If Not A Tacoma, What Would It Be?

Tundra TRD Pro or Ford Focus RS

 

That is funny. Reminds me of my uncle, buys a new car and I asked "Engine?" And he says Well, I assume it has one haha.

 

i only had my taco for a year , when i was looking for a 4wd vehicle it was i wanted 1st gen or 2nd gen 4runner or 1st gen tacoma.
then if not tacoma - 1st or 2nd gen 4runner

NOW if not tacoma - the new Hilux , FJ , Tundra , Colorado or Cannon

I wanted a diesel Hilux but since we don't have them in America I went with a Tacoma. Unfortunately Diesel Toys won't be converting already owned Tacoma's starting next week.

 

I had a 2005 Tundra prior to my 2003 Tacoma. If I could, I'd buy that truck back. It was a mistake to sell it. I like the Tacoma a lot. Easy engine to work on, and it's not a freight liner on the street. The Tundra was a 7/8s size pick up. Great size, loved the engine, loved the access cab. Everything about it except the 15 mpg around town and 17 on the hwy, was great. I don't know if I'd go for another make if purchasing a new truck. I tried a ford ranger. Just didn't "feel" right. The Toyota feels like home.

 

it would take a lot to get a hilux

 

Ram PowerWagon

 

3rd gen 4Runner and a utility trailer

 

It would have been a Ford F150 supercab STX with 5.0.Dealers were proud of them,and would not budge on price.Found my current one at a nice price,and went that route.Paid cash,would have to borrow about 12k or so for the F150.

 

Honestly if I did not have my Tacoma I would probably have a frontier or an F-150 as far as trucks go. for SUVs it would be a 4Runner or a Jeep Wrangler. for cars it would be a camry or a subaru wagon. For past vehicles it would be an older Land Cruiser or an old Hilux.

 

4th gen or new 4Runner

 

If were talking practical, some sort of V8 or diesel truck that tows better than the taco can. If it had to be a fun car, then AE86 with the TRD 4AG race engine, or an AW11 MR2 Hartop with the same engine.

 

There is only one obvious alternative:

 

Or even just the plain ol' 4x4 version

 

FZJ80

 

Dodge ram 3500 diesel, gets better fuel mileage and pulls better.

 

Ford Raptor!

 

Awesome truck but still worthless as a "working truck" Still drool every time one goes by tho.

 

a Volkswagen Passat

When I was shopping for my first car, it was either gonna be a Passat or a Tacoma
