    Another Tacoma. A DC sport this time. 129,000 miles on a 2nd gen and no problems, how could you not buy another one. I have never owned a vehicle that wasn't in the shop multiple times before 100k miles. Until I bought a Toyota.

    I have first hand experience with something like this. I went from a 2007 tacoma TRD Sport 4wd. which got stolen Jan 2009. Never found. Month or 2 later I found a 07 4Runner SR5 4WD. So I went from a tacoma to a 4Runner

    Relentless Armored! Too many others to list.
    If my truck wasnt too horribly wrecked Id buy it back and make a hardcore wheeler out of it. Then I'd consider either another tacoma, but a Double Cab TRD OR auto and possibly LB, or a tundra DC SB 5.7 TRD, or a dodge Cummins 4 door short bed w/offroad package.

    I'd get another Ex. cab 4X4. Maybe another color, this one is my second Impulse red one. I'd probably also stick with the SR5 package instead of the TRD.

    Asteroid/meteor is an irrelevant option

    If something like that happened I'd probably get another Taco.

    bone stock save for the block lift that came on it with the open country m/t.
    another taco, I would probably get a regular cab, 4x4 4banger, or at least it sounds good.

    Oh and the point of this poll is just to get an idea of what you all think about the overall of have a Tacoma. Plus I thought I'd be fun for some of us. Id get another Tacoma, but maybe the TRD Sport
