Exactly why I'm driving a Tacoma right now.

It's more car than truck. Gas mileage is the suck, which is pretty truck-ish...

Ridgeline is pretty much an on road only truck... but it's honda so it'll run forever

Fixed it for ya...

I know the imports can make a decent vehicle. Just waiting for any of 'em to make a REAL pickup (ie diesel 3/4 or 1 ton)...

Toyota I think is coming out with their Diesel next year or 2010... I believe it'll be in 3/4 or 1 ton.

honda I believe is a LONG way away from that...

the problem though is toyota will build the truck but compared to the Domestics it'll be more expensive up front. not many people will buy it because of that. Toyota needs to bring back the quality BASE line trucks like they built their name on.

IE MY TRUCK... fucker doesn't have power anything... ok... it has power steering... but a rubber mat for a floor covering. manual windows... no A/C... 5 speed... but 1 ton rated axles... fully boxed frame... a motor that'll run 250,000 miles easy if you maintain it, and 150,000 easy if you don't.

To bad Toyota couldn't make a body last over 60K

those were the good ole trucks right there. the 4x4 with a 22RE under the hood and a 5 spd, with just like you said, bare essentials. they're still popular pickups, if they arent totally rusted out. the beds WERE the weak links though, but overall an outstanding truck that pretty much set the new standard for quality.

problem is that the masses wont buy a bare minimum type truck, its gotta have bells and whistles, satellite radio, gps, fruity air conditioning, what? a good ole road map, and the windows down at 55 aint good enough?

Let's see... I don't tow anything... I don't plow anything... I don't off-road anything... Why would I need a 1 ton?
