For those thinking an F150 instead of 3rd gen...

I love apple products. The note 7 is a beast (outside of blowing up of course)

This is sent from my iPhone 7

 

Tacoma has cheaper insurance rates because aluminum cost more to repair. F150 has better crash ratings.

 

Its funny people always say VW are terrible I have a 2006 and have yet to have any actual problems (aside from ones I caused with mods)
No electrical issues or anything.

I love my macbook pro.
had the older iphones never liked them. my girlfriend has the 6 its not bad but I still prefer my samsung galaxy s5 to it. Probably going to get the s7 soon once this one breaks.

every broker I've talked to has said cost of repair means nothing for rates its all about safety standards.

And just looked them up on IIHS
Tacoma and F150 are very close for crash test ratings for 2016.

On the topic. Tacoma ranks better than the rest of the midsize market.
Even then I'm not all that surprised the f150 is safer given its larger. So yes you probably are safer in it.
You want safety go buy a Marauder lol

 

I'm not all ways the sharpest tool in the shed, but aren't the taco and th f150 in different "classes" you know mid size vs full size?

 

Nailed it...

 

You shouldn't. If you're looking for a mid size, Ford has turned its back on that segment

 

tool?

Agree currently ford doesn't have a horse in the mid size race. Bring a mid size truck with a manual transmission and I wouldn't love to compare it. Problem is, not many choices currently. I hope the comption steps the "class" up

 

compare it to the colorodo, canyon frontier and ridgeline.
Taco has the best from what I've seen (comparison didn't have ridgeline in it though)

but for nissan and the GM twins toyota is the best one.

 

This is comparing apples to oranges. 2 completely different trucks, as others have mentioned, different classes. Both are great imo but serve different needs. I traded my F150 for a Tacoma so I could fit in the garage. That being said I think the aluminum body of the F150 is pretty awesome. I think more manufactures will be looking at that in the future, as well as more composite plastics.

 

The next generation of Ranger will be out soon, a friend of mine is working tooling for it.

 

Compition is good, keeps every one refining and improving

 

Comparing F150s to Tacomas is like comparing apples.

 

I want a full size truck, most likely in addition to the Tacoma. My concern with the aluminum would be damage from brush and branches on tighter dirt roads / trails. I don't care about pin striping, I just don't want to be caving in body panels.

 

You sure thats not a tomato?

 

By George it is! Maybe. It's so small I can't really tell if just a marble with a green sticker on top.

 

I would have just used a cucumber

 

Did someone say cucumber?

 

Well, I was not expecting that.
