Totatled ranger
So the day after christmas I hit a telephone pole and seems i might have done enough damage to be condisdered totaled. So now im thinking about what next to get if they come back and total it so any sugestions would be awsome and any info on any of the new trucks would be great. Im looking for something a little bigger then a ranger.

I looked into the new 05 Tacomas before I settled on buying another Ranger. I spent a lot of time on the Tacoma boards and the new Tacos are not the trucks they used to be. The frames are very weak under the bed, many of the offroaders are having to reinforce them on their own. The beds warp, resulting in not being able to close the tailgate, there is a nagging issues with sagging rear springs that have resulted in many TSBs and reduced payload ratings. On paper I was 100% sold and ready to buy a new Access Cab. After listening to a lot of owners I was completely turned off.
I liked the Frontiers but there are no new ones around me to buy. The 3 local Nissan deals have 0 on their lots right now and I didnt want to drive 70 miles to test drive a truck.

Yeah ok. My 2010 auto doesn't blow a clutch slave cylinder every year, leak every fluid even after I have seals changed, ride like crap or anything else like my Ranger did. I get a slight vibration when I mash the gas but I have heard there is no real fix for that from Toyota but all well. I'll just get an aftermarket shaft and be done with it. Most car companies have problems with the first year(s) of a new model. The difference is that Toyota makes an effort to fix them.

You dont need to get all defense about everything. People's testimonies on owning a Tundra isnt good enough? Then what is? I should buy one and figure the problems out myself? I was just stating that I wouldnt get a Tundra. No one is bashing you on your choice. I am personally 100% satisfied with my Ranger. No problems
What ya looking for Alan? Sticking with Ford or something else?

Its not like one person is having issue, many people are.
We almost bought a Tundra and or Tacoma, but the reviews from people turn me away.
Its a nice truck, powerful, rides good, but overall not worth my dime.
Tacos are way overpriced!
Glad your having good luck, but not a chance I was going to take.
