.

I am a fan of simplicity, so enjoy the SR5 trim level.

Even when I get into my wife's 2020 Rav, I'm overwhelmed with the dual climate, digital readings and bells and whistles. I'll take the large climate knobs and vents over hers any day. As for sunroof and leather seats, I'm in WPG where it's -30 for 1/2 the year, so have never owned them and guess I don't know what I'm missing.

Man I sound old.

My personal opinion is that the Limited goodies arent worth an extra $7k.

Well he is also getting a newer truck with 23000 less miles on it.

I wish my double cab had the power rear window (just the slider part would be fine by me if not the whole roll down thing). Heated leather seats would be nice where I live. leather wheel? meh. Push button start isn't that big of a deal for me. 20K less miles on almost the same truck would be sweet but the 100k powertrain warranty on a CPO is tough to beat vs the 36k factory on the new truck. You're gonna want better tires than the stockers anyway so thats a push. The apple carplay would be a nice upgrade too, but not a necessity for me.

If they give you the 100k powertrain warranty included in that 7k I'd go make the swap today.

60000 powertrain warranty (not 36000)

I just looked up my value and I'm so happy I'm no longer upside down in my loan to value. Back in May I was in a Mercedes E350 that was depreciating just by looking at it. I stopped the bleeding in May and found my Truck and I can gladly say I'm no longer upside down. I say go with what makes you feel good. Either way you will have a truck that will hold it's value. I plan to keep my truck until my kid starts to drive then she can have it. I have about 4 years.

For a million mile truck I don’t care about miles

Have the chance to trade in my 2019 SR5 Tundra with 23k miles for a 2020 Tundra with the Limited Premium Package with 2 miles and MSRP of $49,300. I have a 2019 Tundra with the SR5 and TRD Off Road package I picked up back in Jan 20 for $35k even with 7400 miles on it and MSRP of $42,300. It was a certified used and came with a 6yr/100k powertrain warranty. Previous owner was the KS Speedway. It was one of their pace cars and a demo and lot car so I imagine it wasn't driven all so lightly over the first 7400 miles of it's life. I've put over 15k on it and have towed our pontoon to the lake and back every weekend in the summer. Treat it pretty good overall and really have no reason to get rid of it. I owe $19k on the note. When I bought it I was kind of in a bind as I had a crazy $8,500 offer on a 2003 Tahoe that I figured was only worth $5k so I took it and this was the first Tundra I saw and thought the price was good and liked the color so grabbed it.

I didn't ask the dealer about getting a trade price on mine or sale price on the new. Told them I wanted a new loan on a new vehicle to be $24k which would essentially be $5k to trade my used for a brand new. They came back and won't budge on a $26k new note, a $7,000 difference. So is it worth $7,000 to trade a used SR5 in for a new Limited???

With the crazy price of used trucks and having a second car to drive I thought maybe I'd sell it outright as the KBB value is almost $40k. I put up and ad on FB, Craigslist, Cars.com and Autotrader.com, and priced it for $38,500. No real hits yet in over a week. If this Tundra was on the lot back in January I probably would have got it instead. It's a 2020 Limited with the premium package.

What this will get me over my SR5 is:
Higher retailing truck which should mean higher resale, $49k vs $42k.
Leather heated seats - I have cloth now. Thought I would be happy but they stain very easy.
Leather steering wheel. Stupid but I don't have one. Really miss the one I had in the Tahoe.
Climate control - dual zone. SR5 has hot/cold high/low single zone dials. I thought I would like the simplicity but I'm constantly playing with it to keep temps the same.
Remote start - Wife's Pilot, my Scag Vride and Honda Rancher take up our 2 car garage so I park outside all year. Temps are 0-100 degrees. Remote start would be a huge plus
Push button start. I'm fine with the SR5's key start
Keyless entry. With the SR5 I need to use the fob to get in and out. Limited has it where you touch the door handles to lock and unlock. Kind of neat.
Power rear sliding window. SR5 does not have one and I have to crawl back to open/close it. I like to run around with windows down so would use the a lot.
Power auto up/down windows. SR5 only has driver's side auto up/down.
Blind spot and rear traffic monitors. Never had them so not too concerned.
Better radio. SR5 radio sucks.

I would also be getting 5 free oil change/tire rotations which are about $100 a pop.
I'd also be getting new tires on a new vehicle. My current tires have about 10k of life left and a new set runs around a grand.
I have a chip in my windshield now. That would be gone.
I have a bad 4 inch scratch over the rear wheel well. That would be gone.
Dealer will let me keep my TRD rear sway bar and all weather mats on the new truck.
Going on a day trip tomorrow to Arkansas and back. Dealer said an extra thousand miles won't matter on the trade in.
Insurance goes up a whole $48/year

I know I should sell private party because I'll get more than trading in but I can't find another Tundra with this package within 500 miles. In KS I only pay sales tax on the trade difference of $7,000. If I sold private party I would have to convince them to let me take them to a dealer and then convince the dealer to let them take the SR5 in as a "trade" and resell it to the private party buyer to save on the sales tax. If I sold it outright and didn't do that I would be hosed on sales tax, to the tune over over $4,000.

I have the weekend to think about it.

Here's what I currently drive. MSRP was $42,300.

Do it !

LA184 · Sep 18, 2020

7k gets you a lot in an SR5. You can get re-geared, a rear locker, maybe a lift and new tires. However, it's your cash at the end of the day, and if you got it, and want to spend it, do it

It's not the trade in or price of the new that matters to me. It's the balance of my loan. My new balance will be $7,000 more. So they could have given me 40k on the trade and charged 47k on the new one or given me 33k on the trade and charged 40k on the new one. Only thing that matters is the difference between what I owe now and what I will owe if I get it, $7,000 more.

The payment will be higher as well. $17 -20 per every 1,000 financed.

GOT ONE!

2020 Tundra DC Limited, white. Local dealer had one just in. They gave me a $3,900 difference in price. My trade was $39,800 and their sale price was $43,700. I think that's a HELL of a deal. They also are going to swap out my TRD rear sway bar and step bars on my old and install on the 2020.

Congrats on the new ride. And remember, no matter what we all think, YOUR opinion and happiness with your vehicle is what matters the most.

McCrapper · Sep 21, 2020

good move.

Gene5253 · Sep 21, 2020

Nice choice and love the Super White

But why is your rear bumper chrome??? No BSM.

WrigglingWilly · Sep 21, 2020

The new Tundras are just a few decades away, just wait it out. Plus, In 3 months the 2021 models will make you feel outdated again like you do now.

$3,900 and you have a new drive. Congratulations!
