    I had no idea the Chevy Colorado can come stock with a 5.3l V8.
    I do believe i may have to go test drive one of these. Why in the hell can't Toyota follow suit?

    The tacoma is too big as it is IMO, no need for a V8.

    Besides the 2012 Tacos fully loaded are in the 40K range so you have no real point there.

    Modding is most of the fun. Buying something that everyone else has, for an exorbitant amount of money is no fun.

    Even if that is the case that a new Taco is $30K, i would rather pay the extra 5k and get a moon roof, and V8, nav and all the other goodies Toyota doesn't offer.
