    Maybe if "she" had bought a truck, "she" would not have been hit with much depreciation that "shebudgets"

    Any negative article can be worth millions in added or lost sales to a company when a .. "prospective buyer is on the fence" .. and reads something like this.

    Then a .."prospective buyer is on the fence" .. gets on TW and reads a small percentage of complaints and buys something else and regrets that later too.

    Its a lot like the "news media" and "politics" and each outlet has its' favorite candidate ... not much difference here.

    Tacomas are still the number one target that all other mid-size trucks want to knock off.

    PS ... Plus pick on the top selling truck and see how many "clicks" you get on your website traffic and that can be around 3 cents a "click".

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.

    Low fluid issues and driveline vibrations due to misaligned diffs is not a an antiquated experience. It's piss poor quality control.

    In other news, a truck is too high to get in to. More on this tonight at 11. Up next, people complain orange juice is too tart.

    I always find it funny when reviews complain about cramped rear seats or lack of cargo space in small vehicles.

    Want Cargo space and rear seats made for adults? Then don't buy a COMPACT car or small SUV. If you need cargo space and rear seat room, you have to go full size. Its very rare to have a small car that has room in the back row.

    On a side note: I love that the big gripe with the Lincoln is that, to the author, it looks like a Ford Taurus. Yeah, and Lexus models look like Toyotas, Acura models look like Hondas, Infiniti models look like Nissans...

    Agree for the most part. I'd say the Dbl Cab Tacoma rear seating space is on par with most 4-door compact sedans. So if that's the market they're aiming for they hit it.

    Imagine a 4x4 truck that is high off the ground? Like really, I am only getting 23 MPG IMP around town and all my luggage space needs a cover cuz the back area is like, out in the open! Dumbest commentary I have ever read regarding the best selling mid size truck in N.A. We all must be morons to have bought our Tacoma's. I guess we should have bought a Dodge Ram!:rolleyes:

    Take Care

    Recently rode in a 2016 that my coworker bought. I may be crazy, but interior room felt smaller than my 2015, especially the back seat.

    Apparently Forbes didn't get the memo. SheBudget must be light years ahead!

    http://www3.forbes.com/business/13-new-cars-to-avoid-for-2016/14/

    I thought the interior dimensions were nearly identical but you could be right. I wouldn't want to ride in the back seat any longer than 3 or 4 hours. The 4Runner is definitely the better choice if you plan on hauling grown people around in the rear.
