    New Tacoma vs Colorado vs Ranger

    If I go Ranger it will be a 21-23 and then if it's a Tacoma I guess I will go 2024 sr5 and have to add the locker. I do like the looks of the new Tacoma. One strange thing with Tacoma's new access cab is the access doors don't open anymore. One pretty cool thing about the access cab Tacoma, is...

    New Tacoma vs Colorado vs Ranger

    Help with a midsize truck decision. I am going to buy a Ranger or Tacoma, I don't think I will buy a new one b/c I am only interested in an access cab 6ft bed. I also need a locking diff. ( I know I can add one). I guess you can still get a 2024 Tacoma 4x4 access cab just no the TRD (so no...

    In my experience anytime I have inquired about a trade with a dealer the amount was quite a bit less than what I got with a private sale.

    pricing help

    I am not sure I want out of it. I don't need to sell it. It's just a thought. The truth is I use it for work. I am annoyed with work b/c they pay for gas but not maintenance. With a diesel, we all know maintenance is just more, especially when driving offroad. I asked them if an HD truck was...

    pricing help

    I stopped into a Ford dealer today to see what they offer, of course, they told me the flatbed takes away from the price. They did say that it is worth it in the 40s and they would go higher on a trade. For my laughs, I asked what they had for me to trade up to and they showed me a bunch of...

    Beater Wagon

    I wonder why we don't see more of these in the "Overland Industry". It seems like a great platform. There are plenty of people driving way older vehicles

    Beater Wagon

    excited to see the progress here. I have been considering a 2007-2013 PW myself. It would be a work truck / daily driver for me. I do about 25-30k a year and half of that is all dirt. I have always loved the older quad-cab. I think the 5.7 hemi is a great platform if taken care of. Congrats

    New Tacoma vs Colorado vs Ranger

    I have been skimming this thread, and some great comparisons have been made. I am considering downsizing from a full-size HD truck back into a midsize. My main reason is maintenance costs. I use my truck for work and put about 30k a yr on the vehicle. Half of that is Dirt. It seems like every...

    Not fishing at all. Still not sure I want to sell. I am considering downsizing. Since the truck is not standard, I am not sure how to price it if I sold it.

    Why don't we see more Ford Ranger builds

    As I was walking around the Ford dealer the other day biding my time before paying the Diesel tax for my F250 to get fluids drained, an oil change, and filters, I started looking at the new / slightly used trucks. The truck that I found the most interesting was the Ranger. I will admit, I love...

    questions about an Fj62 with an L83 v8

    Thanks for the help, I should have been more clear in my initial posting. The part that I don't know about is the Texas Speed AFM/DOD delete kit. Do you have any knowledge of using that kit?
