Currently in a 99 Toyota Tacoma extra cab I've had for 13 years. Second owner. Been a good truck.
What I want...
4x4
Crew cab, 4 door for the kids
V6 preferably but milage on some v8's seems nearly identical
Leaning towards full size
What I don't do, tow anything heavy or haul a lot of stuff. Longer bed is nice but I've dealt with the Tacoma just fine.
Going to look low milage used and possibly new old stock that's been sitting around. Not interested in brand new, prices are nuts. Not terribly brand loyal. And IMO Toyota holds too much value, high milage used trucks are nearly $20K!
Leaning towards Dodge Ram. Nissan Frontier was in there too but the transmission issue is something that would make or break certain trucks.
What say you? Recommendations? Things to stay away from?
