Let's talk trucks. If you could buy a truck on sale today what would you get? I would honestly buy a Toyota Tacoma TRD sport 4x4 in white. I love the way the new Tacoma's look and drive and I'm just a huge Toyota fan.

I really don't like trucks. Today's trucks are so stupidly big, and most are driven as the family car that they don't even make sense to own. Trucks used to be at an appropriate height that you could get in and out of them without a step stool, and you could easily reach over the bed sides to put stuff in it. Now you have to build scaffolding just to get up into the tailgate. WHY? Also, too many stupid coal rollers out there for no other reason than express their inner redneck. Got Camo? Put another buck caricature sticker with a doe looking like a heart on the back window while you're at it. The only current truck that mildly gets my attention is the new Raptor. And yes it is only because it is a Ford. Otherwise I see no point in it. Personally I sick of SUVs and trucks over populating the roadways and parking lots for people with no need of transporting anything beyond their children or groceries. They'll NEVER see an off road excursion, outside their sliding off the highway in icy conditions because they over trust the truck (or SUV)'s 4 wheel drive to somehow magically make them impervious to road conditions. I've seen it happen too many times in the past. Most don't even know how 4 wheel drive works, let alone they have street tires on them.
