If the Tacoma didn't exist, what truck would be riding instead?

Tundra, or a R6 alongside a beater for grocery runs.

 

I'd go with the Frontier. They look dope when they're decked out.

 

But if you were not a lesbian and you did not have a Taco. Then what? JK...

 

4 things that I did not like about the ranger.

Dated interior, small 4 cyl, looks and no MT option. I did consider it for a moment though.

 

Yes.

I just don’t like how the frame rails hang so low.

 

If I could afford it this

 

Walk

 

Chevy S10

 

Those S10s with the 4.3 are pretty stout.

 

Diesel Hilux

 

For me it was a few things: 1) Parts of the interior were very poorly and cheaply made (I think they may have addressed that), 2) The bed sides were so high I needed a ladder to reach over them, 3) Ford dealers are just a bummer to try to buy from (I know that is just a hasty generalization), and 4) It was actually more than the Tacoma when I was looking.

To be honest though, I did not hate it. I liked it. I just liked the Tacoma much more. Still hope the Ranger does well for Ford, though.

 

That was my first vehicle. It was a blue ext. cab 2wd with the 4.3. Outside of the radio dying and a leak, it was pretty solid. Since no one could comfortably ride in the rear jump seat, I put a couple of Rockford Fosgate 12’s back there. That little truck was bumpin! lol

 

Realistically a 4runner

 

Did not have a taco for 11 years. Did fine with a 4 runner and utility trailer. I would easily go back to that set up if the latest gen 4 runner didn’t suck.

 

Easy. 1st gen Nissan Pathfinder, early 90s edition. Was the first vehicle I legally drove, and MAN that thing went anywhere you pointed the nose. I've slogged through the woods in 18"+ of snow like it wasn't even there. My only complaint about it was the brakes were grossly undersized for highway use. Otherwise the damn thing was a bulletproof tank. Low, stout, and stable.

God I miss that truck. Kills me that my dad went and got rid of it when I left for the army, all it needed was a new clutch and a few exhaust header studs replaced. No doubt it'd still be kickin' ass today.

 

Nissan frontier or 4runner

 

Frontier Pro4x in silver, 6 speed if I could find one.

 

A manual, 2003, Single Cab, 6.0 powerstroke F250.

 

Nice!

My buddy in high school had a 91 I believe lowered single cab short box s10 with the 4.3, was super cool ride. I miss those days...

 

The latest gen 4R sucks?
