If you weren't going to get a tacoma, what would you get?

turned into a pretty good thread

 

informative! but if not taco then raptor

 

I bought a Frontier Pro-4x king cab a year ago and love it. 4.0L and 6spd are phenomenal, performance and fuel economy have exceeded my expectations. The whole truck has exceeded my expectations really, after a year with it I have no idea why I bought a 2nd gen Tacoma on the first place.

 

I test drove the Frontier when I was looking. Maybe the Pro4x is better, but the interior was small and the truck just felt heavy. It seemed pretty solid overall though, and I could have had one fully decked out with 4x4 and leather for 28k (they had one 2014 still on the lot marked down). I don't think I would have been disappointed if I went with it.

 

What happened to your 16

 

never planned on getting a Tacoma, had a 99 corolla 250,000 miles all beat up thought I needed something newer and more power and wrecking my 2005 green 636 kawi a truck would be a great idea did have in mind a Gmc Sierra Denali but smart decision w my new Toyota

 

The lesser trim levels don't appeal to me as much. Compared to the Tacoma I do prefer the more compact size. It was a leap into the great unknown having owned Toyota 4x4s exclusively in the past, I am not disappointed in the Nissan one bit!

 

Nissan Titan. Had an '07 for 6 years...best truck I've owned. Was hoping to get the new completely redesigned Titan, but the release kept getting delayed. Pathfinder lease was up, needed a new truck right away. No exact date on the new TItan. The new Tacoma caught my eye and here I am. Only had my truck a few weeks. Too early to tell just how much I will like it. So far some set backs, but not too bad.

Jeep Wrangler

 

As a guy that has a Raptor.. Buy the extended warranty lol.

If I put 5-6k into my Tundra..it would have been pretty awesome. The pathetically small fuel tank was a deal breaker tho.

The Raptor does have some pretty slick electronics, rear locker and front LSD so it's a tough comparison

 

Been driving Z-71s for 20 years. My current truck has 170,000 miles on it and runs and drives just like brand new. Never done any major repairs at all. Every time I drive it, it makes me wonder why I'm waiting 4 months to spend $35K on a mini truck. So, my answer would be another Silverado 1500 Z-71.

 

FJ cruiser trial team edition

 

Never really considered anything else... this is my 3rd Tacoma and 6th Toyota in total.
Might have considered a Jeep pickup if it was available and had a manual transmission.

I must have drank the koolaid...

 

1. F-150
2. 4Runner
3. Wait for the 2017 Ford Ranger (or whatever they're going to call it).

 

That little voice is telling you to keep what you have.

Listen to it.

 

Damn you, Larry!

 

Or the new ford bronco

 

Nissan killed the Xterra.

 

The new Ranger looks pretty darn interesting.
