If You Did It Again, Tacoma or Tundra?

The other day I had to pick up some building materials in my DCSB. Had to make a couple of trips to get stocked up. Sometimes I wish I had a Tundra considering I may have been able to get one for the same price as my Tacoma. Did anyone consider a Tundra at some point, but opted for the Tacoma?

Curious minds want to know.

 

taco of course

 

no tundra. dad has a 2000. i thought about FJC tho.

we also have a big 7’X12’ trailer. and are thinking about a smaller one as well. if i need to i can get 2x as much as a trundra alone can with my DCSB and a trailer. last trip i got a new push mower and 10 bags of scots top soil and still had a bit of room could have got another 10 or 15 bags. but they did not have the other dirt mom wanted.

 

tacoma. but would go back to 4x4 like i used to have

 

nope. would get the same truck, maybe a different color.

 

The additional size and bigger Power plant would be a nice change. But realistically what I have is perfect.

 

I think your problem is you have a SB. I think your question may be better asked, if you did it again, would you get a SB or LB?

Could always get a trailor if you need to haul heavy loads.

 

Pretty content with my taco.... the tundras are nice.... but I don't like a vehicle that I can see the gas gauge moving in.

Got the long bed here and I've been able to fit most everything I've needed in it.

 

some like my self wanted the OR more than sport. also we have dads truck and a trailer and my one brother has a truck. 3 trucks and a 7’X12’ trailer in a family of 5 is anuff i think. but looking to add another smaller trailer.

 

I would have gone full-size if I did it over again. It probably wouldn't have been a Tundra, though.

 

I got a used 07 Taco 4x4 DC. On a redo, I'd think a little harder maybe about a similar config for a 05/06 Tundra. Gas mileage is a little less (or the same for some), but they can be had for less cost as well. The V8 is a nice perk, IMO, esp for hauling, pulling big loads.

 

Tacoma here, i have been watching my buddies 2010 Tundra 4x4 and 5.7 while he is on deployment and i cannot get over 13mpg in that thing even if i baby the heck out of it. Other then that its a nice truck and has a ton of power, but i couldn't afford to fuel the thing.

 

I faced this exact decision three weeks ago when buying my Tacoma.
The $39k MSRP of the Tundra less the discount less the $2250 rebate brought the price within 5% of my Tacoma TX.
I drove both, then put them side by side... Tacoma is a better choice, unless you need heavy load capacity or have a large item to tow.
For a homeowner's needs (dump runs, Home depot, weekend trips, etc) Tacoma is perfect.

 

I liked my 06 Tacoma DC & like my 4.6L Tundra.
If I were to do it all again I would get the 5.7L Rock Warrior

 

I had this dilemma before I bought my taco. I seriously considered a the 4.6 tundra. compared with the set up I wanted on my taco the tundra would have been close in price. MPG on paper is similar.

I'm glad I went with the taco. I live in Hawaii and big trucks are a pain to commute with. I can't imagine having the tundra.

But I love that 4.6 V8. what an engine!

 

damn that killed me.

 

Tacoma...Tundra has never entered my mind once. Id rather go GMC if I'm going that big.

 

If the tundra could fit in the garage, I probably would have gone tundra. I am really struggling with legroom for the kids and may have to go a different route soon.

 

Tacoma

Tundra is too big

 

I would maybe get a first gen Tundra, but not a second. Still I can get a lot of stuff in my 6ft bed! Moved to college in one load lol
