Our Tacos have gotten so dang phat

The old rangers are great.

 

I rather buy a side by side that was owned by bros vs. dealing with a Mahindra product.

 

Truth.

 

178” for the shortest 01 Tacoma to 212” for the shortest 17 Tacoma.

I get the deletion of regular cab. Just sayin shortest available.

 

Something similar built by Toyota would be great.

 

Wasn’t that a joint venture with Mazda?

 

My truck feels like a go kart.



It's awesome.

 

The Mazda b truck appeared to be a rebadged ranger.

 

I'm getting this one next...

 

Aka literally THE WORST

I mean. Some are still running. But who wants a ford rebadged Mazda truck? Like omg

 

I would totally get one if they made a decent camper shell for it


Seriously I’d drive around to all the derdge owners I know be all like “dur hurr get a real truck, pussy”

“See how stupid that sounds when you’re an idiot?”

 

I had 2007 ranger , second best vehicle ive owned. Was very reliable, still miss few things about it. The worst thing about it was the gas mileage, but i did have steelies and 32" tires.

My taco is the best so far.

Your truck shows Mazda emblems.

Genuine question? Mazda and Ford shared the same platform in the early 2000's?

 

With a 7.3 it would get similar fuel milage to a newer Tacoma

 

I belive since 1994, Mazda and ford ranger trucks were identical except for badges and some minor exterior details in sheet metal. I bought my parts from ford dealership.

Mazda b series was a rebadged ranger. Just like ford escape=mazda tribute, or ford fusion=mazda 6. Same shit.

 

But of course.

 

You bastard , poor 3rd gen owners have enough shit to deal with! The rear diff is howling, 3rd brake light is leaking, and they cant even fit 33s without a lift!

 

That lady is 4' 0".

 

Correct. The standards are written based on the footprint of the vehicle and since the heaviest components are in the frame rails, suspension, and drivetrain, adding size adds minimal impact to economy while greatly reducing the target MPG. For reference, this year, a 1st gen Tacoma built now would have to hit 38 MPG while the current Tacoma only needs to hit 30. Obviously no mid-size hits that but it greatly reduces the penalty Toyota receives for each Tacoma sold.
