    If I couldn't have the Taco, I'd also hit up the Frontier. It doesn't quite sell me though. Otherwise if I had a choice outside the polls, I'd go for a Dodge 2500 Cummins. Thankfully, they've finally improved the interior of the Dodges, so they don't look like they were carved from a full block of grey plastic. Guh. Made me want to vomit.

    Solid Truck though.

    Well, I have another truck and I'm pretty happy with it. 2006 F250 diesel crew cab 4x4. Great for towing and hauling and has acres of room in the cab, but it's honestly a bit much for civilian use.

    It's my daily driver anytime my Tacoma is out of commission. So it's my daily driver. :eek:

    For me it was either the Tacoma or the Silverado. Suprisingly the silverado was cheaper and I wanted one for a long time, but more recently my eyes were on a Tacoma. Then almost went with the frontier cuz it was a lot cheaper, but it ended with me and my dad almost getting into a brawl with the sales person. So out of that list the frontier, but from a different dealer.

    One of the guys in my condo complex has one of those. Its carbon grey though. I love hearing the supercharger on it whine when he pulls out of the parking lot.

    Sexy sexy car!

    You guys don't want an Audi...I have had a few and they are very expensive to maintain. I purchased 3-years of service for my Tacoma at about the cost of your average Audi service. Great cars, but expensive to buy, and expensive to run. ;)

    I would probably get a Dodge RAM, but if I needed to get another small/mid-sized pickup I would probably get the Frontier.

    I would never buy a vehicle with a push rod engine, OHC FTW!!!

    Oh yea, and the Subaru Baja (granted they stopped producing them a while back) is hands down sicker than any of those up there.

    I was on the fence when I bought my Taco... a fullsize GMC Sierra was close second... I probably could have gotten one cheaper, but I just didn't need the room... beautiful trucks though...

    Does buying another brand, selling it immediately, then buying another Yota count as an option?
