y2kbanshee9187 Posted April 6, 2005 Report Posted April 6, 2005 Well My Dodge Ram broke down and I am probably selling it. But I am looking for a truck, I need one for my mowing business and ofcourse the shee. I wanna find a Toyota Tacoma. They would be a hell of a lot better on gas+ more reliable. I am 17 so my dad is basically buying the truck. We know a guy that owns a car lot and he is looking to get us a good deal if we cant find a truck around here. But my dad wants to spend more $ to try to get something newer and American, like a Dodge Dakota or something, but I would rather get a Toyota cause I think it would hold up better. The Toyotas are a little higher priced but I think it would be better, he is thick headed and wont listen but... I will be happy with anything as long as it will haul my mower for my business but...what u guys think? Quote
locogato11283 Posted April 6, 2005 Report Posted April 6, 2005 i had a toyota truck for my first vehicle. ran great and no problems. got good gas mileage too..those new tacomas are pretty damn sweet for sure.. Quote
y2kbanshee9187 Posted April 6, 2005 Author Report Posted April 6, 2005 Yea they are, definitely cant get a new one though. I dont like the new style of some of the cars though, I think in the new Toyotas they have that circular stuff around the dash and all. Im not into that much but... Some of them look too futuristic or something, cant explain it, just like the old styles of some cars better.. Thanks loco. Quote
NugShee Posted April 6, 2005 Report Posted April 6, 2005 chevy z71 , 1996ish 350815[/snapback] no, I think he wants a truck that will last him a while seriously Toyotas are damn nice. Thats all I have (Pickup and 4runner) Quote
thegroup Posted April 6, 2005 Report Posted April 6, 2005 chevy z71 , 1996ish 350815[/snapback] good choice right here Quote
XxMeltIcexX Posted April 7, 2005 Report Posted April 7, 2005 get a 1999 chevy 2500 and up. New body styles started then, plus i have one and its badass.. 6.0l and stick a supercharger on it and you've got 400+ horses. Just don't get halfton trucks, and dont get a ford. My 1985 chevy does the job just fine too... Eric Quote
MudSlinger09 Posted April 7, 2005 Report Posted April 7, 2005 i do trust toyotas tho , my uncle has a 03 tacoma 2wd and its pretty sweet got a nice little v6 , i wouldnt mind drivin it , no, I think he wants a truck that will last him a while hey now chevys are pretty dang long lastin , my dads old 83 silverado lasted a longggg time but gas went up and he sold it , i was pissed too cuz it was gonna be MY truck lol Quote
boonman Posted April 7, 2005 Report Posted April 7, 2005 My truck of choice is a Powerstroke Ford. Got one and love it. But, for a first, reliable truck that you don't have to dick with, a Toyota is a wise choice. Plenty of power to haul a small landscape trailer. My Ford is Simply awesome, but probably a little out of the price range... I wouldn't go with a Chevy. If you do go with a Ford, do NOT get a 90ish F-250 with the Twin I-beam front end. It's junk. You have to make a call here. Either go one ton, (full size) and plan ahead for your lanscape/mowing business or go with a compact pickup. They perform the same as a 1/2 ton and do the same job.

y2kbanshee9187 Posted April 7, 2005 Author Report Posted April 7, 2005 Theres no way Im gettin another V8 though. Gas is killing me! Tryin to get a smaller one, V6, or if its a Toyota, probably 4 cylinder. O, and I want a diesel but cant afford one. Quote
Banshee~ Posted April 7, 2005 Report Posted April 7, 2005 chevy z71 , 1996ish 350815[/snapback] as much as I love chevy's im going to say no...my brothers had nothing but problems on his ( 90 ). My friend has a toyota tundra, tacoma?? ( smallest one ) and its pretty nice. A very big guy can get in the back thou. Quote
MudSlinger09 Posted April 7, 2005 Report Posted April 7, 2005 yeah my bros z71`s motor blew up on him and crap but its still my favorite truck Quote
Toomey Banshee Posted April 7, 2005 Report Posted April 7, 2005 I picked this up for, get this, 1200 bux. New motor, hubs, tires, clutch, rebuilt trans, brakes, exhaust system with headers, springs, shocks. The thing drives straight as an arrow, steering wheel dont pull at all, shifts great. Just a great little 4X4. It needs a new radiator and windshield, thats it. My point is there are good deals out there, just take your time. Quote
