BTW, what exactly would you use this truck for? Any towing? Would you use it to haul things around in? Bikes? ATV? bodies? Whats your Daily commute like?

Here's my Tacoma.

^ Didn't know much about that truck prior to this thread. Just did some reading, and I'm impressed. Reasonable price, and (standard) features that are great for those who really use such a vehicle.

The problem with the SVT, is its big, and way to heavy. And the few people i know that have one, will never ever take it off road. If you aren't going off road, don't buy it.

It's still a BA looking truck though.

I'm having a serious dilemma right now with my truck. 2005 Silverado 1500 crew cab, 160k miles, some body damage, etc. Needs tires, likely needs new shocks, new plugs/wires, ad nauseum. Do I keep maintaining this one in hopes of seeing 200k+ miles or go ahead and get something new?

All that extra power......and still no go. I think a ranger with a 4.0L is faster than that tank.

On another note, re-sale value on a Tacoma, is amazing. They hold their value very very well. Even with high mileage.
