    the raptor looks like it's trying too hard to be a cool truck. maybe it is, but for 50 large...I'll never know.

    It's dark grey like MGM ...black leather interior, heated and cooled seats fully loaded. Msrp is 51k. I got a lot better price. I think it looks best in black, it's an incredible black metallic. Looks amazing, but black is way too high maintenance for me.

    Now just need to sell the tacoma or the stealership gets to make some profit off my baby. Wish some one on here would buy it so I know it gets a good home :)

    Hah! Sweet truck but not for me. It screams I need attention and I don't. That and I wouldn't want that mileage.

    Nope the truck I picked is absolutely perfect.

    I just traded a 2011 F-150 4 DOOR XLT 4X4 with the EcoBoost for a 2013 TRD Sport 4x4 because I work at Toyota. I put 14k miles on that ford and really liked it.

    1> It had serious power
    2> It was a smooth truck
    3> LOTS of room.
    4> Got better gas milage than the Tacoma I bought ( by a long shot)

    But

    1> It was a bitch to park in my garage
    2> My wife had a hard time parking it in parking lots
    3> Uuuuummmm thats it.

    The Taco

    1> Its easy to drive around
    2> Has a kick ass stereo and nav
    3> gets shitty gas milage
    4> Seems pretty solid
    5> Is under powered for a truck that gets shitty gas milage anyway THIS TRUCK NEEDS A 6TH GEAR BAD
    6> Its probably the best looking Tacoma on the lot.
    7> I just kinda like Tacomas

    What Ford engine is it that uses spark plugs the look like glow coils and are famous for breaking when removed. My mechanic bought a special Snap-On tool for the extraction. I also understand that a plug changes at shops are very pricey. :notsure:

    What he said. And you live in Idaho where everyone drives big a** diesel trucks and maneuver just fine. If you lived in Hawaii I would understand because they have annoyingly small parking spots and parking garages that are just way to small.
