So my girlfriends father came over lastnight and I asked him to park his GMC 1500 in the driveway. After 3 attempts he was able to swing it into my driveway. Cars park extremely close to my driveway and trying to swing a truck of that size makes the manueverability very difficult. Zee oh six, Not offended at all man. I appreciate all the feedback good or bad. ---

I have worked on Toyotas and Nissans and of the 2 the Toyotas seem to be better designed and have a slightly higher build quality. A friend of mine has had several tacos and literally beat the life out of them. The last one held up to 12psi boost and nitrous till it blew a hole in the piston making about 500 whp. He then put about another 8k on it running on 5 cylinders, before trading it in for the 150% value deal. So I would say taco over frontier. I also agree with the others that a full size domestic will yield the same gas milage and put you further ahead. I currently own a full size diesel, but previously had 2 smaller trucks. My trucks have increased in size as my tow needs have. If you can borrow a diesel when needed I would stick to a GM gas powered vehicle they have the easiest issues to fix on average. The newer Fords tend to have the plugs sieze in the head and break, making for a very long day. Dodge gas motors are ok, but milage is and power don’t compare to GM. Just my 2 cent opinion, if I were in the market for a gas powered truck it would be GM with a 5.3 ---

J, have you considered 07 and up Silverados? They’re priced just about the same (in some cases cheaper!!) than a Tacoma, and get similar fuel mileage. ---

They’re priced just about the same (in some cases cheaper!!) than a Tacoma, and get similar fuel mileage. I have. The problem is I don’t have anywhere to park it. I’m pretty set on getting a Tacoma I think. I’ve heard nothing but good things about them. ---

I’ve been doing some searching and it appears to me that vehicles in Vermont are slightly less expensive. Has anyone ever dealt with purchasing a new or certified used vehicle out of state? Do you find it to be cost effective to do so? [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/in-the-market-for-a-truck/253852.md?page=3)
