Tacomas are great trucks as long as it's not beat to sh*t... I love/loved both of my rangers though so I say just get another... and you can negotiate price... but at the end of the day it's up to you...

now... pics of any of these trucks??

 

answered your own post.

 

2001-2004 tacos= 2.4 for the 2wd base regular and extended cabs... 2.7 for the 4x4 and pre runners regular and extended cabs

I wiould buy another ranger.... I personally have NOT had good luck with Tacos

 

either make a down payment on a new taco with the 6 speed cuz they rip or go with the sonic blue ranger. theyre both awesome trucks so u really cant go wrong. id have to stick to the american economy personally

 

I'm going to look at that Tacoma this afternoon. I'm excited.

 

I prefer to stick to American vehicles.

 

Dont look at the ranger, then.

 

My Ranger was built right here in the good ole U S of A. (and I know what your gonna say next, but the parts are made in Mexico and else where).

 

umm buying the truck back and fixing it never crossed your mind? wtf

 

You would rather but back a base model truck that you have to fix than buy a truck with more options?

 

if you know what you're doing, you can save a ton of money by adding those options to your current truck and not having a truck payment just because you want power mirrors/locks/windows.

 

Ranger. I like Rangers and Tacoma (all years) just happens to be my absolute least favorite truck.

 

Yeah ok but then its the same truck in the end. Besides he is looking at a different make of truck.

 

It needs a new bed, rear bumper, and left tail-light, which wouldn't be that much. But the frame is also bent, which I don't know how much that would cost ot how hard it would be. And anyways, I really want a 4x4 and i love Tacomas.

 

i say go for the Tacoma. my g/f's dad has one with like 120k on it and it runs better than my truck. plus its super smooth on and offroad. unlike our rangers. dont get me wrong i LOVE my ranger but i would go for the Tacoma.

 

Got the Tacoma! I might post up pics later.

 

Nice. Congrats man.

 

Did you get the rear tow hook off the old truck?

 

Nope. Some guy offered me 75 bucks for it a little while back, so I sold it.

 

I think there might be a totaled part 2. Some lady ran a red light and T-boned me about an hour ago in the Tacoma i had only owned for 2 days. Ughhhhhh.

 

Well if thats the case MOST of the Toyota trucks sold in the United States are MADE in the United States. We have a BIG *** factory here in Texas.

 

wow thats some ****ty luck, sorry for this to happen to you man.

 

HAHAHAHAHA. That does suck.

Now you can go on a Taco forum and b*tch.

 

Holy Crap!!! That sucks. Maybe that was a sign saying you should get a car.

 

You have baaaaaaaad luck... no more driving for you... time to get a beater
