    Oh I completely understand that. No need to get offended. I apologize for that sounding snappier than I intended for it to sound, as I wasnt trying to offend you or start an argument. All I'm saying is you're on a tacoma forum. You can't expect completely unbiased answers about Tacomas from die-hard Tacoma fans. Of course some of us are going to be "fanboys". I love my tacoma. But I'm not an irrational fanboy who refuses to acknowledge other brands. I like chevrolet, I like ford. But I picked a toyota for a reason, because I like them the best. If that classifies me as a fanboy, so be it. But the thread was started to defend Tacomas against fullsized trucks. We've gotten off topic but the whole point of the thread was to list the pros of Tacomas vs bigger trucks with more horsepower. So once again I apologize.

    Depends on how much you like the paint on your truck.

    Got some nice scratches from opening weekend of rifle season. The person I was following to camp lost the trail and we ended up coming in on an ATV trail from the other end. Some really tight spots, but the truck made it no problem.

    I just tell all my friends who have full size trucks that i'm not compensating :jerkoff:. But one guy told me that our truck size is really the perfect size for offroad. We're lighter & smaller... less stuck time and more places to go. Plus the fact that we get better gas milage overall. :cool:
