Can't seem to find "THAT TRUCK"... what I can find is a bunch of idgits that want to sell me a truck.
It's a toss up for me as to what I want. Got to be extended cab and got to be a 4x4. I have a full size GMC now and I'm not real happy with it. Thought about a Toyota Tacoma.
I looked at some Fords today in Knoxville. Went to the Jeep place here in Kodak... the salesman there was an idgit. I did find out real quick I didn't want a Jeep. I guess he helped me with that.
The only thing I pull is my boat so the Tacoma may be the way to go.
What say you?

I have a 04 Tacoma Crew 4x4 that I purchased last July. It has 120,000 miles now and I love it. The bed on a crew cab is shorter than on a xtended cab: 5ft, 5in vs 6 ft

What kind of gas mileage do you guys get with the Tacoma?
Have you pulled anything with them?

The Fords get terrible gas mileage. I looked at them today and the 4x4 gets worse mileage than the full size.

I had an 03 Tacoma doublecab 4x4 that got 20 mpg's. Went to full size Fords (150's & 250') and tried to go back to a Tacoma. Big mistake after getting used to all of that room my kids and I both about died. Kept it a month and went back to a fullsize. Currently have a F350 with tons of room and power. The new F150's with the 3.5L V-6 Ecoboost motor have a tow rating of 10,300 lbs. and show 18 - 22 on the mpg estimates. If I were in the market that's what I'd look at.
