Usually it's the transmission that's slipping or just puked out the exhaust. Sure, I could go buy some clapped out diesel and mod the shit out of it but then I wouldn't have a $25k Tacoma w/30k miles and a FULL Certified Pre-Owned Toyota warranty that covers me to 100k miles, would I? I also wouldn't have as capable an off road vehicle as I currently have, would I? I also wouldn't have something as nimble in the parking lots, traffic or back woods trails, would I? I mean sure, if I planned to tow the space shuttle I might have use for such a beast... oh, wait. A Toyota truck did that with a lot less power I might add so maybe *gasp* power isn't everything. I could bring up how my 4x4 Tacoma is the most reliable vehicle made and has the best resale value of any vehicle made (car or truck). I could go on about how you find this truck in more remote locations of the world working more reliably in more extreme conditions where failure is not an option but I won't. I could go on about why my truck is perfect for ME but being as this is a thread for a picture of your recent purchase I don't see how that is important. I see no reason to get involved in this ePeen contest because I don't care to over a stupid truck. With that, I'm done with this topic in this thread. If you wish to discuss this further start another thread or PM me.
Enjoy your Dodge and have a nice day.
