an 06+ 4 door tacoma 4x4 is the only truck i would get right now. its not toyota's, or any other foreigh automakers, fault that american automakers dont make competitive products, the dont have a midsize truck to compete with the tacoma or frontier.. im all about keeping the big three in buisness, but they gotta meet us half way.

foreigh cars used to be crap, nobody bought them. now the since the tables have turned, we have to do the same to compete: build a good product.
