Going with the '05 Tacoma

[Rex]

Most likely. Just need to work out some minor numbers, and I'll be trading in my 300m. I test drove it earlier today, and was impressed. $19,459 for the truck, and were willing to give me up to $16,000 [owe $16,951 and dropping] for my car so it's just a matter of time. Not too bad of a wash for the upgrade.

After the holiday I'm going to go see what Nissan will offer, then play them off of each other. End of June a deal I plan on having the deal made.

 

[Zebo]

I've had mine for two months and I LOVE IT.

Great little truck. 4 door is the way to go. Don't get the short bed. It is SHORT.

Go for it. You will love it!

I think that you should have kicked him in the shin and drove back to the dealewrship without him.

Buy Amercian

Chevy has a $4000 rebate on trucks now.

Pick, American vehicles have let me down. I was a die hard supporter of them, but have been burned time and time again.

Starfish, that sucks to have a bad dealer. I give them the impression that I can walk away at any time and be fine with that.

I have some time to kill tomorrow so I'm going to visit the dealerships in my area [Philly, since I'm home for the holiday] just to get a better feel.

"The one who wants the deal the most gets the worst deal."

k for all.

I currently own an 05 Corolla, but to be honest I've never had any real problems with any new cars I've purchased. Even my 03 Dodge p/u ... except for the 11-12 mpg.

I'm thinking about getting a truck again too. The new Tacoma is going through some growing pains being a new year model. It's experienced some very "Un-Toyota" quality issues including leaking windshields and paint chipping problems.

 

[buffer1]

good choice

Be a man and get a full size. Nothing less than a 1/2 ton will do. You never know when you will need the extra capacity. The first time it happens you will say to yourself why the hell didn't I get the 1/2 or 3/4 ton or the long box etc.

The new Tacoma is pretty big.

I disagree entirely. Unless you are a contractor or have a boat/rv to pull no fucking point in a full size. just another dork with a small penis is what i think when I see somebody in a full size that does not need it. I've had mid size trucks (and i do construction work) for a few years now, no need for a full size whatsoever...plus doesn't rex live in nyc? wtf is the point of a monster truck in a city

My last vehicle was an '03 Silverado Z-71 V8. I liked it but it was impractical for my needs. Gas killed my wallet on top of that.

Philly, but NYC is a possibility in the future. If Matt's company takes me on.

furthermore, if you're gonna go full size the f150 is slammin'

Agree. Hell, most people that "need" a fullsize probably put something in the back once or twice a year that a mid-size would've handled without a problem. One of my friends has a small Dodge pickup that he treats as a 1 ton. He's one of the few people I know that actually needs a fullsize pickup because he's always hauling stuff around.

Only one other person I know needs a fullsize. He killed the transmission in his Mazda hauling his boat twice a month for years. He upgraded to a Silverado and he's getting slightly better milage with the V8 than he was with the V6 in the Mazda.


Rex - 4cyl or V6 in the Tacoma? I drove an 02 Tacoma with a 4cyl and it didn't have enough power for me. I know I would hvae had issues with the lack of torque while offroading, and yes, I would definetly offroad a new truck if I got one.

Extended or quad? Personally, I don't like quad cabs. They eat up too much bed room unless you want a HUGE truck. Problem I'd have with an ext cab is seating room for the kids and being able to have a car seat in there that fits (7yrs or 70lbs is the law).

I tested the 4 cyl and was surprised at how good it felt for being a small engine. 2.7L 164hp. Gets 21/26 for gas on a 21 gallon tank. As opposed to the 2004's 2.7L 150hp. Fuel economy was roughly the same though.

Check crash safety ratings.

The Ford truck has been the most dangerous vehicle on the raod for a while. Supposedly they addressed this problem for '05.

SUVs are 27 times more likely to kill the people who get hit in a broadside.

SUVs and trucks are also very prone to rollovers.

Buy a minivan.

Much safer and 25 mpg and you can haul a lot.

Plus cops will yawn at a dead body hanging out of a minivan.

I'm waiting on my car to sell then I'm getting an 05 tacoma double cab V6 w/$2,500 sport truck wheels. I can't freakin wait.

Somebody want to buy my 97 Celica?

You hvae a Celica and you're buying a pickup. Guess you're one of the people that are trying desperately to make up for what they lack elsewhere, huh?

 

[dirty~d~]

After owning two Toyota pickups since I was 16 I won't buy anything else. I'll be upgrading my current 1997 model to the 2005 later this year. The only complaint I have about the new ones is the body styling... I prefer the 2001 body.

lol
I have a Camry and a Celica. I don't need two cars, so I am needing/wanting a truck.

I won't comment on the lacking elsewhere part. I'm afraid my nose might start growing outward.

at least some body part on you would/could grow when inpired to do so.

Pick, where are you getting these quotes from? Not that I don't believe you, but there options and stuff I'm interested in and would like to do a little research.

I've submitted quote request from local dealers. The Tacoma request was from the same guy I purchased my 05 Corolla from.

You can go to Edmunds.com and request quotes from several area dealers at once.

If you're worried about gas milage though, you'd spend the extra $400 for the Tacoma. If you drive a lot, you'll save at least that much in the first year alone.

Yeah, I don't really drive that much. Gas mileage isn't much of a concern.

I may just wait until I see rebates on the Tacoma.

Well, I guess you could say that if it's 1/2" nub when flaccid and grows to a full 2" when erect.

great choice on the tacoma, toyota makes the best trucks.
