    Hello all. I am reading up on the new Tacomas. I currently drive a 08 Chevy 2500 with the duramax. I am trying to decide if I want to make the switch back to a gasser. I bought my Chevy new in 08 and it only has 81k miles on it. I have put a lot of time and money into it and it runs VERY well. It will be a very tough decision but I am liking the Tacos as you call them.

    Seriously? Why?

    The dmax gets better mpg and is paid for.

    About the only advantage will be parking.

    Oh, and being a Tacoma owner from Midland, welcome.

    Welcome aboard! :thumbsup:

    My vote would be to keep the dirtymax and get a taco as well.. :burnrubber: not sure if that would work for you though!

    Well, I can't judge.
    I have 2 Tacomas and a Tundra and there are only 2 drivers in my household.

    If you are financially secure, have retirement accounts locked down, then treat yourself to a Tacoma.
