    I bought in this order, 2004 Accord, 1991 F-250 with the Ford 300 inline 6, 4:10 rear end and manual trans, Tacoma. Having all three works super well for me as they fit different needs in my life.

    I was coming from FZJ80s (x2), 100 series Cruiser (a few FJ40s as well) and finally a 7.3 Powerstroke Excursion (needed room for kids and towing). After my divorce I stuck with what I knew best, red block Volvos, mostly 240s until I started freaking about safety and wanted side curtain airbags in a car.

    Anyway, I would have gone Sequoia instead of the Tacoma so I could haul 7 people and tow otherwise I was doing fine with the Accord and Ford.

    If I'm being honest, I'm old school, I bought my Tacoma from my dad and when he bought it new I laughed at him for IFS, I just couldn't take a Tacoma or 4Runner seriously while driving a locked and lifted 80 series. Now I appreciate it more but it's no Land Cruiser either which is both good and bad.

    since the taco cant pull a 5th wheel due to composite bed, I had to buy this last year

    best part is it has 35in tires with a 4 in lift and still moves out of its own way

    Very nice! it looks great, thinking about doing the same thing for hauling big loads and stuff from the lumber yards and adding the plow for the ungodly amount of snow we get here.

    This thing hauls stuff very well and is easy to work on.

    Ex wifes 5th wheel loaded was about 10,000 lbs and went very well to Old Orchard Beach in Maine and in the New Hampshire mountains.

    Trailer in my signature hauled everything my girl owned to my house that I bought 2 months ago and I hauled all my stuff in it too.

    I get so many compliments and people walking up to me to talk about my truck.

    Probably a Nissan Frontier V6. The reliability seems to be decent (unlike like Nissan's cars with CVTs).

    I lust for an FZJ80 Land Cruiser and a Mazda Miata, but only in addition to my Tacoma and not instead of my Tacoma.

    i'd go European- in a couple years you can bring in the Audi RS2 under the 25 year rule... Co-engineered by Audi and Porsche in the early 90's and about 315 hp in a little wagon. The original "RS"

    I'm from Levittown originally! Small world. Is the Reedmans dealership still in Langhorne ? They actually had a test track there back in the day.
