This Taco will do much better in the snow, especially where I live. Plus its got some great "off road" features including a locking rear differential, something you don't find in many 4wd anymore...this and the Rubicon are the only two (in this type price range) I can think of that come with a factory e-locker.
My brother has a full-size dodge that hasn't been the best truck, biggest problem was transmission, but has alot of electrical bugs.
All the Tacoma's I know of have been bullet-proof.

Needless to say, my Tundra does not have the TRD package.
I am happy for you, and I have a Tundra myself, but I gotta say I cannot imagine why anyone at Toyota though putting TRD on the side of their product was a good idea. My eye always fills in the missing letter.

Yeah that may come off I haven't decided yet.
Nice truck, by the way.

So now that you are getting rid of it what was the mpg on the Dodge?
I think you are going to miss having 4 real doors. The extended cabs are a little tight, especially if you need to take 3 adults with you.

I doubt it will be an issue. My wife has a Subaru outback and we use that for trips and if the occasion came up to transport other adults we'd take her car. We don't have kids, just dogs so it should work out fine.
This Dodge was a diesel pig...terrible motor IMO compared to the 5.9..12 around town, 14 on the highway. My 06 5.9 got 23 on the highway with 35" tires and a300 lb steel front bumper.
I'll still have the Dodge for bit before my new truck gets here.
Excellent choice! Now you won't need this ...

LOL. Ed has you straightened here,so I'll just say great looking new truck. Congrats. [:D][8D][^]

I have a king cab nissan now and would like to take friends and family off road, can't do it in the extended cab.
Have been considering a diesel. I get 15/19 now with 87 octane
- which is a helluva lot cheaper than diesel. Think I'll keep what I have an add an older diesel to the fold.
This Tacoma will do far better in the snow especially where I live..that diesel was too heavy, and got bogged down on our hill in bad weather..this Tacoma will zip right up the road
Good looking truck.
Totally Agree - Mark

Thanks Fellas!!! I am going to be getting more anxious waiting for it to get here!!! This is worse than waiting on that GB gun to ship!!
While I traded the '93 Explorer in for the '02 Ranger... The DODGE ain't goin' no where. [:D]
Or at least it was 'till some jerk wad torched it one night a few years back.
I plan to take the engine/transmission out and put 'em in one with a blown engine.
Problem is... That engine is so tough... I haven't found one with a blown engine yet... [B)]
Enjoy your Taco... I'm sure you'll like it. [;)]
I only put 4500 miles on that Dodge in a 1.5 years...I think that's part of the issue with mechanical stuff, I just wasn't driving that diesel enough.

And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
I'm supposed to pick up my new truck today!!! Just waiting on the salesman to call and tell me its ready!!! Oh the anticipation!
