Drove a Toyota Tacoma Today

My buddy needed to borrow my truck to pull his tractor from one place to another yesterday. The Yota gasser could not handle it.

Anyway, that truck felt like driving a Tonka Toy after 6 months of driving Big Red. It just felt cramped and really low to the ground.

My point is.......I love my truck.


Edited to say Tundra..........not Tacoma

No, it was the Tundra. I screwed up the original post and cannot edit the subject line for some reason.

In the Tundras defense it was not the new one. The one I drove was a 05 or 06.

For the 5.7 V8 2007 models. The 05 & 06 models had a 4.7 with about 270hp. And they are a half ton. Not to be compared with 3/4 or 1 ton or MDTs.

They sure present them in that commercial like a "heavy duty" type truck. It's a good thing most americans are dumb and just watch TV. Toyota will sell a bunch of those ugly things.

As does every other manufactuer. No one is going to advertise their truck as light duty, people want trucks to work hard. The Tundra is a great 1/2 ton. Its not a 3/4 or 1 ton pulling beast like a Cummins Ram, but it does what it is intended to do well.

Thats the joke. The new tundra commercials make it seem like they can pull and do anything but then they use Chevys to pull their race trailers..
