Ram got out of the mid size truck business when the Dakota was dropped. Why is it so hard for some of you to compare trucks in the same category? This
thread is not about Tundras or other full size trucks. Not one Nomad with a Tacoma bought it for high mileage, not one.
When comparing fuel mileage, cost, comfort etc it is OK to compare dissimilar sized vehicles. After all, the discussion here is more than just about
size.

allegedly toyota will be going to a common chassis for tundra and tacoma, the mid/full size is getting fuzzier.......
Ford is shorter in wheelbase, overall length and less than 5 inches wider than the Toyota...So its BS about it not being able to do narrow trails,eh?

You are comparing a Tacoma double cab to a FORD reg cab, not the same.
Raptor is quite a bit wider. Look it up.
Same WB as standard F150, but is sits higher due to taller tires and taller springs, making it better for those tall rocks and deep water.
Some guys are reluctant to test an 80k truck on hard places.
Another diversion post from DK....Who is "Cameron"...???
Really Chuckie?
Besides being the winner of both the Baja 1000 and Mexican 1000, leader of the annual Rip to Cabo m/c rides, and TV announcer... he has (since 2014)
lead the Trail of Missions TV tour every June... and that's how he and I became acquainted.
See last years show (the road from Mike's to Meling/El Coyote is featured):

So understand dont waste your time always searching for those wasted years
face up and make your stand and realize that your living in the golden years
This thread is pretty funny, Do any of you think you are changing anybody's mind when it comes to a truck? We all make OUR choice for a truck based on
what we plan to do with it.
To think you and your opinion are important to anybody else is to grandfie yourself.

Cameron could not get his Raptor to Mission Santa María, and I have taken all three of my Tacomas there. A Raptor is an F-150, and his is a crew cab.
Big woopie!
This cameroon guy just needs to park at point he was afraid to pass, then walk or mtn bike
You people need to get out of AC truck cab, do you good to get some exercise, trim down, be healthy!
Woke!

NOW! Tell me what "Cameron" has to do with Toyota/Ford dimensions?
Cameron, a professional Baja race truck driver could not get his Ford Raptor (F-150 size) to a popular but extreme off road location... one that I can
with my mid-size truck. There is a difference in ability and sometimes it is just a few inches that makes it... vehicle length, vehicle width, and
ground clearance.

I have only heard of him here, cause dk fawns over him.
If you dont follow knuckledragging news, you probably never would hear of him.
I think he is best known for pitching monster energy swill and having sensitive ear tips, perhaps too many sunburns?
Woke!

Mr Steele runs a very nice business, helps the people of Baja and spends a bunch of time there, got goat on all three counts.
DK, I ran my 2500 long bed in there. I am sure CS could get in there if he wanted too. It's a pretty bad place to break a truck, sometimes not doing
something is the smart move.
