I have leased three Tacomas for 3 years each at 45,000 miles total. Started with a 2010, then a 2013 and now a 2017. They were/are double cabs 4x4 with V6's. The new truck, 2017, definitely struggles with towing as the transmission always seems to be searching for the sweet spot while towing my 12 foot enclosed aluminum trailer. Gas mileage without trailer is around 21 mpg but with trailer and heavy load or no load the mpg drops to 12. I do not do a lot of towing but if I did I would stay away from the newer Tacomas. My 2010 and 2013 towed fine but the newer one is a no!

Jeep had a Scrambler truck many years back I see a company makes a PU bed for the Jeeps(Looks Cool) they were going to start producing them but that has not happened yet.
Not locked into anything just can't work out of a full size truck they would wear me out climbing up and down all day! Here I need the power to bust drifts we don't get a lot of snow but what we get drifts so the fields are bare but the low spots and gates seem to drift the most.

They must make a shift kit for them to improve the shifting you would think?

Some dealerships are known for selling at a lower price, my friend in wy said everyone goes a place in SD. Few years back I got invoice price on ram truck, ordered truck from factory, through local dealership once and one in wy once, avoided all the extras they normally put on them, cut price on their commission, told them I'd give them 600$ over invoice to order truck, saved 3-4,000$, each truck

I have a 2013 Tacoma use it for work and love it, I do ADC for a living so it gets its share Of everything, put on around 40,000 miles a year and probably 10,000 miles with a trailer. It Does drop in mileage quite a bit but it sure pulls fine. I see quite a few low mileage 2013/2014 tacomas In the 20 thousand dollar range

Call Cotsco. I think they shop for auto deals. Thought you were joking but they do have a program for new vehicles!

Yep..If I'm not mistaken the EPA, Has has changed the landscape of the automobile industry. The the EPA mandates what will and shall be the auto industry production vechiles in the USA has to conform. I think that's why one sees lighter frames,engines,exhaust and on and on.

A full sized truck is about impossible to work out of any more without being part monkey no thanks they are just Cowboy Cadillac's anymore. 4 door boats that are more like a car then a truck today.

Trying to check what inventory is in my area went to one big dealer site and every time I click a search option no matter how minor the "can I help you" person would pop up. Just ticks me off once is fine but 3 times in the first 2 minutes is a pain make it tough to search that way looked at other places instead.
