I do not need a four-door truck. It's me and my girlfriend our camping and rock-hounding gear. Sometimes the drives are two other states and weather changes so we may need to crash in the vehicle. On the truck brands what year and engines do you recommend?

Toyota 2. Dodge 1500 3. Ford F-150 Actually, the Dodge and Ford are a toss-up. Had a Dodge and put about 187,000 miles on it. I've got 92,000 on an F-150 The Toyota will have a shorter wheelbase and shorter turning radius. If Toyota Tacoma, the 6 cycl is good. If Tundra, heavier vehicle, V-8 The Dodge and Ford engines are proven durability. I am not a fan of Chevy or Nissan.

A Gen I Tacoma would make a nice rig, especially an outfitted TRD. 1987 Raider - Roxy 1988 Mighty Max 2.6L Turbo - Pearl 1997 Mountaineer V8 - Freddy 2000 Excursion V10 - Freya Page 2 of 2 1 2 Moderated by  4x4Wire, Dandeman, Mike Bondi  Hop To Mitsubishi Forums ------  Mitsubishi 4x4 and SUV Tech  Mitsubishi Diesels  Mitsubishi ArchiveToyota Forums ------  Early Toyota Trucks  Toyota 4Runner, FJ Cruiser &...  T100 & Tundra Forum  Tacoma Forum  Toyota Tech ArchiveJeep Forums ------  Jeep Talk  Jeep TechIsuzu Forums ------  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Talk  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Tech  Isuzu DieselsKia Forums ------  Kia Talk  Kia Sportage & Sorento TechOff Topic Chat ------  4x4 Gallery  Off-Topic Chat  Recreational Access & Land ...  Politics4xForums ------  Outdoor Gear  General 4x4 Discussion  Tools and Fabrication  General Communications  Amateur Radio  GPS and MapsParts Bin ------  Private Party - Garage Sale  Private Party - Items wanted  Vendors, Hot Deals, Group Buys4x4Wire Back Yard ------  Suzuki Forum  AZ Crawler Crew  Cal-Nev Crew  General Ford 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Dodge 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Chevy 4x4 & SUV ForumFeedback & Testing ------  Problems, Questions, Suggestions4x4Wire Staff ------  Forum Moderators  Problem Threads Print Thread Switch to Threaded Mode 5 Excellent 4 Good 3 Average 2 Bad 1 Terrible View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Homepage Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts
