I will be a Toyota person for life. My first was a 1994 Toyota pickup that was still running strong when I traded it in a few years back. It was super reliable and I never had a problem with it. I now have a 2005 4Runner that has been just as reliable.

Can't Decide


My new Baja rig will be a Toyota 4x4, 4 door cab, but can't decide between a Tacoma or a Tundra (yet).

One of the deciding factors will be the ability to pull a 22 or 24 foot lightweight camping trailer.

Wish they would put the 4Runner V-8 in the Tacoma!!!!

Where's Volkswagen and Honda? :yes:

Honda Element to get down here and a '69 Baja Bug to rip around the peninsula in. Have no complaints about either vehicle.

For those who don't know Travelpearl (Debra), her '92 is a Toyota 4Runner...

El Camote: You can voter in the 'Other' column! Perhaps those who are also driving 'Others' can say what brand/ model... Like Land Rover (The Squarecircle's ride)!

2001 Ford F150 Supercrew 4X4. 106,000 miles. Running great after replacing several ignition coils at around 95k. It's on its 3rd set of BFGs and 2nd set of Bilsteins. My only current complaints are that the steering wheel and driver's side visor are starting to fray a bit, and the rear brake noise when they get dusty is pretty bad. I did have some issues earlier, including a cracked intake manifold, a leaky head gasket and rear seal, a shot steering arm, and a broken leaf spring, but fortunately they were covered by the extended 5 yr/60,000 mile warranty (which my friendly service writer at the local Ford dealer graciously raped, providing me with replacements of the above as well as a host of other goodies). I love the feel and roominess of that truck, but after another 50,000 miles or so, I may be eyeing a more reliable Toyota. Don't tell my F150 though. I don't want to hurt its feelings.
