    F150 is a nice truck. Not a fan of the lift or wheels on that particular one.

    tacoma has its ups and downs, as well ford. it depends what you want out of it. more compact, lasts a long time, and easily modified i would go with tacoma, but if you want more power, more towing capability, and maybe better gas mileage, go with ford, but it won't last as long as tacoma. plus i think ALL Ford trucks are ugly.

    Unless your only truck requirement is for it to fit in your too small garage.

    Pickup trucks don't belong in a garage.

    In contrast, I'd buy 10 F150s before I bought a single GM product, and I have driven Chevrolet (and own one currently) since I was a kid. Diesel and gas.

    I went from a 2010 dcsb taco to a 2012 Dodge Ram lifted 4x4...biggest mistake. Tried to make all kinds of excuses why I needed a full size. Here I am back into a 2015 taco. Keep in mind Toyota holds higher resale value than ford. Just my .02

    If you need a bigger truck and it's not a ridiculous amount than do it. I love my taco and at times need a bigger truck especially for towing but I don't do it often to justify it. Once I get my taco the way I want then it's a DURAMAX for me :crapstorm:

    A loaded 4 horse trailer with 4 horses is over Tacoma tow capacity, I would think.

    does turning tires to black wall out count? How bout added snug top rebel.
    F150 looks great, Tacoma looks great, I know I wouldn't mind some extra interior room, but I don't want the extra exterior size. Tough decisions
