I don't really want a bigger truck just a bigger cab. We do a lot of exploring on tight roads and a bigger truck is not suited for this. Also, the
gas mileage looks comparable. I do wish there was more competition to the Tacoma, though. |
its a travesty
you cant buy a badazz VW Amarok 4wd TDI up there. there's tacoma's competition!

My third Tacoma V-6... and not one went through oil, leaked oil, or any motor problems... nearly 300,000 miles in total. Factory recommended change is
every 5,000 miles (dino)... and I always try to do it before then.

Its not true... they couldn't sell so many trucks otherwise. Toyota is #1 because they are made so well, and have so few issues that buyer loyalty and
referrals have to be one of the best in the industry.

Toyota is #1, I didn't say the Tacoma was the best selling truck... Unless you are talking about mid-size trucks? The Tundra will be knocking on
F-150's door soon enough. However, it would be nice if an American brand could be #1. I wish Jeep would improve quality, as I think they are cool and
wish they had a truck again... but with the quality of a Toyota, naturally!

The Tundra was a nice truck until they turned it into a big bloated gas hog.

for your older high mileage trucks use your regular oil and replace one quart with Mobil 1.
Mobil 1 will give you those perfectly formed synthetic molecules to help reduce friction and the standard oil will get into those tight spaces and
scratches in the pistons and piston walls to make sure they are getting bated in oil.
