Do you need full coverage on a 12 year old car?

Do I need to keep full coverage on a car if it's paid off? I have a 2009 Toyota Tundra and I want to save money.

“When looking at the cost of car insurance,
liability car insurance
will always be less expensive than full coverage.
If you aren’t concerned about having to repair or replace your vehicle out of pocket if it gets damaged, you can remove full coverage from your policy.
Some people also choose to remove full coverage once the cost to insure the vehicle is more than the value of the vehicle.
If you can’t afford to repair or replace your vehicle, you should keep full coverage, even if the
actual cash value
of your vehicle is lower than the cost of full coverage.
