[quote=Sbrown] Tacoma!! [/quote Just curious what people haul in the bed of a truck that small?
I like to do my hunting BEFORE I pull the trigger! There is only one kind of dead, but there are many different kinds of wounded.

Tacoma's ain't for hauling. NOTHING can touch them for dependability and off-road performance. Nothing more...nothing less.

All bullshit aside, when I'm looking for a "new" truck, I watch the want-adds and car dealerships for the right buy on a used vehicle. The truck I drive now was 12 years old when I bought it.

I WISH Toyota would make a pickup that could legitimately compete with an F350.
Seriously.

Seriously. Or just offered a diesel in something other than a HINO.

Seriously. Right? It would be cool to take oil leaks seriously (or not), wouldn't it?

I'd take a gas engine provided the suspension/drivetrain was up to the task of actually hauling or pulling something...

Had a kid texting and driving hit my 2016 F150 broadside about a month ago. I ended up trading my wrecked truck on a new one and could've went any direction I wanted too but went with the exact same truck (2016 Ford F150 2.7L ecoboost, super crew, 4x4,XLT). I like Tacomas too but the rust/corrosion issues really need to be resolved before I buy another Toyota.....

I'd have, without a second thought, gone with Toyota if they offered the CrewMax cab with a bed more than 5.5'. What are they thinking? I had a T-100 and a Tundra, each for 10 years without any problems.
In the end, I ended up with a Ram, and 2 of the first 4 months with it were in the shop waiting (and waiting) for a fuel gauge that worked. Very frustrating - I can't begin to tell the lies and stupidity I was shown.

Seriously. Can you imagine how oversize & butt-ugly it would be? And, how terrible the mileage would be?

Most all of the Hot Shot drivers I am in contact with have had their interior wiring harness fried due to undersize conductors unable to carry the current draw as soon as they turned on their headlight switch with a gooseneck attached.

I will/am in the market for new truck. Have a 2006 F 150 that has been good. Looked at other makes and models, I keep coming back with a new F150, have considered F250, Tundra, Tacoma, Dodge and Chevy.
Love the F250 but is more than I really need.
I have had great luck with Toyota cars. Tacoma is just to small, I think for me and the things I pull around, nothing major but want a little more size for stability as well as loading things in the bed. I looked at the Tundra also but just don't like the look and I know they have to do a new body style soon to stay relevant but have not come out with it yet. So if I buy the Tundra I get the old body style without the discount and won't look current long.
Dodge, just have not had much experience with Mopar products so I am leary to jump in on a truck that needs to last 10+ years.
Chevy's ride good but have not heard much good about them off road. My Dad was a chevy guy and liked them better than any other truck, so they could be a consideration.
I just keep coming back to wait for the refresh 2018 F 150, actually would buy the 2017 but have always disliked the current snout on the thing. Glad they are doing the refresh.

after the fiasco with my 05 1500 ram, i would never, ever own another dodge. my fords have been good trucks. not perfect, but good. never owned a chevy. i think if you plan on buying a dodge, you better plan on getting rid of it at about the 6 year or 80k point.
