I have 2 Toyota pickups. A 1992 standard cab 4x4 that I just bought cheap and rebuilt the engine, and a 95 Tacoma standard cab, V6 (somewhat rare, almost too much power if you get into it), 4x4, in rebuild after my boy rolled it (will post pics after paint). I am bobbing the bed 8", swapping the cab, custom bumpers, losing the lower front valance and moving the lights up into the front bumper, etc..... Cheap mods to a truck that had no straight metal on it except the tailgate. My wife works at the Toyota dealership so parts and labor are reasonable.
I love them both. Fun to drive, good fuel mileage, and reliable. The new ones are really nice. I would like a 4 door, 4x4, red, with a V6 and automatic.
I only wish I had been smart enough to buy a Toyota years ago.
Where I have been Nissans are generally cheaper as they lose their value much faster. They are not as nice (IMO) or reliable. If you want a truck to buy cheap and run to 100k, the Nissan is not too bad. If you want 300K, get a Toyota. Alaska is full of Toys with super high mileage. They still fetch a premiun when sold.
