    Need help deciding, Why a Tacoma over a full size truck?

    I would also add that I chose a Tacoma because It came with a manual tranny, yeah I’m old school and like the control. Also it was important to buy a truck that has not had a major recent overhaul. I’d rather have one that’s a little behind the times rather than one that’s on the bleeding edge
