    No, was just picking up something for the Tundra and gave it a look.
    It would look a lot better if they blacked out the grill.

    The 'little' trucks are growing up. I parked next to a new Canyon last night and it was damn near the same size as my F150. I was shocked at how close they were. Might as well just buy the Silverado at that point.

    If I were to trade in the Tundra, that would be the truck to get with the Duramax of course. :cool:

    Yeah, the new GM twins are huge for a 'midsize' truck. I haven't seen a new Tacoma yet, but I'm sure that it's sized similarly. My 2nd Gen felt big after I made the swap from my 1st gen.

    I think that the first company to make a truly compact truck again will win, especially if they can keep it basic & cheap. A base model Chevy or Ford fleet truck is over $20 large now; if somebody was to come out with a basic $15k small truck they'd sell a LOT of them to businesses and cheap consumers.

    Everyone seems to hate the grill on the Gen 3 but I think it looks great.

    It was the same size as the 2nd Gen Taco,looked like they slapped a different nose on it

    It looked good in person,just not a fan of the chrome

    I love El Caminos but what would they mash it together with

    I love my new truck but miss my Tacoma
    The 3rd gen Tacoma is the same size as the second gen. All the tracks and wheelbases are the same and all the cabs are the same width. Basically the same truck with new engine and trans that the put new sheet metal and interior in. Oh and they added more high strength steel to the frame but it still has the same basic design (cab mounts look different to me). The new Taco is really a very updated 2nd gen

    That'd go like stink.
    Of course, they could always just import a Holden Maloo if they were going to go that route.

    Can't say it is the best because I have nothing to compare with currently but I'm happy with the work they did for me.

    They have a few different processes. I had the hard wax/oil done. I can't say if there is a legal issue in Mass but doubt it. I sweep my vehicle for loose ammo & firearm related stuff before traveling to/thu just because of their Gestapo laws & enforcement.

    Tomorrow morning I'm picking up my Leer cap in Mass. Time to start the white glove inspection.

    Been doing my research for a few months and finally getting ready to call some local companies for consultations - but wanted some input from anyone here. Anyone have solar on their house?

    A new bill as pushed through in MA that is specifically aimed at letting residential home owners purchase solar equipment through a pretty very affordable 10 year loan. Finding this kinda changed the game for me - instead of leasing them through viviant or solar city, I could purchase them and receive all the incentives and SRECs directly, dump them into the loan and get the thing paid off quicker.

    I had a quick look at my roof done when my neighbor had solar city install his panels, and the contractor that day more or less said my house is an excellent candidate for panels. I feel like there is a major point I am overlooking here though....take my $140/month electric bill, eliminate it with panels, and replace it with a $140/month loan. Seems almost too good to be true. Any input again is definitely appreciated.
