    So are you regretting the decision on getting the truck you got? If so, here is friendly reminder of what you could have gotten. :poking:

    Had I known that Ram still put manuals in their trucks and you could get a 4 door Cummins for around 40, things would have looked different a year ago.

    I use my trucks in my company. I can drive anything I want within reason. I just bought a tundra, but when it came time to trade in the 2015 taco, I couldn't do it. Sounds lame, but a truck is a tin box with tires that makes money. The taco is the only truck that made the cut.

    I guess we are assuming that the Tacoma is not an option?

    Probably a Colorado. I might even look into the diesel option if range proved to be much improved.

    I'd get another Tacoma, but I might change colors.

    Maybe a Jeep Wrangler or 4Runner. I might go a different direction entirely and get a Dodge Challenger. I've heard rumors that Ford might be bringing back the Ranchero, so I would consider one of those.

    But really, I'd probably buy another Toyota pickup. Something with a short bed and double cab. Maybe even a Tundra, even though I generally don't like driving larger pickups.

    They're nice trucks, I'm sure, but they are huge and expensive. I don't require that much power on a daily basis, so it would just be a waste of money and fuel for me.

    A car-based pickup or a smaller body on frame pickup is more my style.

    First Gen low mileage Tundra 2005-2006

    It's the same size of a Tacoma with a reliable engine, similar HP and around 50 more torque and has a V8 with nice sound.

    What else could you ask for?

    Hell might have gone for the Tundra if I knew about it before.
