Just need advice on which route one should take! TIA!

 

Welcome from LA (Lower Alabama)!

 

Any opinion? I like the 13, theres no accidents and clean

 

You need picks of the undercarriage for the 2013. The 2018 seems ok. 42k for a 26k mile truck is decent from what I have seen.

2018 I believe is widely considered the sweet spot for this truck. You keep the trans cooler, get the safety gadgets and have the led lighting.

 

keep in mind those prices are CAD, so the 2013 is about $18k USD

 

Oh crap, I only converted the mileage. 18k seems legit if the truck has no rust. You can put 5k of maintenance into it doing everything under the sun and have a solid truck.

Make sure to put some Rock Warrior rims on it too.

 

Canada is US rust belt x2.

 

So should i go with the 18? its got 117,000 kms so 72,000 miles for 43,000 Cad

 

You really need to sneak under both and see the rust yourself. Even 2018 may be past the mark. If the 2013 owner was undercoating it regularly, it will be a better purchase long term. See the frame with your own eyes.

Owning Gen 2 Sequoia and Gen 2.5 Tundra, I prefer 2.5 for interior and 2 for engine compartment access. Otherwise, pretty much the same vehicle.

 

ok sounds good, Yeah they are in toronto and im 8 hours away. I know both were undercoated because i looked at carfax and talked to both of them. The only thing with the 18 was that it was newer and lower milage. Just wasnt sure if 42,000 plus taxes was worth it. But i figure i could get alot of milage out of it

 

You will get a lot of mileage from both of them. Engine lasts to 1M miles and more, transmission to 0.5M (and I bet it lives longer with regular ATF drain&fill).

 

ok thank you! So id probably be better with the 18 then because its relatively newer

 

'18 1794 will come with the aux trans cooler and TSS = cross traffic alert, adaptive cruise, etc. Also will have cooled seats.
