Which Truck?

[royalflush313]

I need to buy a small truck soon (like the Ford Ranger size).

I know that I want a 4 banger (fuel efficiency), prefer bench seat up-front, and 180+cm bed length.
And I don't need a 4wd either.

So any suggestions?

Looks like my picks are limited to Ford Ranger, Toyota Tacoma, and Madza BXXX, any help would be cool'

My dad just bought a 4 cyl Tacoma Pre-Runner (2wd with 4x4 suspension). It's badass... way better than a ranger.

Toyota Tacoma. Toyota reliability and toughness with good looks. If I ever buy a truck, it will only be either a Toyota or a Nissan.

Toyota FTW. proven reliability

i'll add to the toyota bandwagon

Me too, especially up here, toyotas are everywhere for a reason. Relaible, tough, practicle, bombproof. For those who have seen the Top Gear episode, one of the best.

mazada b series is pretty much a ranger from what i know. Everyone seems to say toyota but is really worth the extra $$ they command on the market? ( around hear diff if a few thousand)

So i guess it all depends on how much your going to be using the truck, what your going to be doing an so on. I drive a 98 explorer with 160k miles on it and i havnt had any issues in the year i've owned it. A ranger is where my money would go...

If your not looking for serious off roading or anything like that.... Toyota for shure.

mazda b is the same as ford ranger

on or off road, the toy is top out of those choices. nissan frontiers feel horribly underpowered, tacoma's are very punchy.

for a small gas truck, i'd say tacoma
full size gas nissan titan
big ol diesel I gotta go with the chevy

My 89 toyota had 289+ and ran like new. FTW

Tacoma. Before the bimmer I had one and, despite the fact that i beat it like a step-child and neglected it like a bastard child, it ran like a champ the day I sold it.

Just watch for rust, the steel they used on the bodies is shit. Beyond that youd be hard pressed to kill it.

toyota ftw!!!

Rangers are pieces of shit, I wouldn't recommend one.

I would recommend a ford ranger (4cyl 2wd) to anyone, they are cheap to maintain, cheap to fix, cheap to buy and you can find a decent one almost anywhere. Just my two cents...
