If you didn't have a Taco...

Money. I would have money.

 

I'd probably still be driving around in my '98 C1500 until the engine blew up, or hell froze over.

 

A burrito, maybe a Mexican pizza or something too.

 

Probably a Frontier or Gladiator since I could get a Manual

 

It was a toss up between a 2nd gen and an STI to replace my 1st gen.

Looking back on it, I think I made the right choice. Might pick up an older STI as a fun car though.

I sold my 2015 STI to get my Tacoma. I miss that car a lot but it just was not very practical for my job.

 

I don't have one anymore haha, but I have a triple locked land cruiser now and a Nissan 300zx to replace the sporty taco feel I don't buy new vehicles, or even recently made ones so I've got my dream vehicles.

 

My buddy got a nice Sierra, that was my consideration. I probably would have tried to look for a 3rd gen Ford Ranger like below.

 

Ranger, Colorado or Frontier. Can’t go any larger than these because of my parkade. Don't need to go any larger because of my towed load.

 

Those are both way more expensive. If I could afford a Raptor, I definitely would. If you were looking in that price range, what was it about the Tacoma that it put it over those options?

 

Stacey's?

 

Kyle's ???

 

New Jeep if I could have gotten up into the JK (in a wheelchair) or a Ranger if they had come out 6 months earlier when I needed an off roadable vehicle. My old jeep is...um...well used, so I didn't feel like trusting it for a trip across state to my hunting area.

 

Either a 4Runner or waiting for the new Bronco.

 

Before we got the Taco, was looking at mostly cars since I also have a older 2wd Ranger for a truck (and still do). Was looking at a Mercedes C43/450 or a BMW 335/340 x-drive car wise. Before considering the truck I was actually looking at a RAM 1500/2500 diesel, but size and my wife comfort in driving a full size truck was not high. That's how we ended up with a Tacoma instead.

I would have just put more money into the Dakota. The V8 was a beast, but the MPG was a killer. I looked at all the mid size truck options and even the Ridgeline, and was not impressed. The Frontier would have been a close second to the Taco, but I would have poured money into the 2005 Dakota before getting a Frontier.

 

Right now? Probably would still have my Mazda 3 Grand Touring Hatchback.

 

Probably a base model Gladiator 6MT.
