[QUOTE="youngbuck, post: 532199, member: 22987"] I suppose I'm different than most. I prefer smaller trucks. I drive a lot of places a fullsize truck can't go. Domestec compact trucks ar NOT reliable. My truck was made in Tennesse. If I could buy a chevy/ford that could do what my truck can, I would buy one. I had a dodge rental whn my truck needed some body work (guy ran a red light). It was awfull, gutless, and a 4wd with the ground clearance of a car. I put a small lift with 33" tires on. I have about 12" of ground clearance with a short wheelbase. Enough room for 4 people, 5 is tight. It came with an electronic rear locker. I can't break down 30miles down some two tracker. I drive a Nissan Frontier because it won't lay down on me. I have buddies that drive Tacomas for the same reason. they go anywhere, dont break down and last a lot longer than domestic compacts. I really want to see some small deisel motors in compacts. They run them overseas. Why not in the US market? Tons of torque, great milage. If I could have gotten a small turbo diesel in my truck, I would have in a second. I know in NZ a lot of the guides drive compact turbo diesel pick ups. Domestic compact trucks don;t hold a candle to their Japenese counterparts. For fullsize trucks, domestic deisels are the way to go. My dad drives a Dmax, and my roommates dad a stroker, my cousin a cummins.For fullsize gas trucks, the tundra takes the cake IMO. Their motor drives like a deisel. The chevy 6.0 never have drove like that. I feel the pain of the guy with the 6.0 stoker. My cousin, a darn good mechanic, hates them. Ive seen more problems on the 6.0 stokers than almost everything else put together. [/QUOTE]
