Are you just looking for someone to share in your misery? ;)

JP, I know you will research your new purchase with all due diligence. Regarding the Tundra, I would pay particular attention to some of the internet reports (I know...it is the iternet :huh:) regarding excessive bed shake at certain speeds. May be nothing, may be something.

Good luck with your decision. :bigups

2009 Silverado Z71 4x4 - LTZ (decked out). Big V-8. Bright red. What do you think?

you got the red right (victory red is a KILLER color. I assume that's what the red is still called...)

But you forgot to make that V8 a nice, torquey Duramax Diesel :rockon They're SUPER quiet/reliable and can easily get over 20 MPG with a couple minor mods.

Mr Clean is right, I'd be great at spending other people's money :D

I don't like the look of the F150's.

I don't want a Dodge - period.

I don't want a Nissan.

The only things I can even remotely come up with are the Silverado, another Tacoma, a Tundra. As a very long shot I thought about looking at the FJ Cruiser, but I don;t know if I would like them or not.

I did not know it could be so hard to find a vehicle.

I am familiar with the Tacomas, I like Toyota resale, I have wrecked two Tacos that I walked away from. Con of the Tacoma is the V6 - it would be nice to have a V8 to tow my boat. That's what has me looking to the Tundra or Silverado. I wish ford had kept the styling more in line with the previous gen F150's, because I would have considered one of those as well.

Good choice on not wanting a Dodge- period :rockon new ones are ugly as SIN anyway...

Nissan is a plastic box...

I heard rumor that the 09 or 2010 Tacomas would have the 4.7 V8 as an option. I'm too lazy to check and see if they will, but if so, you get the best of both worlds... Your trusty Taco and a V8 :)
My neighbor has the identical Tacoma you had, he says it tows his 19.5' Supra far superior to his old '94 F250 with a big block. How big of a boat do you have?

But I'm a Chevy guy... So I say Chevy :D The newer trucks (07+) are no longer torsion bar suspension (CRAP!) and have been changed over to an independent/coilover set-up like the 'Yota's. MUCH better ride and handling. And way less of a PITA to lift, if you ever go that route... And the Chevy's look weird without any lift... a leveling kit or a 3.5-4" lift makes 'em look great :cool:
 
Haha, I am good. Just heard from the insurance today - they are cutting me a check for ole Whitey. Getting a lot more for it than I thought they would offer, which is good.

I think I have found another truck - you care to guess what it is? :D

we know :rolleyes: another Taco :D :lol2:
 
I think I have found me a Tacoma. Not 100% sure yet though. Depending on how things go, I should know for sure in a few days.

Awww...what else are you going to do with your free time? :D

OK RED

Okay, on your advice I am back in "my thread." :D

I can only say that I thought I was going to get that bright blue color, but after looking at other vehicles in the lot I saw a red I really liked. So.... I have them looking for a Tacoma in that color now. They're going to be so tired of seeing me by the time I finally decide.

So, I may really need some Natty's red... :)
