Small truck - Page 2

The few friends that have owned the Colorado ended up hating it and trading it within a few months. I dont have any info on the toyota.

What I would recommend for the smaller trucks is the Ford Explorer Trac. Ray and Mari have one and LOVE it, they've driven the wheels off it. Plenty of room even for a smaller truck and does just about anything you could want it to do.

The Sport Trac is an Explorer with a bed. Still built on the Ranger chassis though.

um, no that truck isnt I dont think. if anything, its now an F150 chassis really. explorers adn rangers stopped sharing a lot of dna a long time ago, oohhhhh about 3 redesigns back.

I'd go with a ranger, chevies are pieces of shit.

I had a Colorado crew cab as my work truck and it sucked. Shitty power, poor fuel mileage, and the bed was ridiculously small.
The only good thing was I was allowed to take it off road, since it was 4 wheel drive.

I've had 4 Rangers now(okay the one we have now is a Mazda, but it's the same thing).

If you have the money, I'd say go for a used Tacoma. New Rangers are ridiculously over priced, I have gotten all of mine used for dirt cheap. Run them til I kill them.

Yeah, I was hoping it was a good climate to get one with how much shit Toyota is getting, but I guess not. I am not going to sacrifice for a shitty light duty over the Tacoma. Looks like I will get a 1/2 ton
over any of the rest of the crap out there besides Tacoma.

I had a Sonoma, that shit fell apart all the damn time.
