Hit a milestone today...

To be honest, I've only driven a little over 3K of those miles...still, significant.

I was thinking Toyota. The orange backlight and ODO is the same one on my Toyota.

Tacomas are fantastic! My father has a red V6 and it is the best truck he has ever had. And trust me, the ONLY vehicles he has ever owned and driven himself, are pickups.

Mine has the 4cyl, and it's still able to get out of it's own way and still manage high 20's mileage-wise on the highway.

Prior to this truck, I had a 4.3L S10 and a 3.9L Dakota. Obviously the 4.3 was torquier....but the Dakota was a much more liveable truck all around (size, comfort, mileage). I'm not certain yet if I like the Tacoma more...but I'm very happy with it.

Wow, my father had a friend with a Dakota and said he loathed it. But, I bet the Magnum V8 was cool enough. The V6 is perfect for the truck due to its lightness. I was going steeply uphill, mashed the throttle, and the tires started to loose grip and drift. I got scared and recognized I was in public roads and seized. Also, Ive taken it to the beach, and donuts are easy, controlable, and fun.

My Dakota was a 3.9L V6...no V8 there. I wasn't looking for tire shredding performance...I was a part-time drummer and full-time lumberyard manager that needed a cheap vehicle with a bed larger than the S10 had for gear, materials, whatever. Only bad thing that happened in 140K miles was a speed sensor in the diff that caused it to stall when turning left. I didn't really want to get rid of it, but when I did I had moved, changed jobs, stopped playing music, bought a house, got responsible and didn't think I needed a truck anymore. We've recently decided we need something just in case her Saturn with 210K miles gives up the ghost...and we found too many situations lately that a truck would've helped tremendously.
