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

I'd probably be in a 4runner (5th gen) wishing I had a manual

 

Check Craigslist, etc. Every once in a while they show up.

 

Definitely this.

 

maverick

 

Not a truck but either a Honda S2000 or a Yamaha R1.

 

I don't know how but before I got my taco, I almost bought a B7 S4 so id be in that if the taco never was a thing.

 

what is that thing

 

I'd probably be either in a 4Runner or a Raptor, but if the Tacoma wasn't around in 2013 I may not have made the jump from coupes / sports cars over to a truck. I was looking at Jeeps, WRXs, BRZs, and Camaros but wasn't convinced to make the switch to a larger vehicle until I drove my first Tacoma.

 

Kei truck.

 

Dyna Lowrider S

 

If the Tacoma name didn't exist I'd drive the Toyota pick-up, Hilux, T100, or Tundra.

 

I'm curious if any of you Taco owners have driven the new Colorado. If so, how would you compare the two?

 

I'd have to have an indestructible one like the taco, and although it's not compact, this would be my choice:
International harvester truck ctx 7300

 

I’d probably drive a Ranger

 

Gladiator

 

Honestly, idk, so I'm glad it exists.

In Theory: Model 3 or Rivian or something
In reality: Prob a Cheby Colarada DurtyMax Diesel

 

Tundra. Or Nissan Titan

 

Raptor

 

I'll be test driving the gladiator today. I'm hoping that the driving experience will be much better than the Taco. If the Gladiator checks off all my boxes, that is most likely what I'll end up with. I've driven the Colorado ZR2 and I was not a big fan. It rode really nice but the interior was just too cheap for the price point of a ZR2. The Ford ranger doesn't appeal to me so that's out of the question lol

 

Unimog or VW Amorok (if we could get one in the US)
