No 3/4 or 1 ton, but if your looking for a 1/2 ion truck you cold do a lot worse, then again the tacoma's or good also and they hold there value good if you trade it in a few years.
yeah but look at ford with the F-150 it has to be one of the best 1/2 tons out there from price, performnce/towing/hauling and reliability standpoint thats why they are the number #1 selling half-ton in north america while toyota comes in 4th behind the Dodge Ram 1500
driving a supercharged '98 Taco right now...it works 'okay' for towing my enclosed moto trailer, but I really want something with a larger bed and better towing capability...along with more room in the cab etc.
I thought I'd heard the Tundra would have a diesel option in the next couple years...it's a shame they don't put out a Tacoma diesel...
For my needs, I don't need an 'industrial strength' diesel for towing big stuff
Well if you want the gutless 5.4 I say go for it, course they have a tubo v-6 that suppose to be pretty strong, corse if I was gona spend all that kinda money I'd just buy the 5.7 have the dealer install the toyota factory turbo and run with the 600hp beast under full Toyota factory warranty, cause it might be a Toyota, but with that kinda power I gota believ somethan is gona break.
Well Toyota sell plenty of little small diesel trucks just like your talking about, unfortunately no in the USA. They are popular and bullet proof they would rip the guts out of the domestic truck market.
well I heard the 1gen Tundra iForce V8s were blowing out the bottom ends with the TRD supercharger, so they stopped producing them for that motor.
The unit on my 3.4L V6 has a pre-ignition knock/ping that Toyota couldn't fix, which really ticks me off. I could spend another $1-2k in aftermarket parts to address the problem, but screw that...

It is 4th by a landslide as well. Ford is still #1 and has been for many years. Never the less, I would drive a Dodge or a Chevy for HD use also. The Toyotas are just that.... a toy for little boys! lol

Gutless 5.4? Hardly, and at least its power is where you need and want it. Not to mention the bank vault frame on them. Horsepower don't mean shyt on a truck anyway. That is unless you wanna race it with your groceries in the back from the supermarket to your house? Remember reading the Ugly Duckling when you were a kid? You roll up to a jobsite with a Toyota when the field is full of Ford, Dodge and Chevy and you will be the laughing joke of the day. And you will be the only one!

Just don't make the mistake of going to a crazy Redneck party and hooking bumpers up to the 5.7l beast or yall go for a ride. Man they got a pile of Toyotas on the job site's I go on, many working as service trucks, naw there holding there own, heck don't be a hater, there the reason you got the 6 spd trans and the 6.2L back, course they better, cause I heard the next generation is gona be direct injection pumping out 450+ hp and 30mpg change is a coming, if you got a descent truck now is a good time to hold on, plenty of new thangs fixing to hit the market, bout time someone woke the truck market up.
My brother inlaw was given a new 2010 by his bosss. He always drove chevy trucks;but he say he loves the truck.I drove it all I can say is its very powerful and ride smooth.
