    11 years total between the Air Force, Air Force Reserve and Army Reserve. Enlisted in the USAF after I was drafted. Been a Toyota owner for the past 25 years, military service did not influence that decision.

    Thank you to all of you that have served.

    Hey hey hey! What's so funny? There's a 1% of defenders that actually do something. And to the OP I've always driven Yotas so my choice was not influenced.

    Marine Light Armored Recon. Don't think it influenced my decision to go Tacoma. I've always had Toyota, Honda, or Subaru vehicles. It was between the Taco and the Forester XT and I decided that something with a bed would better serve my needs. Thanks for all of your service!

    Retired from the Air Force in 99 after doing 22 yrs active. Service did not influence my choice, manual trans. access cab did. Sad world where its so hard to find a truck with a standard.

    Damage Controlman 2nd Class serving 10 years in the Coast Guard thus far, 10 more years to go. My service has not had any influence on my purchase. I love Jeep Wranglers and I love Toyota trucks.. I've always had a thing for them since the 1st Gens. To me they are the most fun vehicles to drive other than Jeeps.
