Big yank trucks

Not in rust country. Tacomas are underbuilt underneath. They bend and become tacos, which also happens to old Chevy S-10s.

I was told there was a person that put a million miles on the truck.

Toyotas can be difficult to kill.

Maybe if you overload them. They are light duty trucks. I've seen full size trucks folded. Id the Taco is anything like the Hilux, it should have a boxed frame.

A Tacoma is fucking little, and you have to drive it in a car-type seating position. Yeah, it has headroom, but so what? I have to slither in and out of it and duck my head so as not to knock my brains out on the door opening header. This is a work truck, so I tolerate. They provide everything about it. Giving the devil his due, it starts and runs and hasn't had any problems, but at 91K miles, it had better not. My Ram 1500 is half again as big, has seating for adults, will run circles around it and pull tons more shit to boot, and when empty gets better fuel mileage at a ton heavier and with 2 liters more engine.


If you like your Tacoma, keep it, by all means.


The company is supposed to be switching us out into F-150s. I'm not a Frod fan, but I can wait. Adult sized truck . . . .

I had a 2009 Tacoma after 3 F150's and not only was it awful to drive as you describe, mine was a POS.
90k and it was a rattle bucket, got stuck when I was hunting all the time, none of my Fords ever got stuck.

Last truck on earth I would buy

OK....just drove through Oklahoma, Arizona and New Mexico.....RAM country down there. Also over half the trucks are white so it must be fun finding ypur truck after hitting WalMart!

I put over a quarter-million miles on an S10 (and it did not bend like a taco) with no major repair expenses, and could have gone for more, but it would not have been cost effective. So yeah, especially if they're highway miles, a million miles are not out of reach, but it would not be cheap miles. Things wear out.

I have a 4WD F150 now. It's not a daily driver, but one thing every homeowner needs, especially if you live in rural America, is a truck to compliment the daily driver(s).
