i agree with the others, if you like the truck then keep it. 100,000 mile on an 06 taco? its hardly broken in. i have an 05 grand marquis, also known for longevity, with 130,000 on the clock and it is still going strong.
We have a 1999 Tacoma with 130,000. It has lots of years left. We had to have the starter replaced recently but it runs great. But, buy whatever you want. Your truck should sell fast in Utah.
Mechanics and car people, what should I replace my Tacoma with?
I have a 2006 Toyota Tacoma with 103000 miles on it. I replaced the alternator recently as it went out. I need to replace a warped rotor before I sell it. I live in Utah and i typically take my dog somewhere on weekends so it needs to have 4 doors. Right now I cant justify having a truck with 2 inch lift and 33 inch tires. I seriously off road only about 2 maybe 3 times a year. Even then I figure I can just rent a utv. I'd like to have the same reliability with room for my dog. So I've considered the Lexus is/gs 350, Subaru outback 3.6 or forester xt, dodge charger, honda civic si manual, honda accord v6 manual, and maybe a wrx but insurance might be too much. If you have experience or recommendations with those let me know. Thanks. 20k to 30k budget.

I live in Utah and i typically take my dog somewhere on a trail on weekends. Sometimes rock crawling in moab. I dont know if this is enough to justify a truck with 2 inch lift and 33 inch tires though? I seriously off road like only 2 maybe 3 times a year. I'd like to have the same reliability with room for my dog and maybe mild off roading. So I've considered the Lexus is/gs 350, v8 4runner, jeep wrangler, and Subaru outback 3.6 or forester xt. If you have experience or recommendations with those let me know. Thanks. 20k to 30k budget.
None of those cars will hold a candle to your Tacoma.
I just had my 06 Taco stolen back in May. Its a base model 4 cyl/manual trans with 312,000 and the insurance company gave me $6500. These trucks you can really beat on and they will still last a long time. I ended up buying a 2011 for $9600 with less than 100K on it. Not bad if you consider how many miles the other one had. They just hold their resale value well and the truck just keeps running.
There is no justification other than you are willing to spend money to get what you want.
