New Tacomas are out

[NewLeaf]

My Detroit DD15 block is not cast iron. 894k

I think Ford’s new 7.3 gasser is the first cast iron block they’ve put out in about 20yrs?? I haven’t looked it up but aluminum blocks have been around a long time now. The early stuff (mostly) was junk; like Cadillac.

I have owned 3 as well. Hey, it’s like we know each other or something.

My last one was a 2002 TRD Limited w/The supercharger 3.4 V6 - was a daily driver AND DEER DOGGING truck for 10 years. The 4WD was insane and the truck would cruise at 107mph on I-20 going up the Oconee Hill. I sold it with 323k miles on it and it drove and ran like brand new.

I have owned 5 since 1970: 2 landcruisers, 2 4runners, and a 4wd pickup. Not one ever left me stranded.

If the deep-state would allow the import of the tacoma diesel, Ford would really have to rampup their rhetoric on the f250

I’d consider that Tacoma if it’s available without the roll cage and roof junk. Aside from that… I like.

That's only one trim level. They have several others.

What do you need more often, four full doors or a longer bed?
The trend to default to 4 doors and a short (almost useless) bed is annoying.

I agree. I have zero need for a 4 door pickup truck. It took a while to actually find a two door when I bought my Ranger.

That’s all trucks. I’d prefer the longer bed. Having a back seat that turns into a bench does come in handy sometimes though.

A flip up console that would accommodate seating for three in the front, a half door with reduced passenger space for the second row and a 6'+ bed would accommodate 100% of my needs and still fit in the garage. I bet that's the case for the majority of people.

Sadly, as long as the bed is big enough to carry a Yeti cooler full of BudLite and an IKEA furniture puzzle box, well that’s enough for the current culture’s mEnz.

And fit through the Starbuck's drive through. You're not wrong.
