Tacoma is the only one that comes with a long bed. It also is only one of two that comes in a two-door version, and one of two that comes with manual transmission.
Toyota’s focus on quality, durability and reliability, or QDR, helped as well. Tacomas have some of the highest residual values on the market.
The 2 best overall vehicles I’ve ever owned have both been Toyotas.....one being an ‘09 Tacoma.
I had a 2022 Nissan Frontier (newest generation), and I now have a 2024. Both are long beds, but they are difficult to find.
Love this truck. The engine has some serious cajones.
Probably don’t rust out like the other dreck either.
Long before they took over the US market they took over the market in Africa for those reasons. When you are out in the middle of nowhere it just has to work. You can't just say, oh, ok, I'll take the metro.
