Re: Midsize Truck?
I've had my 07 Tacoma access cab for about 6 months and really love it. It has plenty of power for everyday use. It even does fine even with a bike in the bed and towing a uhaul. I usually get about 21-22 mpg hwy and a bit less around town.

Re: Midsize Truck?
still no small diesels or turbo diesels that can bang out 30+mpg on a 1/2 ton format, I guess? Makes no sense to me

Re: Midsize Truck?
So, 17mpg vs 21mpg is, for 15K miles a year, 882gal - 714gal or 168 gals/yr. Is it worth the size difference? I sure like having a full size bed that can carry a 4x8 sheet of plywood.

4X8 beds are not common anymore. My two kids have a Tundra and a Hemi Ram and both are 4 door with 1/2 size beds. But like someone already pointed out, few trucks are farm and ranch anymore. Most are kid toting station wagons.

 That said, the wife is already telling me that she's done with "the minivan thing" and my VW won't tow anything, which means in a couple of years, I get to buy a Taco (Or other, similar sized truck), to bring it back on topic.

Re: Midsize Truck?
Had a 2002 crew cab 4x4 tacoma. Was a great truck and the only midsize with real rear leg room at the time along with easy access. Dealer in Plano made my decision to never own another Toyota product. Couldnt get an oil change without being hassled for more charges. Traded for a 2004 duramx to tow car and bikes. Tocoma didnt have the chassis or power to tow car trailer
