How's that Tacoma treating you Trip?

I'm not so concerned about dirt, but snow. I know first-hand how light in the ass pickups are. My old truck, a '94 Chevy K1500 (4WD) with a 305, would get loose real easy in anything over a few inches- even with sandbags in the bed. That's why I wanted 4WD. The Tacoma has a composite bed, so it's even lighter. And then the Tacoma has a better power-to-weight ratio. 236 HP / 264 ft-lbs out of that 4.0L V6 and 3,910 lbs. Compared to 175 HP / 265 ft-lbs out of that 5.0L V8 and 4,567 lbs.

No snow where I live so I didn't even think about that. Nice truck! I like the pictures, congrats.

Really enjoying my new truck. Was able to turn into my driveway in one turn for the first time ever! The Tacoma has about half the turning radius of the Chevy.
