The tests of your truck report 0-60 times of *over* 8 seconds, with
professional drivers.


I beat 8 seconds several times once the truck had 5000 miles on it, and
I'm not the word's best shifter on the manual tranny.

Incidentally, you boychiks left out the best parts of the CR review,
the
reasons why the Tacoma is the leading seller in its class:

"While full-sized pickup trucks increasingly adopt luxury trappings,
compact trucks remain utilitarian workhorses. The Tacoma is a reliable
but down-and-dirty example of function trumping form.


'Simply put, the Tacoma is the perfect truck for landscapers and
contractors.


"This beast of burden has a bulletproof reliability track record, a
tough-as-nails chassis, and a durable composite-*plastic bed. For
off-roading adventures, the capable Tacoma has few peers.

"True to its heritage as a work truck, the Tacoma admirably tolerates
those sorts of duties. It trundled up our rock hill with ease. The
damped tailgate is a charm to lower but a chore to raise. And though it
varies based on the body and power*train, our truck is rated to tow
6,400 pounds—that’s a 23-foot Airstream trailer, folks."

Have nice day, truck poseurs.


I posted the funny part - which is what made a great review of a
mediocre truck.




No, **** for brains, the Tacoma is a great *truck* but it is a lousy
sports car. I bought it because of its truck abilities and how it
matched my particular truck needs. And unlike that p.o.s. oversized
truck you don't drive much because of its size and fuel burn, I get
pretty decent mileage.

John's truck matches his particular truck needs, just like the Tacoma
matches yours. Try towing his fifth wheel up and down a few hills and
see if you have a clutch or engine left.




I have no interest in oversized trucks and portable motel rooms, but I
do like a truck that doesn't give me pause when I want to drive it to
the supermarket.
