    Didnt know where to put this
    So A week ago I went Shopping for a New Truck after this misshap in my 2000 Tundra

    [​IMG]

    The truck was starting to have some problems. and i was already looking into buying a new truck before i had done that.
    So first i went to my dads toyota dealership to look for a tacoma or tundra but couldnt really find what i was looking for. At first i really did want a tacoma (i think its a great truck) But it was to small for me. and im not to fond of the way the tundra drives. so then i want to my local chevy dealer and ended up coming home with this.

    nice truck.


    difference is that when youre done paying it off it'll be worth 12k, where your tacoma wouldve been worth only 5k less than what you bought it for. good luck man! chevy's havent exactly had the liability award, but as long as you like it!

    nice truck...i think the only way I would have one is if it were diesel. What sucks though, is that truck probably took a huge hit as soon as you drove away. The tacoma has barely lost any value if I wanted to sell

    Either way, he's happy.

    I already know this will be my last toyota. With all the crazy incentives and rebates out right now from chevy/gmc it makes it less painless.

    I think if I ever had to go for a fullsize, based on aesthetics I'd go for the new dodge ram. It has some badass styling, Tundra right behind. Not a fan of GMC or Chevy styling. Never been a fan of boxy wheel wells. But if fullsize is what you need who gives a shit as long as it is capable of its purpose.
