    Nice ride - and it will last 2-3 times longer than a Ram.

    Congrats on the new truck OP, and good to hear you don’t regret getting rid of the Ram!

    I live in the desert so I'm not worried about rust issues, although I have read about it elsewhere.

    nice score!
    You didn’t have to make a new screen name, but sometimes we all need to turn the page.
    Honestly, I’d try a Ram,,,, if I wanted or needed a full size, which I do not.

    Are Ram frames better protected? BTW, some of us live in Southern states so this isn't a concern.

    Never hauled much in the Ram, and planning even less with the Taco. Non issue for me. Mostly a pavement princess, and a fun one to boot.

    Sorry if it’s been mentioned already, but this isn’t true. The manual carries over in some trims to the 2024. It won’t be in the hybrid setups though. I guess too much torque for the stock clutch config.
