    A couple scratches on front bumper when garage door fell on it. Crease in the back bumper where my truck got into a fight with a pole.
    I would buy another Taco... But a 4x4 dbl cab sport instead of my dbl cab Sport

    The commercial shows that it will survive meteor hit. :D. But, if I loose it due to another disaster, I'll get another Taco - a 4x4 TRD offroad.

    I'd get another taco, but I'd by an older used 4X4 so as to have more money for mods and possibly a paid off truck. :D

    I have always been a fan of the powerstroke trucks. I've owned 2 of them, a 7.3 and a 6.0. I have also had 2 pre-tacoma trucks, a 92 and 94.

    I got a very good deal on this truck, and it was time to downsize for a while due to fuel being almost 5$ a gallon. Now that fuel is back down around $2.50 a gallon, I would like to have another diesel.

    I guess one of the main reasons I miss the 6.0, was with just a couple of basic bolt ons(exhaust, intake) and an SCT that has been custom tuned, you're at about 400hp give or take a few.

    I am not brand loyal, I drive what I like. Ford nor Toyota has ever paid me to drive their vehicles. I don't see why everyone gets so butthurt because someone decides to drive something else besides a Toyota. :(
