New Truck

• bases_loaded

  

  Ford f 150 super crew 4x4 or Toyota Tacoma double cab with trd sport package?
  
  Anyone have any suggestions?
  
  My dads two Toyota trucks are both running and both have over 350,000 miles on them. I test drove the ford tonight and it has alot of room in it. They are about 2k difference in price.

  Hmmm, I like the newer F150s, but I'm partial to Tacos.
  
  Go with the Tacoma.

  Depends on what you want to do. Any hauling/towing? Ford all the way. Anything else? Ford.

  Not too familiar with Tacomas are you?

  Very different types of trucks. Since you are asking between "These" two trucks, you should take the Tacoma, since you obviously won't "need" the F150, you might as well take the smaller truck that holds its value very well.
  
  Serious question.. New Cell Phone: Should I go with an Iphone5 or a Motorola Razr (Flip)?

  Actually I am, which is why I said it depends on what he plans to use it for.

  Looking for a truck I can haul if I want but mostly no hauling or towing

  so.. any truck?
  
  I owned a 2009 Ford 150 it's awesome for space, I thought it towed well, averaged about 18 miles a gallon. It does drive rougher though (at least rougher than a GM truck)
  
  Tacoma & Frontier are very comparable, except with rebates generally Frontier will end up being 2,000 cheaper. (It towes more and is a "true" 4x4, tacomas, I beleive only spin 3 of the 4 wheels in 4 wheel drive)
  
  I personally Dodge's suck, but the Ram did ride very smooth as well, and was comfortable.
  
  I never drove a Ridgeline (which is a unibody)
  
  I wouldn't touch a Titan.

  I've narrowed it down to the f150 xlt super crew and Tacoma trd sport.

  Although I could check out a frontier

  I really think you just need to drive some (if you havent) they all drive so different.
  
  If you are considering a Tacoma or smaller truck, you may not like it as much after driving the full size "man" truck. Just so much more space in the Full Size.

  Guess was just looking for users with experience with these two. The frontier has a small bed

  Has anyone ever had a problem with a Toyota?

  It comes in an extended bed, just harder to find.

  Your "everything else" comment threw me off. I agree, if frequent towing/hauling, Ford all day.

  Ford. Love my F 250's.

  I threw that in cause I am a Ford guy, but was serious about depending on the use.

  14 mpg and a small bed?
  
  The new ones look pretty good though. I'm a little scared of the f150 seeing as how Zwick didn't come in and support it.
  
  Good point ironman. I can't think of any.
• rydawg5

  14 mppg if your lucky
• se-alum

  

  My cousin gets about 9mpg out of his Titan, it lifted with the bigger tires though.

  Thats like asking whether you should get a Scion or a Taurus.
  
  Obviously you don't need an F150 so get a Colorado.
