Good place to learn about trucks?
 

I'm looking to get a toyota tacoma but first I want to do some research to see what the best options are out there, brands, prices, reliability etc.

Any good websites or forums you can recommend?

Pick up a copy of the Consumer Reports Buying Guide. My local library has a shelf with all of the guides for the past 20 years.

when i was lookin at cars i really wanted a tacoma... one with 4wd and all that...

a little beyond my budget tho...


i havnt heard anything bad about them...

Car & Driver did a report on the Toyota, Dodge, Chevy, Ford and Nissan.


On ya and the Toyota finished 4th and the Nissan was 1st:)

Sweet info, thanks! I'll take all the forum links I can get.

Why not get a hold of the dealership, if its a 04/05 your looking for they should have little books that tell you what type of engine it comes with, colours and cab size(if there are different size's). I know Dodge has them little books for every model that comes out, very handy.

You can order them online from Toyota.

Or do that:D

Toyota is ok, but if you want better interior fit and finish I'd recommend a Dodge Dakota. I am on my second Dakota and there is not a truck IMO that beats the power, performance and looks of a Dakota. I did a few test drives at a Chevy event, all other manufacturers were there for comparison, The new Colorado and Toyota were not good IMO, too much body sway, not enought power, etc.
