What do you think of the Tacoma X-Runner?
I've been checking these out, and they are very appealing. All the aspects of a sporty car with a pickup bed for detailing stuff. I like it, do you?
Check some out:

I love it. I had heard rumors that it out-ran a 350Z on the track (not drag strip, of course.) Whether it's true or not, it's still a darn good looking truck none the less.
Had it been in my budget, I would have seriously considered one.

I love it too, it's got the same 245hp V6 in my 4Runner and has an optional supercharger. The only thing that bugs me is that the X-Runner only comes with rear drum brakes.
Toyota used the 350Z as the "benchmark" when they were designing the X-Runner, so it's supposed to be really close to it. Pretty impressive if you ask me.

I think it is a pretty cool truck, but if I was to get one, I'd prefer the X runner underpinnings on the stock appearing Tacoma. Sleepers are much more fun.

I think it out-slalomed the 350, IIRC.

Read the Feb. edition of MotorTrend on their 2005 Truck of the Year. The X-runner pulled .89g on the skidpad and 65 mph through the slalom. The 350Z pulls .90 on the skidpad.

Bump, I like mine a lot. Don't miss my G-35 at all. Well, maybe a little.

I was just looking at Tacomas for a few weeks and I don't like those models. I want a truck for a truck. I don't want it lowered with ground effects to get ripped off. If I was to have my pick at any new truck right now it would be the Tacoma Nismo model.

Yeah, I hear you. I didn't buy it because it was a truck. Although, It has come in handy having to haul stuff now and then. I bought it because it was affordable, sporty, 6 speed manual, not a lot of 'em around, and it will hold its value like crazy. BTW, I think you meant NISSAN for the NISMO. |

I dig it. I thought you wanted an offroading rig though? Am I thinking of someone else?
