Will a Tacoma be your next vehicle?

Psh.

 

x2. if i needed a 1/2 ton i would get a tundra. but if i did a lot of heavy towing or hauling i’d get a cummins.

 

Just in the past few months I've gone from a Taco to a Tundra, and now I'm in a '03 4runner.

 

For communting...get the ATS...more fun

 

Swagger wagons done right!

This video pretty much sums up the swagga wagon for me.

If you don't like the 5.7L gas motor in the Tundra for towing then follow this simple plan:

1. Buy Dodge w/ Cummins
2. Buy Tundra
3. Yank Cummins out of Dodge
4. Drop Cummins into Tundra
5. Sell Toyo motor on fleabay
6. Use Tundra to drag Dodge carcass to junk yard

 

hmm that sounds cool.

but tundra is good for towing. but if i had to tow 8k pounds i’d get a cummins. tundra could do it fine but MPG will probably be under 10. The cummins wont drop as much as a gas engine when towing. Also a 2500 can tow 18k+ pounds, and the 3500 can tow like 30k.

 

power wagon only comes in a gas motor. In canada anyways

 

I've only owned Toyota and Subaru. My next car will most likely be one of the two. I've owned a Tacoma, WRX, and now a 4Runner. My girlfriend has owned two Tacoma's as well.

 

Ehh, not for me. It looks like a chick car.

 

Depends on what they do between now and then.
If the 2014/2-15 looks like 2014 4Runner, it'll be a tough sell for me.

But even right now, I'd be more inclined to move to an FJ Cruiser.

 

I have(and did) think about an FJ. But I like having the bed to much and use it to much to really get an FJ. I would have to get a smaller trailer if i had an FJ. But i don’t like towing ALL the time. I do tow some as it is.

 

Tundra will be my next vehicle for sure!

 

depends. i got a while left to pay on mine. if i had to trade it in right now, i would get an F150 with eco-boost.

 

Next on the list:

Car: 2008 Subaru Forester 2.5 X Premium Manual (Dark Grey Metallic or Steel Grey)

Bike: 2012 Suzuki V Strom 650 ABS (Metallic Fox Orange)

A Pickup, Car and two bikes should hold me over long enough

 

I'm sure you're aware of the lawsuit announced this week over "unrealistic" power and mileage claims of the eco-boost.

 

Yep Just old my 2011 - my 2013 is sailing this way Monday!

 

This is why the Forester appeals to me. By no means will I be "off roading" with it, but it'll get me through much more than a car and I can then stop worrying about the Pickup being DD worthy and gear it towards the heavier stuff.

 

I came very close to buying a Forester years ago, ended up with the Outback instead. Loved that car. Took many road trips in it including 2 to Colorado. Great car.
