    My truck doesn't handle near as good as the Nissan I sold a couple days after buying my truck. Curves I could take at 80 MPH are impossible now with the truck.

    Gas mileage is way different too. I could leave Palm Coast FL. with a full tank, stop a few miles north of Atlanta for a fill up, and I'd have a 1/4 tank left when I got to Cincinnati. I don't see that happening with the Tacoma.

    The ride isn't as smooth either.

    I bought almost the same color truck as my car, thinking everything would be near the same. WTF?

    Cannot tell if this trolling or venting, but you're comparing two different types of vehicles.

    I'm in the same boat as you. I gave my 05 Lexus IS300 to my brother and it was really different driving styles I have to readjust myself too. Either way... Not regretting the change at all.

    It's FRIDAY!

    Dude, you f'ed up! If you had bought the same color truck as your old car they would have performed identically. I used to have a white Porcsche 997 GT3 RS and my Super White Tacoma drives just like it.

    If you replace the Toyota emblem with the Nissan emblem you traded, you will get your smooth handling and mileage back.

    Yeah Dude, I hear ya...I traded a friend my Honda CBR F3 for his 1968 Peugeot moped and while the gas mileage is waaaay better it takes a little longer to get where I am going. Plus the ride is a little bumpier, I changed out all the bearings but it's as if I am comparing apples to assholes....
    Happy Friday and Merry Christmas!!!
