It's time for a new truck. I was going to look at a Tacoma, 23mpg as gas prices will probably never be lower plus I have a buddy at Toyota and I can get a good deal (which means more money in the wallet for parts). Problem is what about the buick, it is on the road now but will be down for a rebuild soon. Which means I have to haul her around.
The 07 Tundra looks awesome, but it's 1st year and even if it's Toyota it's still first year. Make me nervous...
I have had a chevy the last 7 years and it's ok. I can't complain really, but the new ones have an air damn 5 - 6 inches off the ground. That isn't going to cut it even in snow let alone if I decide to go play a little. A left over 06 is pretty much the exact same as what I have now...that's no fun!
So what do you guys haul with? Or should I just get the tacoma and worry about hauling it later?
To me it looks like Ford f-150 has no power. The Dodge is ok I have read the fit and finish are sub par, even if they look good.
Or switch to a 3/4 ton, which would more than carry the car. BUT I live only 2 miles from work, which means no diesel because I would kill it short tripping. So that leaves 3/4 gassers which means 12 mpg.
So lets hear some opinions!
