Buying a used truck this upcoming spring and can't decide which to buy.
For Tacoma i'll buy 05+
For Silverado i'll buy 08+

Question is.. which ><

my budget is $20,000

well they are both in different categories to start with, wat are you gona use it for?

My personal choice would be the yota, but thats because it will get better mpg, and I would RARELY be towing anything. Hope that gives you some insight.

toyota.

Get the tacoma. Better dd if your not using the truck as a steady work horse. Better mpg, smaller, imports last, tacomas are boss. ETC

Tacoma.



Or 6 speed Frontier.

Have any of you actually owned a tacoma? Its not a 1/2 ton and the mileage is not that great. Same as the ranger and colorado. If you are considering a 1/2 ton you shouldn't be looking at 1/4 tons and vice versa.

I had a 1/4 ton with the same motor they usef in 1/2 tons and some 3/4 tons

I loved it, nothing like havibg half the weight but same pulling power as a 1500 or bigger in a dakota
1994 318 dakotsa ftw

Thing was a pig on fuel ofc but the big motor in a little truck is awsome. And i thibk i was the only one dumb enough to push my truck to its true limits but i would pull/cary more than any of my frienda with those 1500 chevys at 16-18 years old

No word of a lie , but u ever see 2 tons of scrap metal in a 1/4 ton? Done it more times thn i can count. Bush machines and torchs ftw, skidder chains, etc

This. I get 15-16 mpg average with my 06 Tacoma.

I only got 20 in my 4cyl 5 speed ranger.

07+ 5.3 silverados are 14/19 17avg for a 2wd. Mileage is basically the same.
