    TBH I probably wouldn't get another truck if I didn't have the taco as few things actually appeal to me in the market. I'd probably find some old beater of any make just to haul shit around... and call it a day with a subaru wrx daily.

    If I couldn't buy a Tacoma, I'd try to build one. If that failed I'd buy another Sierra.

    I would get the latest model frontier. They do got more power than these tacos.
    Had a late model one and rode it till the wheels fell off. So now im in a "taco taco, burrito Taco.."

    I like the First Gen Tundras actually.. I think they're about the same size as the current Tacoma.. My dad has a friend who runs a car lot, and he had a black Tundra that I was in love with.. I couldn't afford it at the time though... But all the better, got a brand new truck instead..
    I probably would've went with a Colorado if I hadn't have gotten the Taco... glad I got the Taco.. lol

    It's funny that people are so excited that the "5.0" is coming back. It's still a modular motor, but now it's got 20 more cubic inches. Ford is smart as hell with their marketing.

    I would get another Titan.

    Probably some Honda.

    Also i don't get the Raptor. Unless you are recreating the chases from road warrior, i don't see the point. It's not really a mud truck and it weighs like an elephant. It's automatic as well.

    The new four runners are nice but I don't have use for a family vehicle at this point. :)

    If you are talking anything but Toyota (FJ, Tundra, 4Runner)...then I would go with a black 6" lifted Avalanche running 35's. You don't see too many with a lift and they look sharp when done well.

    I drive a 5 lug Taco and get up to 25 on the highway. That is about 50% better than a full sized truck with V-8. Driving 20,000 miles per year that is a significant difference.
