    I like my Prerunner. I just traded in my 4x4 Tundra and found that after living in Seattle for over a year, I never used the 4 wheel drive. I use the same with thought process with my clothes, if I haven't worn an item within 12 months, then I don't need it. So when offered the choice of 4x2 and 4x4, I went with 4x2, not to mention it is 1 mpg more efficient and these days, every bit counts.

    I've got a Prerunner, because I am giving my truck to my mom after about 4 months of ownership because I am deploying. When I get back I will get a 4x4 and hopefully they will have diesel.

    You got that backwards.... It's 2 gallons/mile. :D

    However, it'd be nice in rush hour traffic or dealing with idiots that don't know how to drive. :devil:

    I though it was, but I dont think so. It has air brakes, and dual tires on the rear axel's, and a Detroit 2 stroke turbo deisel. A duece and a half is a 2.5 ton truck, right?
    I thought so. :eek:

    Does it come with a missile launcher? I push my button all the time in my tacoma, but they must be duds. 45 in the left lane of the interstate is unacceptable. When evryone around them is doing 70+. Go for missiles!!! Where is Missileman when you need him? :eek:

    I appreciate you helping out and all, but wtf did they expect after building a city in a bowl below sea level? :confused: Seriously, did anyone NOT see that coming if they thought about it for a second? To hell with building flood walls, dams, canals, etc, etc, etc.... Just raise the damn city above sea level! :laugh:
