    Story as to why I had to get this
    Dad informed me a front wheel drive is safer than a 4wd truck and threatened to take my college money away... Could any one explain how a fwd small sedan is safer than a truck?

    lol yep, vision checks. Want to buy a Tacoma, but now I will have to keep it for 2.5 months to drive to UAA then sell it before I go to the Philippines. Buying a Taco when I get back. Only reason I bought was dad threatened to take all my money away if I bought a truck... :confused: :mad:

    Hills, snow, ice, (they don't salt roads here, lucky if plowed or graveled) for 5 months here, just not my thing. I fit in the driver's seat only, head hits in the passenger seat... 6'4" I just want a truck, don't mess with my excuses. ;)
