A heavy duty pick up automatically supplies load capacity, plus they're all comfy. Comfortable got the highest rating. Strange, what do people want to
drive here ?. A cadillac ???

Maintenance
The most important thing in the vehicle is how well it's taken care of. Fluid and tire pressure maintenance, checking belts, bushings and u-joints,
replacing worn shocks and brakes, all help to prevent breakdowns and delays.
The second most important thing: Satellite radio. I'm wondering how I ever lived without it.

How my vehicle handles the backcountry in Baja has always been a priority with me...

For me it has to be dependability.
Strive For The Ideal, But Deal With What\'s Real.

Why Toyota Tacoma is the best Baja vehicle for me:
1) Will go anywhere I have taken it.
2) Will not breakdown, the most dependable vehicles I have ever owned! On #2 now... #1 had 136,000+ trouble free miles at the end of the 5 year lease.
3) Comforatable? I'll say, it sure doesn't feel like a pickup truck! Drives 90 MPH (passing long lines of trucks and RVs)as nice as 60, handles great.
4) More power than I'll ever need: 236 HP from a V-6 (regular fuel).
5) Even though this is a four door and the bed is about a foot shorter than my last Tacoma (an extra cab), the newer, larger 2005 Tacoma has a deeper,
wider bed and I can fit the same amount of cargo in it as I could my 2001 truck.
6) Fuel milages have ranged from 16 to 20 MPG with 18 being the most common figure for my daily driving. This is the SAME good milage as my smaller
'01 Tacoma got.
Oh, what a feeling!!!
Here's a couple of my '01 at Mision Santa Maria, since Ken posted his Wrangler Rubicon photos in there...

my answer is none of the above.
to me Reliability is most important fallowed by repairability. old Ford pickups are a good choice.

Dang
Whistler that is a rough one. Since I have graduated to a new truck finally I can say in retrospect that all those choices are very much appreciated
by me . So far with this truck I only really need some more aftermarket goodies.There are choices for so many aftermarket parts.. There is just so
many cool upgrades and stuff for trucks now it's a piece of pie to put one together for many. Engines and powrtrain upgrades another story but for the
most do-it-yerself off-road isn't that big a deal anymore. Heck, you can lease em new and beat em up in another country and no one could care less.
Just don't alter them.
Bruce , you are right about that. I can't imagine losing ignition or injection because of a sensor or computer code indicating a failed component,
Yikes! Will I ever sleep comfortably off-road again?? We'll go see!

I said off road handling. If it handles offroad well, it will be really good on Mex1. This is what i'm driving.

Toyos
Whistler... still love em. Just tried em out(unintentionally) on frozen roads a couples days back. I swear they have better hard-surface gription than
those Open Country A/Ts. The noise is minimal still. No wearpatterns showing yet either 15k +. Get em, you'll like em.
