    The dieimma of purchasing a new Toyota

    If you're doing that much driving, I'd get the one that was the most comfortable to drive. For me, it would be the 4runner. I think the only benefit for you & the Tacoma is that you get a good separation between the dirty things & the clean things. If you don't mind dirtying your interior...

    Pros and Cons: Tacoma w/FWC vs. E350 Diesel

    You're comparing apples & oranges here. If you plan to use the vehicle has a daily driver & only camp occasionally, get the Tacoma. If you need a full time camping, expedition, utility vehicle, then get the van. You'll have much more room & be much more comfortable living out of a van than a...

    4x4 Mini-Motorhome conversions?

    But are they good candidates for 4wd conversions? Don't get me wrong, I think the Toyota Dolphins & Chinooks are great vehicles (providing the correct axle is underneath them). Perhaps not for 4wd types of purposes thought. If one wants to stay with Toyota, I think the Bandit would make an...

In addition, engine power is going to be lacking, especially if using a 22re. Adding a camper (unless...

The previous owner had put 225s on it when they got new tires, and then the speedo read 10 mph high at 65 mph. I put the original tire size back on, and now the speedo is only 4 mph high at...

    Tacoma or 4Runner

    As mentioned earlier, if you need a truck, get the truck. For instance if you hunt, a truck is a much better option. Otherwise get the 4runner. The SUV will be more comfortable in the long run. There are pros & cons over each vehicle, some drawbacks to the Tacoma: -If you're travelling with...

    Suburban/Tahoe barn door question...

    Luckily this debate doesn't create much fervor. :) It also depends on the vehicle. On my old suburban ('85) I hated the tailgate. I had to manually wind the window down into the tail gate, then lower the (heavy) tailgate slowly. The extra 1 1/2' of tail gate made it hard to access things in...
