    hello all,

    I am in the market for a new Tacoma. I have not made up my mind on this truck yet.

    I am also considering a Jeep Wrangler or a Nissan frontier. I think Tacomas are a little over priced.

    I have been looking at mods also. Lift kits and larger tires and a roll bar with lights....yes that 80's look...lol

    I have been talking to co workers who have owned Tacomas recently and went with a full size truck.

    I currently own a 2003 Chevy Silverado step side with 97k miles. No issues with it so far. Just deserve something newer.


    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Welcome.
    Can't go wrong with a Tacoma, high resale value, reliability and off road worthiness and you're gold.

    Welcome to TW CD! Good luck on your search! I think you'll find the resale value on a Tacoma is far superior than a heap wrangler or Nissan frontier. Completely agree with @Large

    Welcome. How will you use,the truck? MPG important? Will you tow? Offroad? Too many unknowns to offer any useful help.

    I have a newbie question. What gear ratio do I want to order on a new Tacoma if I plan to put 18" rims with 33" tires. After I get a lift kit that is. I would like a 6" kit. Any advice is appreciated.
