    TW,

    I have a confession.

    I've thought - long and hard - and the Tacoma just isn't for me.

    Before you hate, allow me to explain.

    For one, there's the gas mileage. Having a utility-based vehicle, I was expecting at least 32 mpg on the highway; I'm lucky to see returns of 22. I even went so far as to install a K&N Cold Air Intake (no expense spared) and running premium fuel, and that didn't even help???

    Also, there's the looks of the thing. Granted, the "Taliban Tan" special color I chose is remarkable at times. But the body lines? Gross. The grille? Way too big. And the rear end? Don't even get me started.

    What's more, there's the reliability. Why would truck owners want to go through life without worrying about breaking down? Keeps you vigilant and keeps spontaneity alive, I say.

    With all that being said, I think I've finally found my dream vehicle.

    It has the looks, the functionality, and unparalleled style. Meet my new Chevy!

    So proud to have an American truck.

    Quick question. What size tires can I have stock that won't rub? Lift needed? Thanks.

    I was composing my response until I saw the upgrade

    Then I realized.


    I mean, the body lines comment was a huge red flag

    This is either the biggest troll ever or you are blind in one eye and blurry in the other because the sticker on the truck states much less than 32 mpg and that yellow thing is well...... compared to the Tacoma. Nice try though lol

    Hey, I'm right there with you regarding my Tacoma. It makes noises after I push the start button and I can't seem to resolve it.

    This. I’m still considering a full on boycott of worldwidecyclery.com for the feeble attempt of “were going out of business hurr hurr hurr” their owner is such a fucking pussy too.

    Op almost had me triggered tho

    I would love to see the person who designed that hideous thing. Probably so proud of it’s self.

    So many people had to sign off on that design.

    It was in no way just one persons fault
