Get another minivan unless you really need a 4x4. Everything you can do in a crew cab you can do in a minivan and be more comfortable. till the coon warm up a little and farts start sneakin out.

I had a big boar coon wake up inside a Ramcharger going down the road once. That is a rude awakening for sure.

I checked out that Tacoma in Medford but it is a salvaged title with what the owner says are symptoms of a head gasket leak.
My wife is nudging me hard towards the new Nissan because she hates riding shotgun in old worn out vehicles. LOL
The main thing I don't like about it is the 5 1/2 ft bed.

I bought a new 2018 Nissan Frontier crew cab 4x4 last year. So much easier to get in and out of and reach stored stuff than the F150 I traded. I think you will like the Nissan. Should have some warranty left too with the miles you stated. Yes, they are stating I'll get 100,000 miles worth.

unless I needed 4x4 or and open bed , I would get a van especially since it is your money maker on market day.
mini vs full size price difference is minimal and the full lets you haul more cargo and pull a trailer. you pay some in gas but also can last longer also got 17 years out of my van
the truck was nice for hauling firewood when I had and open bed but when I got rid of my van I needed the dry storage for tools and such and put a topper on the truck now it is as a 2wd truck a less convenient to access smaller cargo space un heated un-air conditioned cargo area van.
I am back to hauling wood on my 14 foot utility trailer.
i got a good deal on the truck from my brother but if I was looking as uncool as a van is to most people it is so practical for what your doing with market.
a friend got a cube van E350 chassis with a box and overhead door in the back , that he takes to market now like a small u-haul down side is cargo area is still not heated or a/c but can you stack the totes in there

Well, I guess Boco don't need to question my sexual orientation no more. Bought the Frontier. Guess I'll have to pitch a tent on extended outings now.

Yes, way outta range on the Tacoma. I just bought an 08 Tacoma with 120 kmiles for 5,500$. I'd definitely be shopping around before I pulled the trigger. Good luck

when you buy a topper for it make sure to get side windows that open up it makes getting stuff out much easier and so much more of your cargo space can be used
my mom talked my dad out of the side windows on his new topper , she thought screens would be better , she is to short to ever get anything out of the side any way to understand why paying extra for side windows that open.
had one on my 99 f150 on the drivers side , regretted not spending the cash and getting 2 side opening windows
my current topper I have less than 50 dollars in so I live with the lack of opening windows for easy access
