im in the market for a truck.. thinkin tacoma
ok heres the deal. my dad has an old mazda that is a total pos. it needs just about everything. i rebuild the engine for him recently but it still needs a carb(300bucks) and a radiator. its overheating and he has to drive 20 miles to work. i drive a 1/4 mile to work. he loves my mercedes and hes the one i got it from. hes in no place to have a car payment, so im gonna give him the mercedes back and finance a truck. i have done alot of looking and i really want a tacoma. i test drove a f150 today. it drove great the clutch was smooth and it shifts so smooth. but i really like the tacoma's. i guess what im asking is for opinions on what to buy. i wont buy anything gm or chrysler. so suggestions please

Ford suspension is setup better to do truck stuff, haul and such, off road things like that. But it'll be less comfortable than the toyota. Everyone I know likes whatever they have, and the ones with toyotas have different uses than the Ford guys. Personally, I would go with a Dodge because Cummins has to be better at making a diesel than the other guys, GM's are lame, but the Japanese haven't been making full-size trucks long enough to win me over, and they dont even offer a diesel that I'm aware. However, the new Toyota trucks do look pretty nice. Which is why I'd never own one, given the things I use a truck for.

Dont get a dodge with an auto, Dodge sucks at building transmissions.
4x4 will cost you around 20%mpg, so dont bother unless you need it I'd never own a toyota truck, arent they minivan based? They do make damn nice minitrucks, but not a fullsized one that I could drive. ~Nate

Have you looked at 4Runners? They seem pretty nice. And up here every off-road enthusiast is looking for a nice used one that's never been used off-road, so I understand their re-sale values are pretty high...

i dislike chrysler. they have alot of electrical problems. 4x4 cost way too much for insurance. the tacoma is a mid size truck.

Werd, You'll be glad you got the 4X4, especially when it comes time to sell it.
I have a 2000 TRD KING CAB, it has 97k on it now, and NOTHING has gone wrong! I replaced the timing belt/water pump at 80K just as a precautionary. Other than that I change the oil and fluids every once in a while. I haven't even had to change a light bulb on this truck and it's almost at 100K. Congrats, and good decision!!
