Please delete if you are tired of reading about my never ending search for a
vehicle... believe me I understand.
We're going to test drive a Tacoma and a Frontier tomorrow. I know there is
no MPG benefit to getting a smaller truck, but no full size truck is
available with a manual transmission, at least no half tons. I think it may
be a good time to buy a Toyota, given the hysteria over the accelerator
pedal recall... and I was impressed with the salesman we used for my
brother's Tundra.
I'm leaning towards a Tacoma because the double cab has more interior room
and the factory supercharger available. What sucks is you can't get a
double cab / manual / long bed like you can in the Frontier, but the short
bed (5') should fit in our garage... (20" shorter than the space).
Another bonus with a smaller truck is I could justify buying new, especially
with the great financing rates right now.
