i’ve been there in the same situation, i have an sr5 blazing blue truck and a dealership was giving me a good deal just to trade in for a higher trim trd off road, i was enticed and thought about it for a couple of days and even prayed for it. then i realized i love my truck we’ve been together through ups and downs and nothing wrong about my truck a love it, i wouldn’t trade my for some upgrades. thanks bro for a nice video, i can relate so much

[@DUNEATV]

Dude, you are hilarious. I love your style and delivery! 🙏

[@jeffreydmclendon]

This is why you deserve the word ‘Alpha’ in your username. 💪🏻

[@AlphaShark]

Haha thank you, from time to time I think it's cheesy.

[@erickflores01]

Hello from new Sub! First time I come across your channel. I put in a deposit on a 22 Trd off road 2 months ago. It should be here in a couple of weeks. Look forward to watching your other videos.

[@bigapplevoiceover4830]

Nice Job Gid Bless you!!

[@mistereddottv7927]

Yup! I have a 2021 4x4 SR5 and I love it.. using it for daily drive to work and Home Depot🤣 awesome job…

[@saulochoa9633]

I have the same truck as you! Was on the same boat on debating on trading it. I just installed a set of a new AKKON head light. And got a trd pro grill.

[@offroad9205]

Hello Issac, I had a similar deal presented to me for my 2019 TRD Off-road. I succumbed to the offer and put the proceeds on a new 2022 4Runner TRD Off-road. I am very happy with the4Runner and will never look back. Devine influence went into your decision so I am sure you made the right choice for your needs.

[@AlphaShark]

And no shame in getting a 22' 4Runner either!

[@arizonahdtapia9341]

I recent purchased a 2019 voodoo blue trd pro tacoma and a manual transmission, and it’s the first vehicle I’ve ever purchased and I love it! The off-road capability is incredible it’s the fox shocks make the truck ride like a cloud! But the absolute best part is it’s all under warrantie

[@JIMvc2]

That’s awesome 😎 👏🏻. Congratulations 🥳

"Would I use the money to pay off my college debt?".... No need young fella, the US taxpayer has your back. You go right on making youtube videos....

[@jamiller83]

I bought a 22 trd pro in March. It’s has 3k miles on it now. I’ve been offered 4K over what I paid for it.

[@sky4149]

Awesome video, I completely agree with your mindset here and to be honest you never know the history of the trd, for all you know it has water damage. Also praying about it definitely opens up a larger perspective.

[@diegosiliezar]

I’m glad u keeper the sr5

[@kingdomwarriorsministry3059]

God bless you man that was a great way to land the plane at the end 🙏🏽

Thank you :)

[@Eaglelevel100]

I probably woulda accepted the upgrade opportunity I had been blessed with, especially if I was unlikely to afford a new one for several years. Great video though.

[@AlphaShark]

Funny story 🥴 keep a look out for a video in the next 2 weeks

[@rndsommer40]

Keep it forever and don't second guess it. Picking my TRD Off Rd this Saturday. I'm atleast double your age but I'm keeping this one until it dies.

[@Maximus10092]

You made a wise decision I have a 2021 cement truck trd off road 4x4 6 ft bed I loved it I am keeping it for every man God bless you man… and say a prayer for me too

Excellent decision keeping Thumper!!!

[@CJDiecast]

I had the exact truck as you except a 2021 in Magnetic Grey. I was able to turn my lease in early in order to get the all-new Maverick I ordered. What blew me away was the fact that the dealer offered me $1,000 over sticker for mine, despite having an accident in the history report! That's the market we currently live in. So for the first time in my life, I actually had built-in equity in a vehicle and used it to get most of my down payment money back on my new Ford Maverick Lariat, which I don't regret in the slightest.

[@BrunoSantilli]

Btw, . @AlphaShark I just recently got a 2023 Tacoma TRD Off Road for $35K rather than a TRD pro for $45K ... I guess you saved me $10K Sir.

[@zzanatos2001]

The first brand new vehicle I ever bought was a silver 2004 Toyota 4Runner Sport, and I'm still driving it every day. If Toyota ever releases the next generation 4Runner, I might be ready to trade up.

