Well, I have been looking to downgrade my car payments from my 2005 Subaru to a 98-03 Tacoma. Tacoma came well recommended from my bro in law as well as others who own them.
I am most interested in an extended cab, 4cyl, 4WD. I would prefer a manual tanny, but automatic will do. I have some questions:
-First, what is the observed gas milage between the 4cyl, and the 6cyl? I live on the flatlands east of the rockies in Colorado. I commute about 40 miles a day into work (4cyl.), but I sometimes would haul stuff, and head to the mountains as well (perhaps the 6cyl then?) My moutain driving would mainly be for skiing, thus staying on the highway. I don't tow anything right now, but perhaps a small pop-up camper someday?
-Extended cab? First, how big is it? I would at least like to know if it could comfortably fit my dog (a Lab/Bloodhound mix, to give you guys an idea of her size) for longer trips when my SO and I decide to go up to the family cabin.
-Any folks from Colorado know of a good honest place to look for a used Tacoma?
-Any dealer guys know if I would hose myself (financially) trading in my Subaru (with about 16k left to pay) for a cheaper Tacoma?
Thanks in advance for helping me out! Hopefully I can find something good for me and contribute more in the future. Looks like a great site!
