I know we all love Tacos, that's why we are on here, but my dad was skeptical about me putting money and effort into fixing my old Taco/Buying a new one in addition.

Time to convince him with independent sources, anyone got any good sources for reviews/ratings of the first Gen (especially '96) Tacos that I can quote him?

Also, IS there any better mid 90's 4X4 small/mid pickup in terms of durability, maintenance and reliability? Perhaps I am too biased.