[@AlphaShark]

Hopefully for the 2024 model year it looks like they're planning to!

[@thinkingoutloud3470]

I love Tacomas but is time for an interior update. They look outdated on the inside.

[@natem4992]

I’m got so jealous when I heard what you payed for your Tacoma. Im looking to buy a mid size truck now and keep it around $30,000 that’s at least 2019 with less than 35,000 miles and it’s impossible in the current market.

[@skoolynugenator1802]

Hold out. I have a feeling the market will be cheap by this time next year. Or if you are willing to wait and don’t mind a low trim you could order one for 35.

[@thescentsophisticate8865]

Nothing is impossible!!

[@threadoflife]

Amen brotha wise decision beautiful trucks I’m about to pick up a 2019 TRD pro with 14,819 original miles for 39k hopefully I’m making a good decision.

[@Steven-xj2rf]

I probably would have upgraded to the PRO. The Black on black looks killer.

[@phillipmennor2585]

I'll go with my 2021 SR5 Trail Edition over a TRD Pro any day of the week. In the end the best Taco to get is the one that best fits your needs!

[@samfromalbuquerque7235]

Great Video. I subscribed and I'll be watching. I'm a TRD Off-Road driver and a Christian who needs to be "brought back closer" Keep it up !

[@2is_Gaticuh]

I have a 2001 tundra, I wouldn’t take a 2022 TRD pro taco. Only reason for me is because I’d be downgrading engine wise. Would go from a V8 that has modified parts to a V6. You however, despite what you said I would without doubt take the TRD pro over the sr5 or srs whatever it was called. But that’s just my opinion, bless up bro

[@Doomzdayxx]

Dude anybody with brains would take a 01 Tundra over a 22. Those things are tanks. It will still be on the road by the time the 22 goes to the crusher

Dont worry joe will take care of uour college debt💩

[@techguy5601]

I glad you keep your original truck that God has bless you with. I feel the same way about my vehicles. I do all of the repairs to them, every time I get done repairing them, I just want to take care of them that much more. Because I remember how painful they can be to repair sometimes. My vehicles have helped me get closer to God through his helping through tuff times and appreciation for what you have. I think you should keep a vehicle if it is problem free or general maintenance issues. The time to get rid of a vehicle is when the maintenance costs yearly equal new vehicle payments for a year. Thanks!! for all of your great Bible verses and car/truck reviews. Here is a verse I wanted to share also: Psalms 55:22 NIV Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken.

[@brendachambers5344]

Thanks for the Bible verse , I ‘ll pray for you

[@4runner510]

Good decision

[@donaldhenderson3495]

Isaac, how could you give up a black truck? Think about all the great reasons to buy a black vehicle. You have to get special wax, they show dirt, scratches and I guess those aren't really good reasons. You made a great decision on keeping your truck. Proverbs 3: 4-6

[@sungjeh]

I hate to say this but if I got that kind of an offer compared to what I bought my tacoma for, I would probably accept it and go with a gas efficient car because of the gas prices right now.

[@AlphaShark]

That's totally fair!

[@adamharris2674]

Y’all can call me a troll if you want, but I don’t know how folks deal with these tacos. Underpowered minivan engine. Special needs transmission. Seating position perfect for an anorexic 11 year old girl. Price tags that would make Bill Gates review his checkbook before purchasing, even before everything went to crap. Ranger is a Much better option. Yes it is just as well-built and long lasting as a taco and much more fun!

[@Bwilly04091]

Ranger trash lol

[@AlphaShark]

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, as over-exaggerated as some may be. My concern with the Ranger would be how long that turbo holds up. I hope it lasts a long time! I genuinely do.

[@adamharris2674]

@@AlphaShark lol I’m just being dramatic. I did get an Included 20 yr 200k mile powertrain warranty when I bought my 2020 FX4 Supercrew Ranger, no additional cost. 2.3 Cleveland is a gem of an engine. Chances are Turbo will be just fine. Taco owners bout to find out bout dem turbos next year…
